ABSTRACT

The results of a multi-agent representation of the organizational, organizational-technological and information process of demand management in the Electricity Micromarket on the Local Electric Power System (LEPS) are presented. The main purpose of this representation is to build a multi-agent simulation model of the organizing trade interaction process between electricity producers and consumers as participants in demand-side management programs, with the structural elements of the Micromarket in the Power Grid and the centralized wholesale market. The structure and functions of the agents on the Micromarket multi-agent system are formulated, which can be used to directly build a system for managing the flow of electricity, finance and information in the Micromarket, as well as to solve the problems of developing programs and mechanisms for optimizing its operation in the context of improving the quality of electricity supply and the efficiency of the agents and the Micromarket as a whole.
