RE: [emix] What about Price Look-ahead.
Toby et al.:

 

If EMIX
takes-on the look-ahead that I would argue is definitely needed for appliances
to make more than simple, snap decisions about their energy use, then it is imperative
that we figure-out a way to prevent gaming of the system by the “market
makers” that will institute wholesale trading on the EMIX model. 

 

That is to
say, if this were compared to the stock-market model of electronic trading, “look-ahead”
would be akin to soothsaying market trends and those with the quickest and
most-connected systems could profit off the highs and lows to the detriment of
the market as a whole. 

 

Thoughts;
both on my gaming theory as well as how to prevent problems with look-ahead? 

 

Cheers, 

- Jeremy

Subject: [emix] What about Price
Look-ahead.

 

Assume
we have a basic Emix done. Does the specification include a look-ahead?

 

Arguments:

 

Against:

This
is a market interaction pattern that properly belongs in EnergyInterop

 

For:

Appliances
and SEP 2.0 should need no more than EMIX. If Appliances and SEP need price
look-ahead, than it goes into EMIX
