Modeling the energy community members’ willingness to change their behaviour with multi-agent systems: A stochastic approach
Abstract
Collective actions in the context provided by energy communities and more sobriety from energy users could both represent a potential solution for significantly reducing carbon emissions in residential areas. However, research are needed to properly understand, model and simulate the collective behaviour of communities owning a PV plant with energy sharing mechanisms suggested by an European directive. In this context, we propose a multi-agent modeling framework for simulating energy communities that is built upon a stochastic interpretation of the willingness of energy users to modify their consumption. The proposed concept includes an intelligent decision support system that assists community members during their daily activities and provides optimal recommendations to minimise the collective net-energy-exchanged-with-the-grid. The paper includes a case study where we present the impact of …
