Work description

The use of the coalition concept is growing with the need to allow small consumers to participate in electricity markets that are designed for larger consumers and retailers. Through a coalition, small consumers are able to participate in wholesale markets for the purchase and sale of energy (when they have their own generation), and even participate in flexibility markets. However, organizing these coalitions is not a trivial task, and a management entity, for example, an aggregator, is traditionally needed to determine the entities that will be part of each coalition. The expected work in this area concerning the description given is as follows: - Study in detail the existing models in the game theory literature for the study of modeling dynamic coalitions; - Formulate the energy and flexibility transaction problem using game theory with dynamic coalitions; - Assessment and discussion on the practical applicability of this type of models compared to traditional approaches; - Development and implementation of an optimization module for the aforementioned model in a Python environment; - Prepare a scientific report on activities and write scientific articles.
