Over the last few years, the problem of voltage stability has received a lot of attraction from the power system community. This type of stability is now a major concern for utilities in both planning and operating conditions. Both static and dynamic aspects of the problem have been discussed and investigated by the researchers. The present paper concentrates on a Voltage Stability Analysis fun...

This paper presents a brief survey of recent works on Iterative Learning Control (ILC) of Energy Management System (EMS) based on a framework of Multi-Agent System (MAS). ILC is a control methodology which is especially suitable for dynamical systems whose control tasks are executed in a finite time interval and are repeated over and over. The key idea of ILC is to take available system informa...

A hybrid energy storage system (HESS) composed of a battery and super-capacitor (SC) can make full use of advantages in energy and power density, which can further improve the performance of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). Most studies have been limited to configuration and control to reduce the burden and prolong the life cycle of the battery, seldom focusing on the redesign of energy manageme...

This research presents an optimal scheme for the integration of renewable resources with utility grid to minimize operational cost residential and industrial microgrids. With changing paradigm solar photovoltaic in low-voltage distribution networks, utilities have allowed net metering feed-in tariff (FiT). These incentives encourage consumers contribute toward energy generation. However, conven...

The Japanese government’s setting of mediumterm targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions (cutting emissions by 25% from 1990 levels by 2020), revision of the “Law concerning the rational use of energy” (energy saving law), the international standard (ISO 50001) concerning energy management to be issued this year, and the like are measures that address the urgent need to prevent global warmi...

The demand of the energy management systems (EMS) set forth by modern power systems requires fast energy management systems. Contingency analysis is among the functions in EMS which is time consuming. In order to handle this limitation, this paper introduces agent based technology in the contingency analysis. The main function of agents is to speed up the performance. Negotiations process in de...

In this paper, an effective energy management system (EMS) for application in integrated building and microgrid system is introduced and implemented as a multi-objective optimization problem. The proposed architecture covers different key modelling aspects such as distributed heat and electricity generation characteristics, heat transfer and thermal dynamics of sustainable residential buildings...

A micro-grid is an energy community having various Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) such as diesel engines, micro turbines, solar power, wind power, fuel cells and energy storage devices. The multi-agent architecture offers a hierarchical structure is very suitable for managing multi-individual and heterogeneous DERs in the micro-grid environment. This paper proposes a multi-agent architectu...

All-electric ships are now a standard offering for energy/propulsion systems in boats. In this context, integrating fuel cells (FCs) as power sources in hybrid energy systems can be an interesting solution because of their high efficiency and low emission. The energy management strategy for different power sources has a great influence on the fuel consumption, dynamic performance and service li...
