Abstract

The domestic energy market is changing with the increasing availability of energy micro-generating facilities. On the long run, households will have the possibility to trade energy for purchasing to and for selling from a number of different actors. We model such a futuristic scenario using software agents. In this paper we illustrate an implementation including the interfacing with a physical Smart Meter and provide initial simulation results. Given the high autonomy of the actors in the domestic market and the complex set of behaviors, the agent approach proves to be effective for both modeling and simulating purposes.
