Abstract: A method of trading electrical energy is provided. The method comprises a smart agent receiving state data affecting electricity usage within an electrical power grid over a specified time period and forecasting, with a supply/demand model, supply and demand for electricity within the power grid according to the state data. The smart agent uses a reinforced learning neural network to calculate a price for electricity according the state data and forecasted supply and demand. The smart agent submits an order to a matching engine to buy or sell electricity on the power grid at the calculated price according to specified market rules. The smart engine receives an acknowledgment from the matching engine if the order is matched to another agent on the power grid or a rejection from the matching engine if the order is not matched to another agent.
