Efficient Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading Mechanisms with Unreliable Prosumers

Angeliki Anastopoulou, George D Stamoulis, Iordanis Koutsopoulos

We model and analyze a peer-to-peer (p2p) energy trading market under uncertainty in the traded energy, in a setting with multiple sellers and buyers. A set of prosumers sell in the market their energy surplus units, which are subject to uncertainty for being actually available, while other prosumers buy energy to cover their deficit units, which are subject to uncertainty for being actually needed. Given the different levels of uncertainty of different prosumers and different energy units, the p2p trading problem is to match energy demand and supply and to specify the payments of buyers and compensations to sellers.(...)
