AI-based electricity markets

Abstract
Current electricity markets were designed at a time when power and energy systems were fundamentally different. With the current energy transition, and the digitalisation of energy systems, we will take the opportunity to completely rethink electricity markets by placing AI at the core of these markets. We will then challenge the current wholesale-retail structure, while also allowing for completely new market structures (community-based, peer-to-peer, etc.) and novel business models.  We will use AI to design and implement truly people-centric electricity markets, by better accommodating consumer preferences and fairness principles.
