Performance of Multi-agent Coordination of Distributed Energy Resources

چکیده
This paper describes our research in technology for the management and control of distributed energy resource agents. An agent-based management and control system is being developed to enable largescale deployment of distributed energy resources. Local intelligent agents will allow consumers who are connected at low levels in the distribution network to manage their energy requirements and participate in coordinated responses to network stimuli. Such responses can be used to ease the volatility of wholesale electricity prices and assist constrained networks during summer and winter demand peaks. In our system, coordination of energy resources is decentralized. The coordination mechanism is asynchronous and adapts to change in an unsupervised manner, making it intrinsically scalable and robust. Key-Words: Multi-agent coordination, Distributed energy resources, Agent-based management and control, Intelligent agent, Market-oriented algorithms, Price-based control.

This paper presents an online two-stage Q-learning based multi-agent (MA) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-area multi-source power system integrated with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed control strategy consists of two stages. The first stage is employed a PID controller which its parameters are designed using sine cosine optimization (SCO...
متن کاملImproving Multi-Agent Based Resource Coordination in Peer-to-Peer Networks
The distributed nature of peer-to-peer networks offers a solid ground for the deployment of environments where multiple agents, managing several resources, can cooperate in pursuing common and individual goals while achieving good overall performance. In this article we present a survey of recent work on the integration of multi-agent systems and peer-to-peer computing for resource coordination...
متن کاملField-test Upscaling of Multi-agent Coordination in the Electricity Grid
With the share of distributed energy resources and renewable energy source (DER/RES) rapidly increasing in the electricity grid, a new way of coordination is required to look after the interests of all the stakeholders. The PowerMatcher multi-agent coordination concept has been demonstrated in two relatively small field tests, in which a single optimisation goal was achieved. Currently, a new f...
متن کاملDistributed Coordination of Massively Multi-Agent Systems
Coordination is a key problem in massively multi-agent systems. As applications execute on distributed computer systems, coordination mechanisms must scalably bridge the network distance between where decisions are made and where they are to be enforced. Our work on the CyberOrgs model1 addresses this challenge by encapsulating distributed multi-agent computations along with computational and c...
متن کاملImproving Agent Performance for Multi-Resource Negotiation Using Learning Automata and Case-Based Reasoning
In electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. In order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. In multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. In recent ...
