ABSTRACT="The main contribution of this work is twofold. First, we apply, for the
first time, a framework borrowed from economics to a problem in the smart
grid namely, the design of signaling schemes between a consumer and
electricity aggregator when these have non-aligned objectives. The
consumer's objective is to meet its need in terms of power and send a
request (a message) to the aggregator which does not correspond, in
general, to its actual need. The aggregator, which receives this request,
wants not only to satisfy it but also wants to manage the cost induced by
the residential electricity distribution network. Second, we establish
connections between the exploited framework and quantization problem.
Although the model assumed for the payoff functions for the consumer and
aggregator is quite simple, it allows one to extract insights of practical
interests from the analysis conducted, to establish a direct connection
with quantization, and more importantly, to open a much more general
challenge for source and channel coding."
