An Energy Distribution Decision Method in Distributed Energy Management Systems with Several Agents

摘要

The need to control CO_2 emissions, which are the main factor of global warming, is one of the most important problems in the 21st century. Therefore, the efficient supply and use of energy are indispensable. We have studied distributed energy management systems (DEMSs), in which we target to optimal plans that minimize costs through electrical and thermal energy trading under CO_2 emissions regulation. Previously, a trading method in which the Market Oriented Programming (MOP) is applied to DEMSs was proposed. However, this trading method can be used in the DEMSs consisted of a single consumer and several producers. In this paper, extending this method, we propose a trading method that can be used in DEMSs which consist of several consumers and several producers. Experimental results show that the method is effective in the DEMSs with several consumers and several producers.
