In this paper, we consider energy cooperation in a smart grid scenario. We assume that grid nodes act as prosumers, who can generate energy thanks to harvesting procedures, and exploit the presence of a smart grid gateway that enables energy and money transactions between local and external prosumers. We propose to adopt a game theoretic approach, where the prosumers participating in the smart grid can efficiently improve their revenue. We built a simulator, in which we can tune the smart grid price settings, and compared the game theoretic approach with "always sell" , "always buy," and "random" strategies through smart grid simulations with 500 participants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
