This paper proposes a multi-agent benefit distribution method for virtual power plants
incorporating two major improvements to the traditional Shapley value approach. Firstly
a correction factor is introduced to adjust the classical Shapley value by comprehensively accounting for each agent’s resource input
risk exposure
and contribution to emission reduction within the coalition. Secondly
a reinforcement learning-based sampling method is employed to approximate benefit distribution
effectively addressing the “combinatorial explosion” problem caused by a large number of participating agents. The proposed model is applied to a case study of a virtual power plant
demonstrating enhanced computational efficiency without compromising accuracy.
