  - Expanding renewable energy sources is essential for a sustainable energy supply
    but challenges grid stability, as the volatility of solar and wind causes periods
    of over- and undersupply. Private households are central to this transition, combining
    dynamic consumption with decentralised generation. This paper presents a multi-agent
    microgrid simulation built on the Mesa framework, focusing on the heterogeneous
    objectives and technological capabilities of residential participants. Households
    are modelled as autonomous agents with individual strategies, while a dedicated
    “grid agent” represents the distribution system operator and regulates the microgrid
    in a grid-supportive manner. The emission factor serves as the key indicator for
    grid-friendly behaviour. Results show that in summer, unmanaged PV feed-in from
    heterogeneous households causes substantial grid stress and balancing effort for
    the distribution system operator. Dynamic electricity prices can incentivise grid-friendly
    dispatch, but their effectiveness depends on the correlation between price signals
    and renewable availability and cannot guarantee grid-supportive behaviour alone.
    The grid agent reliably improves the grid-supportive coefficient, yet its operating
    strategy, for instance additional peak-reduction objectives, can interfere with
    price-based incentives. Effective demand-side management therefore requires careful
    analysis of stakeholder interactions. Building on this insight, thepaper provides
    a basic framework for the design, implementation, and assessment of both integrated
    and individual energy management strategies within a microgrid environment. By
    simulating the dynamic interactions among system participants and strategies,
    it enables comprehensive evaluation of their collective impact on the grid, supporting
    the development of robust solutions for future electricity networks.@eng
