Abstract

Electricity-access is a growing concern in developing countries of Sub-Saharan Africa where approximately 563million people (8% of the global population) lack electricity. Many use fossil-fuel generators and/or solar-home-systems (SHSs) with storage. Given the observed excess and unutilized electricity generated from these SHSs, a novel community peer-to-peer (P2P) electricity-market using automated negotiations is presented as a solution to improve access to electricity. Software agents representing World Bank Tiers 1 – 4 electricity-access households bilaterally negotiate electricity price and quantities applying five different negotiations heuristics. Simulation results show 65 – 100% trade of the excess generation; with Tiers 1 – 2 (low-income households) negotiating sufficient electricity (1 – 1.1kWh/day) at the least market-price of £0.35/kWh to move to Tier 3. Likewise, the Tier 3 household agent negotiated 1.5kWh/day sufficient to meet its needs. This novel electricitymarket model can help drive the United Nations goal of affordable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030.

离网社区可再生能源点对点交易的自动协商

在撒哈拉以南非洲的发展中国家，电力供应日益受到关注，那里约有5.63亿人(占全球人口的8%)缺电。许多人使用化石燃料发电机和/或太阳能家庭系统(SHSs)与存储。鉴于观察到这些SHSs产生的多余和未利用的电力，提出了一种使用自动协商的新型社区点对点(P2P)电力市场作为改善电力获取的解决方案。代表世界银行1 - 4级电力接入家庭的软件代理采用五种不同的谈判启发式双边谈判电价和电量。仿真结果表明:65 ~ 100%的多余发电交易;与1 - 2层(低收入家庭)协商足够的电力(1 - 1.1千瓦时/天)，最低市场价格为0.35英镑/千瓦时，以转移到3层。同样，三级家庭代理商协商1.5千瓦时/天足以满足其需求。这种新颖的电力市场模式有助于推动联合国到2030年为所有人提供负担得起的、可持续的现代能源的目标。
