Abstract
In this paper, we propose an agent-based model for investigating collective dynamics in community-based electricity sharing systems. In our simulations, we assume the absence of electricity grids and telecommunication infrastructure - a situation which might be induced by a big natural disaster or a large-scale black-out. Under such circumstances, electricity sharing systems based on decentralized, small-scale renewables could help meeting basic electricity demand. Since real-world tests are hardly possible for such a scenario, we analyze possible collective reactions via means of social simulation.
