Resumo(s)
This thesis explores the transformative potential of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading as an
extension to existing centralized systems, where energy is distributed exclusively by the utility
company. Using agent-based modeling (ABM), the study simulates interactions between
prosumers, consumers, and utility providers to examine the benefits of P2P trading. The
findings reveal that P2P trading provides financial benefits, enhances energy autonomy by
enabling local energy use, and improves energy resilience by decreasing reliance on centralized
grids. These insights provide actionable recommendations for end-users, policymakers, and
utilities, highlighting the role of P2P systems in advancing a decentralized and consumer-driven
energy transition.
