Mechanism Design for Demand Response Programs with financial and non-monetary (social) Incentives

چکیده
Most demand management approaches with nonmandatory policies assume full users’ cooperation, which may not be the case given users’ beliefs, needs and preferences. In this paper we propose a mechanism for demand management including incentives both with and without money. The mechanism is validated by means of simulation, modeling the consumers as a finite multiagent system which evolves until a stable state, and social incentives diffusion using opinion dynamics.
