Abstract
Local producers and storage units will play a major role in the future electricity grid along with the challenge of sustainability. For this reason, smart grid simulations are needed to forecast the challenges of two-way information and energy flow. The Power Trading Agent Competition (Power TAC) provides an open source simulation platform to enable and verify various smart grid studies from the perspective of sustainability. Besides, an annual competition is hosted in which autonomous agents trade in energy markets and make profits. AgentUDE won the Power TAC 2014 Final as a broker utilizing an adaptive agent. This paper details the trading strategies of AgentUDE and analyzes the tournament.
