Abstract

This paper presents a large-scale application of multiagent evolutionary modeling to the proposed new electricity trading arrangements (NETA) in the UK. This is a detailed plant-by-plant model with an active specification of the demand side of the market. NETA involves a bilateral forward market followed by a balancing mechanism and then an imbalance settlement process. This agent-based simulation model was able to provide pricing and strategic insights, ahead of NETA's actual introduction
