ethical-smart-grid

This is a third-party Gym environment, focusing on learning ethically-aligned behaviours in a Smart Grid use-case.

A Smart Grid contains several prosumer (prosumer-consumer) agents that interact in a shared environment by consuming and exchanging energy. These agents have an energy need, at each time step, that they must satisfy by consuming energy. However, they should respect a set of moral values as they do so, i.e., exhibiting an ethically-aligned behaviour.

Moral values are encoded in the reward functions, which determine the “correctness” of an agent’s action, with respect to these moral values. Agents receive rewards as feedback that guide them towards a better behaviour.
