In this paper, the problem of smart grid energy management under stochastic dynamics is investigated. In the considered model, at the demand side, it is assumed that customers can act as prosumers who own renewable energy sources and can both produce and consume energy. Due to the coupling between the prosumers' decisions and the stochastic nature of renewable energy, the interaction among prosumers is formulated as a stochastic game, in which each prosumer seeks to maximize its payoff, in terms of revenues, by controlling its energy consumption and demand. In particular, the subjective behavior of prosumers is explicitly reflected into their payoff functions using prospect theory, a powerful framework that allows modeling real-life human choices. For this prospect-based stochastic game, it is shown that there always exists a stationary Nash equilibrium where the prosumers' trading policies in the equilibrium are independent of the time and their histories of the play. Moreover, a novel distributed algorithm with no information sharing among prosumers is proposed and shown to converge to an $ε$-Nash equilibrium. On the other hand, at the supply side, the interaction between the utility company and the prosumers is formulated as an online optimization problem in which the utility company's goal is to learn its optimal energy allocation rules. For this case, it is shown that such an optimization problem admits a no-regret algorithm meaning that regardless of the actual outcome of the game among the prosumers, the utility company can follow a strategy that mitigates its allocation costs as if it knew the entire demand market a priori. Simulation results show the convergence of the proposed algorithms to their predicted outcomes and present new insights resulting from prospect theory that contribute toward more efficient energy management in the smart grids.

主要发现
- 所提出的随机博弈中存在平稳纳什均衡,确保在前景理论偏好下产消者长期行为的稳定性。
- 所提出的分布式算法几乎必然收敛至 ϵ-纳什均衡,且信息交换极少,支持去中心化决策。
- 仿真结果证实算法收敛至预测的均衡策略,产消者根据损失厌恶与储能约束调整行为。
- 配电公司 regret 随时间减少,交互次数增加后趋近于零,尤其在产消者市场稳定于 ϵ-纳什均衡后更为明显。
- 可再生能源可靠性更高的产消者(如 μ₃=1, σ²₃=1)所需外部能源更少,且分配方差更低;而可靠性较低的产消者(如 μ₁=0.5, σ²₁=2)表现出更高且更不稳定的需电量波动。
- 配电公司能源分配的方差随时间减小,表明在产消者行为稳定后,预测性与学习效率均得到提升。
