Enabling Smart Control and Fair Sharing of Renewable Resources in Energy Communities

In many smart energy communities all over the world, consumers are joining forces to jointly invest in their own renewable energy generation (wind turbine, solar panels) and battery assets. But how can we efficiently control the community-owned infrastructure, and fairly distribute the output among consumers of different sizes and consumption profiles? Researchers at CWI Amsterdam and HeriotWatt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, are using techniques from distributed artificial intelligence to address this challenge.
