Abstract
Studies have been carried out on the different aspects of the smart grid using models and simulations, however little is done to combine those efforts to study the smart grid and ecodistrict in the same context. In this paper we discuss the role of smart grid technologies in an ecodistrict context and the mathematical tools such as complex networks theory and game theory for modeling smart grid and ecodistrict. Further more, from a modeling point of view, we choose and discuss the multiagent based modeling approach due to the complex and unpredictable characteristics of the to be modeled system. With the help of multiagent modeling guideline ASPECS, an example of ecodistrict model is discussed, as well. The example can be extended to become a real world model to study different problems in smart grid or ecodistrict designing.
