Multi-agent System for Decentralized Energy Management Approach in Collaborative Microgrids

摘要

Microgrids contain different nanogrids with various power capacities and fluctuations in production. An overall strategy for managing power flow between all interconnected nanogrids is needed. This paper presents a multi-agent system approach for energy management among different nanogrids constituting a microgrid. In this paper, using multi-agent systems, the concept of collaborative microgrids with shareable resources is introduced. That allows the householders of an isolated district or community to collaborate and interact with eatch other in order to create a stable and proprietary microgrid. In addition, the proposed strategy emphasizes stockage decentralization, programming facilities for the designer. The results show that this approach is perfectly valid and can respond to most problems of centralized energy management systems while establishing a reliable and robust microgrid.
