GIS-Integrated Agent-Based Modeling of Residential Solar PV Diffusion Energy Systems transformation Scott A. Robinson, Matt Stringer, Varun Rai, & Abhishek Tondon

Motivation

Agent Based Modeling -> Time Follow decision rules ( functions ) Have memory Perceive their environment Are heterogeneous Are autonomous Agents: From: Deffuant, 2002.

Agent Attribute Example: Wealth PV Adoption by QuartileAverage Income by Quartile

Agent Attribute: Wealth

Environment Example: Tree Cover > 60% Tree cover < 15% Tree cover

Yes No Are there PV owners in my network? RA: select one network connection. Is connection credible? No further activity Agent Initialization: Small World Network of n% Locals, 1-n% Non-locals. Assign initial Attitude Modify SIA. Is SIA >= threshold? ADOPT Financially capable? Wealth + NPV + PP (Control) Behavioral Model Attitude becomes socially informed: SIA From: Watts, 1998.

Implementation Focus Test Site : One zip code in Austin, TX 7692 households 146 PV Adopters (1.9%) as of Q City of Austin had approx PV Adopters Time Period : Q – Q Methods : Multiple runs in each batch to allow for inherent randomness in network initialization and interaction effects Runs in a batch have identical parameters Validation : Batches test different parameters against real test site data.

Temporal Validation Empirical Many strong interactions, radial neighborhoods, 90% local connections. Adopters are EOHs. Few weak interactions, no EOHs Weak interactions More non-local connections Weak interactions, contiguous neighborhoods

Spatial Validation

Current Work Agent Class: Installers -> Time

Summary ABMs are virtual laboratories PV diffusion is a complex process with rich interaction effects : Agent behavior: theory of planned behavior Agent networks: small world networks Agent interaction: relative agreement algorithm Multidimensional validation (space and time) allows the robustness of the ABM to be tested against “ ground truth ” events. Early testing: Strong, monthly interactions 90% geographic locals. 2000ft radial neighborhoods Existing adopters with low uncertainty in attitude. Low RMSE (3.6), and accurate clustering (1 false positive).
