An iterative method for detection of the collusive strategy in prisoner's dilemma game of electricity market

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present a method, which is called the ‘iterative collusive strategy (CS) search method’, to detect the CS in prisoner's dilemma game in which there is collusive equilibrium. We apply this method to an example of two‐player prisoner's dilemma game and a numerical duopoly example to show its effectiveness. To simulate the electricity market models, we use this method with a local optimization algorithm. Then, we employ a hybrid technique by applying an agent‐based model to the iterative CS search method for improving the results and speeding up their convergence. We simulate an electricity market example with transmission constraint to test the effectiveness of local and hybrid iterative CS search methods. Simulation results show that both local and hybrid iterative CS search methods could successfully identify the CS; however, the hybrid iterative CS search method converges to the final results with less iteration numbers. © 2018 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Power Flow Analysis Using Deep Neural Networks in Three-Phase Unbalanced Smart Distribution Grids

“…Recently, with the advancement of technology, widespread deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs) and smart meters have enabled system operators and utilities to continuously monitor the grid to identify potential problems and improve the system's efficiency and reliability. A wealth of data measured by these devices has embraced the utilization of deep neural networks (DNNs) and other machine learning (ML) methods in various applications in power system data analytics such as load forecasting [16], [17], demand-side modeling [18], [19], wind and solar forecasting [20], [21], state estimation [22], [23], cyberpower anomaly detection [24], [25], security assessment [26], and PF calculations [27]. In particular, these methods are applied to power systems to achieve more accurate and reliable power flow calculation methods for more efficient power grid operations [27], [28], [29], [30], [31].…”
