Title
An investigation of emergent collaboration under uncertainty and minimal information in energy domains
Abstract
We study the phenomenon of evolution of cooperation in the electricity domain, where self-interested agents representing distributed energy resources (DERs) strategize for maximizing payoff. From the system's viewpoint cooperation represents a solution capable to cope with the increasing complexity, generated by the introduction of DERs to the grid. The problem domain is modelled from a multi-agent system high-level perspective. We report on experiments with this model, giving the underlying understanding for the emergent behavior, in order to determine if and under what conditions such a collaborative behavior would hold. Finally we suggest how insights from this model can inspire mechanisms to instill cooperation as the dominant strategy.
