In Canada only, 50% of the potentially available - non-hydro - renewable energy capacity is underutilized. It is highly challenging to integrate small-scale, distributed renewable energy generators to the utility power grid due to their intermittency. This NSERC Discovery Research Program aims to develop a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading platform along with the state-of-the-art reliable and low-latency communications network that will enable unprecedented opportunities for sharing energy among distributed consumers, generators and storage. Over the long-term, energy trading can unravel the use of renewable energy more efficiently and strengthen the resilience of the highly networked power grid in the face of disasters and attacks. The transformative research conducted under this program will contribute to the leadership of Canadian researchers in power and communication fields. In the short term, this program will lead to new analytical models and algorithms that will enhance the operation of the power grid along with its reliable, low-latency wireless communication infrastructure. This 5-year program will develop game-theoretic and stochastic multi-level optimization strategies to reach optimal trading decisions and enhance small cell networks in order to serve fast and reliable communication needs of energy trading. Multi-leader multi-follower games will be designed for players who do not have hierarchical organization. To the best of the applicant's knowledge, a tri-level optimization model will be developed to allow strategic bidding of players, for the first time. This project will focus on future wireless cellular networks consisting of ultra-dense small cells, to provide the flexibility and ubiquity for the on-the-road players (EVs) as well as plug-and-play generators. Facilitating energy trading over a network with high level of densification, call for effective dynamic network planning techniques that can optimize capacity, coverage, interference, energy, and balance the network load, organize the access to random channel and handle mobility while taking into account both the traditional mobile user traffic and the traffic generated by the P2P energy trading platform. This NSERC Discovery Research program will increase Canada's competitiveness in energy and communications sectors. It will allow underutilized, distributed renewable energy generation capacity to be effectively utilized. The proposed solutions will increase resilience to disasters. It will train personnel to be experts in cross-disciplinary areas in power and communication engineering fields and to contribute to the leadership of Canada in those fields. The training provided with this program will help students to build academic success, unique and marketable skill sets and provide abilities to grow their own professional careers.

仅在加拿大，50% 的潜在可用（非水力）可再生能源容量未得到充分利用。由于其间歇性，将小型分布式可再生能源发电机并入公用电网极具挑战性。 NSERC 发现研究计划旨在开发点对点 (P2P) 能源交易平台以及最先进的可靠和低延迟通信网络，为分布式消费者、发电机之间共享能源提供前所未有的机会和存储。从长远来看，能源交易可以更有效地解决可再生能源的使用问题，并增强高度网络化的电网面对灾害和攻击的恢复能力。该计划下进行的变革性研究将有助于加拿大研究人员在电力和通信领域的领导地位。在短期内，该计划将带来新的分析模型和算法，从而增强电网及其可靠、低延迟无线通信基础设施的运行。这个为期 5 年的计划将开发博弈论和随机多级优化策略，以达成最佳交易决策并增强小型蜂窝网络，以满足能源交易快速可靠的通信需求。多领导者多追随者游戏将为没有等级组织的玩家设计。据申请人所知，将首次开发三级优化模型以允许玩家进行策略性投标。该项目将重点关注由超密集小型蜂窝组成的未来无线蜂窝网络，为道路播放器（EV）以及即插即用发电机提供灵活性和普遍性。促进高密度网络上的能源交易，需要有效的动态网络规划技术，可以优化容量、覆盖、干扰、能量并平衡网络负载，组织随机信道的接入并处理移动性，同时考虑到两者传统移动用户流量和P2P能源交易平台产生的流量。 NSERC 的这一发现研究计划将提高加拿大在能源和通信领域的竞争力。它将使得未充分利用的分布式可再生能源发电能力得到有效利用。拟议的解决方案将提高抗灾能力。它将培养人才成为电力和通信工程领域跨学科领域的专家，并为加拿大在这些领域的领导地位做出贡献。该计划提供的培训将帮助学生取得学术成功、独特且适销对路的技能组合，并提供发展自己职业生涯的能力。
