Construction of the Multi-Agent Environment Architecture of the Pricing Process Simulation Model in the Electricity Market

Abstract

The question of building the architecture of the multi-agent environment of the simulation model of the pricing process, as a space of heterogeneous interconnected organizational, infor-mational, technological and economic interactions of the simulated agents of the pricing pro-cess, is considered.Using the example of a complex organizational and technical system (COTS) of the electricity micro-market in local electric power systems, the set of agents sur-rounding them and ensuring the vital activity of the COTS of pricing is formalized, consisting of classified internal agents and environmental agents with a definition of their functional pur-pose. It was established that a set of partially observable influence factors of subjects of the electricity micro-market external environment are additionally formalized in the multi-agent pricing system as communication agents with stochastic, dynamic. but with discrete fixation of distinct states of observation processes in this environment. As a result, the simulation model of the pricing process is presented as a heterogeneous distributed multi-agent system.
