Abstract
The increase of distributed generation (DG) has brought about new challenges in electrical networks electricity markets and in DG units operation and management. Several approaches are being developed to manage the emerging potential of DG, such as Virtual Power Players (VPPs), which aggregate DG plants; and Smart Grids, an approach that views generation and associated loads as a subsystem. This paper presents a multi-level negotiation mechanism for Smart Grids optimal operation and negotiation in the electricity markets, considering the advantages of VPPs' management. The proposed methodology is implemented and tested in MASCEM - a multiagent electricity market simulator, developed to allow deep studies of the interactions between the players that take part in the electricity market negotiations.Keywords
