Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for integrating renewable and distributed energy resources into local energy grids with the presence of active prosumers. However, prosumers often have different preferences on energy trading price and amount. Therefore, in decentralized P2P energy markets, a negotiation between prosumers is needed to obtain a commonly satisfactory set of preferences, i.e., a market-clearing solution. To achieve that, this paper proposes a novel approach in which a decentralized inverse optimization problem is solved by prosumers to cooperatively learn to set their objective function parameters, given their preferential intervals of energy prices and amounts. As such, prosumers’ parameters can be determined in specific intervals computed analytically from the lower and upper bounds of their preferential intervals, if a certain learning condition is satisfied. Next, the structural robustness of prosumer’s cooperative learning against the malicious and Byzantine models of cyberattacks is studied with the weighted-mean-subsequence-reduced (WMSR) resilient consensus algorithm. A novel sufficient robustness condition is then derived. Finally, case studies are conducted on the IEEE European Low Voltage Test Feeder system to validate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.
