Abstract

An agent-based organizational model for a smart energy system is introduced relying on a dynamic coalition formation mechanism for virtual power plants. Central to this mechanism we propose a solution concept that stems from the existent stability notions in coalitional games. The process is intended as an open-ended organizational adaptation, concerned with achieving stable configurations that meet the desired functionalities within stochastic scenarios. We deploy the mechanism in distributed environments populated by negotiating agents and give empirical results that prove a significant improvement of organizational efficiency.
