Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Agents in power markets

Steve:

Yes, I'm on the Swarm modeling list.  I've just been too busy to respond right 
away!  Yes, I am involved with agent-based Power Systems modeling.  There are a 
variety of papers on this topic on the "papers" page accessible from 
http://www.cas.anl.gov/.  I am also glad to consider more detailed questions as 
well.

Have you checked with Leigh Tesfatsion? I know she has worked on 
simulating power markets with agent-based methods.
http://www.econ.iastate.edu/tesfatsi/ace.htm

Also Michael North at Argonne Natl Lab (who SHOULD be on 
Swarm-Modelling) works in that area.
