Wireless Sensors Networks Applications For Micro-Grids Management: State of Art

HAL is a multidisciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.The complexity and the decentralization of Micro-Grids have led to management and diagnosis issues because of using distributed power sources, especially the renewable energy sources. Wireless Sensor Networks can substitute part of the communication infrastructure of the Micro-Grid, it deploys between its elements in order to ensure data flow in real time. It allows energy management applications to have more interesting cost and efficiency. The present work discusses the Wireless Sensor Networks usage dedicated to energy management and default diagnosis in Micro-Grids

Energy management system for residential customers integrating Multi Agent Approach

The paper deals with an Energy Management System of a micro-grid feeding a community of several residential buildings. The proposed micro-grid includes a photovoltaic energy production and a storage system based on batteries. The energy management system object is to optimize the main grid energy efficiency. To ensure the concept of management decentralization, we propose in this study the integration of an Artificial Intelligence Algorithm: The Multi Agent Systems. A specific agent is dedicated to each Micro-Grid component. Physical agents using Raspberry Pi are also presented and the communication between the different agents is insured by Wi-Fi technology.The simulation results of Micro-Grid based Multi Agent Systems management are mentioned and a porotype of experimental exchange between two physical agents is also propose
