Agent-Based Models in Electricity Markets: A Literature Review

TLDR
A review of the literature on different applications of ABM in electricity markets is provided in this paper, where it is shown that ABMs have been applied to a wide range of studies of different parts of electricity trading.
Abstract
The complexity of modeling electricity markets is increasing, due to for example increased penetration of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles and more active participation from the demand side. An analysis of a system with multiple market participants displaying certain behavior, could be difficult through an optimization problem. Due to several advantages, agent based approach can be followed to model the behavior of different market participants in the electricity markets. Lately, considerable amount of research work has been carried out on developing Agent-Based Models (ABMs) for electricity markets. This paper is aimed at providing a review of the literature on different applications of ABM in electricity markets. It is shown that ABMs have been applied to a wide range of studies of different parts of electricity trading. Some specific electricity markets modeled with ABMs have also been mentioned. According to the literature survey, the research gap is highlighted and future scope of work in this area is discussed.

Comparison and empirical validaton of optimizing and agent-based models of the Italian electricity market

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the explanatory performances of an agent-based model with a supply function equilibrium model on the same dataset, and find that the agent model is better able to capture the intraday profile of power prices, but both models tend to overestimate the degree of competition among generating companies.
