“…Given these results we can say that the proposed energy demand allocation method provides distributive justice dealing with the plurality of legitimate claims according to Pitt et al (2012). Furthermore, the method presented has been proven to be robust against external authorities (green quotas).…”

“…A total of six canons have been used, among the seven available in the methodology proposed in Pitt et al (2012): equality, need, productivity, effort, social utility, and supply and demand. The last canon, ability, has not been used because it is not appropriate in the microgrid management context.…”

“…A consensus should then be agreed on a single ranked list of the DERs to proceed to the allocation accordingly. To that end, Pitt et al (2012) proposes a Borda count protocol Emerson (2007), considered a consensus-based voting method. Then, for each partial rank list provided by each function f * , Borda points p DER i, * are assigned to each DER i , so rank k scores N DER − k + 1 points.…”

“…This paper proposes grounding the methodology in power systems and their particularities. To this end, we have adapted the method proposed by Pitt et al (2012) to energy demand allocation and power systems requirements in a microgrid (Piagi & Lasseter, 2006), where a set of DERs makes joint decisions regarding the energy demand allocation problem. Such an approach allows heterogeneous DERs to enjoy fair outcomes, including situations in which external interference could arise, such as when green energy quotas of generation are imposed.…”

The energy sector is being driven into a new era where considerable portions of electrical demand will be met through distributed energy resources (DERs). Microgrids have been suggested as a tool for integrating and managing DERs. In this context, we formulate the energy demand allocation problem in order to provide service to a given load. We then propose a dynamic method for agreeing and setting the rules to perform the allocation. The methodology is based on self-organisation and the concept of distributive justice which integrates different principles of fairness represented as legitimate claims. Legitimate claims are implemented as voting functions and are used to determine how the DER requests are satisfied. The method is tested by considering different configurations of DERs, mainly of the renewable type, and comparing them with other allocation methods. Results show that this self-organising allocation method provides a better balance amongst all the representations of justice, but also it is more robust for the external authorities that manipulate the allocation process.

A systematic literature review of sociotechnical systems in systems engineering

Systems engineers use the term sociotechnical system in academic literature and in their practice. Sociotechnical systems are gaining more attention as systems engineers aspire to address the social elements of their systems engineering practice as well as societal challenges, such as those included in the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Vision 2035. Even though there is a basic working definition of sociotechnical system in the Systems Engineering Book of Knowledge (SEBoK), use of the term varies in systems engineering literature depending on application domain. As systems engineering research and practice venture into social domains, it is critical that systems engineers have a shared understanding of terms they use as a foundation of knowledge and practice. To contribute to this foundation, this study is a systematic literature review of how the term sociotechnical system is used in systems engineering literature. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) methodological framework and Web of Science (WoS) for conducting the systematic literature review. We only included peer‐reviewed systems engineering academic papers in this study, and these papers had to either explicitly define the term or implicitly define it by context in the paper. In total, 61 papers were included after inclusion criteria were met, and these were evaluated and synthesized into definition categories. Evaluation and synthesis were conducted according to the PRISMA framework by the study authors in order to manage bias. We found that most papers use sociotechnical system generically as a system that includes social (people) and technical elements. Papers with more refined definitions of sociotechnical system stem from two distinct theoretical traditions: ergonomics/safety and philosophy of engineering. We do not aim to propose a single, normative definition of sociotechnical system. This study is limited by including only systems engineering literature since sociotechnical system has established definitions in other disciplines (e.g., social sciences disciplines). However, the outcome of this study provides systems engineers with documented understanding of how the term sociotechnical system is used within systems engineering.

Reducing peak electricity consumption is important to maximise use of renewable energy sources, and reduce the total amount of capacity required on a grid. Most approaches use a centralised optimisation algorithm run by a utility company. Here we develop a decentralised approach, where agents represent the interests of a household, and negotiate over when to run various appliances. We have developed an experimental framework that allows users' perceived fairness of different negotiation algorithms to be evaluated.
