A microgrid is composed of distributed power generation systems, distributed energy storge systems, loads as a small scale power system. Generally, the microgrid is operated by an energy management system (EMS). In this paper, a testing technique for a microgrid EMS using the hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) technique is introduced. Especially, the microgrid is composed of multiple buildi...

The objective of this paper is implementation of multiagent system (MAS) for the advanced distributed energy management and demand side management of a solar microgrid. Initially, Java agent development environment (JADE) frame work is used to implement MAS based dynamic energy management of solar microgrid. Due to unstable nature of MATLAB, when dealing with multithreading environment, MAS ope...

This paper deals with the problem of real-time management of Smart Grids.

Distributed energy resources and demand side management are expected to become more prevalent in the future electric power system. Coordinating the increased number of grid participants in an efficient and reliable way is going to be a major challenge. A potential solution is the employment of a distributed energy management approach which uses intelligence distributed over the grid to balance ...

Energy consumption in buildings represents approximately one-third of total energy produced globally. Towards efforts to reduce energy consumption of buildings while also improving its operational efficiency, building controls based on the Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) paradigm have been proposed and developed for use in building operations due to its key features such as learning and adaptation. T...

Electricity consumption in the world is constantly increasing, making our lives become more and more dependent on electricity. There are several new paradigms proposed in the field of power grids. In Japan, especially after the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, the new power grid paradigms are expected to be more resilient to survive several difficulties during disasters. In this paper...

With the development of micro gas turbines (MT) and power-to-gas (P2G) technology, electric–gas system plays an important role in maintaining stable, economical, flexible operation microgrid. When subjected to power load disturbance natural disturbance, controller needs coordinately control frequency microgrid pressure at pipeline nodes. Additionally, reliability stability a multi-microgrid are...

This paper proposes a multi-agent system for energy resource scheduling of an islanded power system with distributed resources, which consists of integrated microgrids and lumped loads. Distributed intelligent multiagent technology is applied to make the power system more reliable, efficient and capable of exploiting and integrating alternative sources of energy. The algorithm behind the propos...

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.

Microgrids can significantly improve the utilization of distributed generation (DG) and the reliability of the power supply. However, in the grid-tied operational mode, the interaction between the microgrid and the distribution network cannot be ignored. The paper proposes an equivalent modeling method for the microgrid under grid-tied mode based on a characteristic model. It can simplify the m...
