Reference to Test Case

TC7

Title of Test

Validation of the trading coordinator platform to get the internal prices based on the prosumer's received bids.

Test Rationale

As the P2P Trading Coordinator is responsible for receiving the bids from the prosumers and send them back the internal price and is also in charge of managing the trading of energy with the retailer agent, this test seeks to evaluate the algorithm of the pricing module along with the performance of the communication module with the latter and the prosumers.

Specific Test System (graphical)

Community-based P2P architecture

P2P Trading Coordinator architecture

Target measures
  • Price signal
  • Communication signals between agents
Input and output parameters

Input parameters

  • Retailer’s price
  • Prosumer’s bids

Output parameters

  • Internal price
Test Design

Optimise the internal price based on the Prosumer’s bids

Initial system state
  • Measurement of input parameters
  • Communication established
Evolution of system state and test signals

Evaluation of the algorithm response up to the calculation of the final internal price

Other parameters

N/A

Temporal resolution

It will depend on the price signal sample, which can be from minutes to hour resolution.

Source of uncertainty

Price value, communication delay

Suspension criteria / Stopping criteria

Detection of abnormal price values, communication failure between agents
