Interested in how multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) can support the decentralization and decarbonization of energy networks and mitigate the associated challenges? Have a look at our survey, written with Chaimaa Essayeh, @UoE_Agents, and @TMorstyn arxiv.org/abs/2404.15583

New partnership with @nationalgriduk to help decarbonise power transmission. Great work from the whole team on getting this partnership going. More information on: edinburgh-innovations.ed.ac.… (my photography hobby also paid off with this featured picture 📷)

"Putting Wind and Solar in Their Place" - new paper with Iacopo Savelli, @jjeh102 and @camjhep.
We look at how we can improve the UK's renewable CfD auctions by accounting for cost & CO2 impacts of network congestion, redispatch and reserve requirements.
doi.org/10.1016/j.eneco.2022…
Key takeaways:
1. Carbon abatement from renewables depends on network congestion due to redispatch.
2. Deploying renewables in the south of GB can decrease congestion cost by £4.04/MWh.
3. Predictable renewable generation can decrease reserve costs by £2.44/MWh.

New paper out🚨It's hard to navigate the space of distributed energy resources coordination! The literature is growing exponentially, with many words like 'P2P' and 'transactive energy' thrown around. How do all coordination strategies relate to each other?bit.ly/3wP5cMP

ALT A framework for participation of prosumers in peer-to-peer energy trading and flexibility markets A framework is proposed to enable prosumers to join in P2P and flexibility markets. Proposing a local market employ flexible assets to manage the network by the DSO. A community-based flexibility market is designed to ensure the network’s security. An iterative auction is designed to clear flexibility markets in networks’ feeders.
