Abstract

Integrating large-scale micro-generation in distribution grids is challenging for distribution grid operators, particularly when renewable energy sources (RES) and micro-cogeneration are involved. In this paper we contend that recent developments in multiagent decision making under uncertainty can positively contribute to safe, efficient and cost-effective operation of future distribution grids.
