Game Theoretic Approaches for Smart Communities

Explore game theoretic approaches for smart communities in this 32-minute webinar presented by Luluwah Al Fagih from Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Qatar. Discover a smart energy management scheme based on non-cooperative dynamic game theory, where participants compete for the lowest electricity bill by scheduling their energy storage systems. Learn how this approach takes advantage of utility company pricing tariffs to flatten neighborhood load during peak times. Examine simulation results comparing game theoretic and individualistic approaches, and assess the potential for achieving near-constant load with a critical mass of battery owners. Then, investigate how this energy scheduling game can be applied to address Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shortages during the COVID-19 outbreak. Analyze experiments conducted using actual NHS England regional data to understand how specific stock management procedures can ease PPE supply challenges during disasters.
