Abstract
In this paper, we propose an autonomous Micro Grid operation by using multi-agent approach. The proposed multi-agent system consists of seven types of agent: single Micro Grid controller agent (MGC), several Load agents (LAGs), several gas-turbines (gas-engine) agents (GAGs), several photovoltaic generation agents (PVAGs), several wind-turbine generation agents (WTAGs), several battery agents (BAGs), and single grid agent (GridAG). In a Micro Grid, LAGs act as consumers or buyers, GAGs, PVAGs and WTAGs act as producers or sellers, and BAGs act as prosumers or sellers/buyers. In order to verify the performance of the proposed system, it applied to a simple model system with different electrical power prices. From the simulation results, it can be seen the proposed multi-agent system could perform the Smart Grid operation efficiently.
