A notable feature in the smart grid is the widespread usage of energy storage devices. How to manage those storage devices is a key problem for the smart grid. In this paper, a novel adaptive agent learning ZIPEM algorithm is presented for management of the storage devices. A system with such algorithm allows multi-agent learning that leads to optimal energy storage strategy. The experimental results show that load factor during peak time reduced significantly, and it is possible to save up to 6 percent per consumer on electricity expenses with a storage device of 2 kWh. Moreover, emissions of carbon-dioxide from power generation processes can decrease by 6.3 percent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
