• Abstract: With the advancement of the smart grid, the current energy system is moving towards a future where people can buy what they need, sell when they have excess, and can trade the right of buying to other prosumers. While the first two schemes already exist in the market, selling the right of buying, also known as negawatt trading, is something that is yet to be implemented. Here, we review the challenges and prospects of negawatt trading in light of recent technological advancements. Through reviewing a number of emerging technologies, we show that the necessary methodologies that are needed to establish negawatt trading as a feasible energy management scheme in the smart grid are already available. Grid interactive buildings and distributed ledger technologies for instance can ensure active participation and fair pricing. However, some additional challenges need to address for fully functional negawatt trading mechanisms in today's energy market.

  Power grids are moving towards 100% renewable energy source bulk power grids. Traditional root cause analysis and statistical approaches are rendered inapplicable to analyze and infer the main drivers behind price formation. We propose a machine learning-based analysis framework to deconstruct the primary drivers for price spike events in modern electricity markets with high renewable energy.

  In this paper, we design an automated P2P energy market that takes user perception into account. We introduce a risk-sensitive Q-learning mechanism named Q-b Pricing and Risk-sensitivity (PQR), which learns the optimal price for sellers considering their perceived utility. Results based on real traces of energy consumption and production, as well as realistic prospect theory functions, show that our approach achieves a 26% higher perceived value for buyers.

We show we can reduce the mean absolute error by 30% using an online algorithm when compared to the best offline algorithm. We also show that large errors in prediction accuracy have a disproportionate error on investments made over a 17-year time frame.
