Project Description

This work proposes an Artificial Intelligence managed Peer-to-peer energy trading network to increase renewable utilization. A simulator will be developed, Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning will be implemented, and game theory will be utilized to study the energy trading behaviour. This research will conclude by investigating the impact of different levels of renewable penetration on P2P energy networks in terms of peak reduction, cost savings and renewable utilization.
