Embracing Fairness in Consumer Electricity Markets using an Automatic Market Maker
<|reference_start|>Embracing Fairness in Consumer Electricity Markets using an Automatic Market Maker: As consumer flexibility becomes expected, it is important that the market mechanisms which attain that flexibility are perceived as fair. We set out fairness issues in energy markets today, and propose a market design to address them. Consumption is categorised as either essential or flexible with different prices and reliability levels for each. Prices are generated by an Automatic Market Maker (AMM) based on instantaneous scarcity and resource is allocated using a novel Fair Play algorithm. We empirically show the performance of the system over 1 year for 101 UK households and benchmark its performance against more classical approaches.<|reference_end|>
