Abstract

Sharing systems require some form of organization and negotiation for optimal access to the resource and price discovery. Various forms of organizations are introduced and discussed here, from pool-based to peer-to-peer, also considering a community-based approach. These various organizations are motivated, the related negotiation mechanisms described and their properties discussed. The example of electric energy sharing is used as a basis for discussion and illustration.

  1. 1.

    “Prosumer” is the generic term for those agents that can both supply and consume. The term “prosumer” literally comes from merging the terms “producer” and “consumer”.
