The mismatch between photovoltaic generation and residential load leads to relative modest rates of self-consumption of solar electricity unless expensive storage solutions are locally available. One alternative to batteries is the aggregation of demand of different prosumers, as the collective...

Agent-based computational economics is becoming widely used in practice. This paper explores the consistency of some of its standard techniques. We focus in particular on prevailing wholesale electricity trading simulation methods. We include different supply and demand representations and...

Berkshire County is home to about 135,000 people on the far western edge ofMassachusetts. It is perhaps best known as the scenic mountainous region that is home tocultural institutions such as Tanglewood (the summer home of the Boston SymphonyOrchestra). Although a rural, low-density county,...
