In this paper, we proposed a novel serious game for decentralized autonomous electric power network called i-Rene （inter intelligent renewable energy network）. Renewable energy sources and micro energy-storages have been attracted in years past. We have proposed a concept which not only improves energy independence but also achieves an optimal allocation of renewables by introducing market mechanisms based on artificial learning multi-agent system. Although such decentralized network would play an important role to install further renewable energy, there is no similar system in this real world today. Many people are unfamiliar with such renewable energy network. It means that the many people are not ready to adopt such decentralized autonomous electric power network. This has been an invisible barrier to install the new electric power network. To solve this problem, we propose to use a serious game. We developed a handon game simulating i-Rene based on serious game concepts. We evaluate the performance of this platform through two experiments.
