Operating strategy of an energy sharing community using generalized Stackelberg game

Abstract

We address two operating strategies of an energy sharing community. First, the system model and the transaction models are defined to formulate two different Stackelberg games. We define the one-to-one and the one-to-N Stackelberg games that have different decision-making schemes and propose two algorithms and the related parameters. We then confirm the increase in the community's utility and the decrease in the grid dependence by conducting a simulation study. Finally, we also investigate the necessity of the community-level ESS, the effectiveness of the algorithms in various scenarios, and the impacts of the parameters.
