TAC Energy - Serious Gaming for the Energy Sector
Speaker
Abstract
| This talk focuses on the conceptualization and implementation of a future "TAC Energy" game. TAC Energy will be a business game aimed at fostering research in energy systems automation by means of intelligent computer agents. Within the talk the basic game layout will be presented. In particular the talk will focus on the different game components (i) energy market, (ii) aggregator agents, (iii) energy consumers, and (iv) energy generators. The action domains of the players and their interactions with the game server are discussed along with the challenges they will have to address. The basic game flow will be presented and starting / closing rules as well as winner determination procedures are described. |
