In these\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Emarkets, prosumers exchange surplus electricity directly through bilateral transactions rather\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Ethan relying on centralized wholesale market clearing. While decentralized P2P trading offers\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Elocal energy utilization and consumer participation, it also introduces strategic interactions\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eamong self-interested participants operating within the physical constraints of low-voltage, three\u0002phase distribution networks. Existing research has investigated strategic electricity markets,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Enetwork sensitivity analysis, and three-phase distribution system modeling as largely\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eindependent problems. Comparatively, less attention has been devoted to developing a unified\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Edecentralized framework in which strategic bilateral market interactions, prosumer duality, and\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Ethree-phase network feasibility are jointly represented while preserving decentralized market\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Ebehavior. This dissertation develops a decentralized game-theoretic framework for P2P energy trading that\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eintegrates strategic market behavior with distribution network operation. First, a P2P market\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Emodel is formulated to analyze bilateral trading under fixed buyer and seller roles where strategic\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Epricing and market equilibrium is determined. Second, the framework is extended through\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eprosumer duality, allowing each participant to simultaneously determine energy purchases and\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eenergy sales where that market roles emerge from equilibrium rather than being assigned a fixed\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eassignment. Finally, the decentralized market is coupled with a three-phase AC power flow\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eformulation that explicitly incorporates voltage constraints into the coordination of bilateral\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eenergy exchanges.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Decentralized Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Trading Market Improvements in Electrical Distribution Systems "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2026-08-07 15:08:29","changed_gmt":"2026-08-07 18:53:01","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-08-18T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-08-18T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-08-18T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-08-18 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-08-18 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-08-18 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room W218, Van Leer","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/249971405921129?p=v3rKUBuF6VMa95Pw3c","title":"Microsoft Teams Link "}],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
