Abstract
In this paper, we propose a multi-agent based electric power interchange method between micro-grids (MGs). The proposed multi-agent system consists of eight types of agent: single micro virtual power plant agent (MVPP), several Micro Grid controller agents (MGCs), 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 the proposed system, MVPP plays as an important role, which facilitates the electric power exchange between MGCs. From the simulation results, it can be seen the proposed multi-agent system could improve the load factor and reduce the MG operation cost.
