A new modular nanogrid energy management system based on multi-agent architecture

The emergence of renewable energy sources with controllable loads gave the opportunity to consumers build their own Microgrids. However, intermittence such as wind and photovoltaic leads some challenges in terms balancing generation consumption. This paper aims present a novel multi-agent model based intelligent control scheme balance home/building alternative current (AC)-direct (DC) load demands sources. new proposed consists three-level hierarchical multi agent system on cooperation, communication interaction between agents fulfill load's requirements. Then, framework is simulated using four different nanogrids prove its effectiveness temporal profiles for generators. designed be modular, so that it can considered sample from set similar modules, assigned buildings allow efficient sharing balancing. used approach this concept inspired auto-similar systems, which well suited easy implement systems. A co-simulation MATLAB JAVA/JADE platforms has been performed regarding production-consumption 24 hours baseline period.
