Consideration of Smart Grid Operations by Multi-Agent

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we propose an autonomous Smart Grid operation by using multi-agent approach. The proposed multiagent system consists of five types of agent: single Smart Grid controller agent (SGC), several Load agents (LAGs), several green power generation agents (GPAGs), several gas-turbines agents (GTAGs), and several battery agents (BAGs). In a Smart Grid, LAGs act as consumers or buyers, GPAGs and GTAGs act as producers or sellers, and BAGs act as prosumers or sellers/buyers.In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, it applied to a simple model system with different electrical power rates (peak rate and off-peak rate). From the simulation results, it can be seen the proposed multiagent system could perform the Smart Grid operation efficiently
