Multi-Agent Mechanism for Efficient Cooperative Use of Energy: (Extended Abstract).

Promoting the development of renewable energies and the efficient and intelligent use of energy could be achieved through making adaptive consumer demands to energy supply. In this paper, we propose a mechanism based on three time scales, year, day and hour and three sets of agents, consumers, aggregators and providers to adapt consumption to production. We propose to use in this model the breakthroughs in energy: grouping consumers to reduce deviation in aggregated demand, Time-of-Use and Prediction-of-Use tariff schemes, storage capacities, shifting and the possibility for consumers to produce energy.
