“…Affine arithmetic is a proposed model for load forecast that minimises uncertainties in demands (Avila et al 2015). A shift from the known centralised control type of DSM was proposed by (Balakrishnan et al 2017) using an agentbased method for efficiently balancing supply and demand. The DSM is known to be implemented based on suitable strategic schemes.…”

A major challenge in renewable energy planning and integration with existing systems is the management of intermittence of the resources and customer demand uncertainties that are attributed to climates. In emerging distributed grids, state-of-the-art optimization techniques were used for cost and reliability objectives. In the existing literature, power dispatch and demand side management schemes were implemented for various techno-economic objectives. In renewable energy-based distributed grids, power dispatch is strategic to system operations. However, demand side management is preferred, as it allows more options for customer participation and active management of energy in buildings. Moreover, the demand side management can simply follow supplies. This paper investigates the implications of demand side management as it affects planning and operations in renewable energy-based distributed grids. Integration of demand side management in customer-oriented plans such as the time-of-use and real-time-pricing on residential and commercial demands is conceptualised to ensure effective customer participation which maintains the valued comforts. Moreover, the optimised tariff integrated demand side management implementations based on the utility-initiated demand response programmes are envisaged to offset conflicting objectives of the economy and customer comforts within residential and commercial demands and are also viewed as a step towards efficient management of energy in buildings.

Robust Energy Management and Economic Analysis of Microgrids Considering Different Battery Characteristics

This paper presents the economic analysis and optimal energy management of a grid-connected MG that comprises renewable energy resources and different battery storage technologies with different characteristics such as initial charge, depth of discharge, and the number of charging/discharging cycles to minimize the total operating cost of the system by maximizing the benefits of BSS, minimizing the investment and replacement cost of BSS, and minimizing the operation and maintenance cost of DGs. Several constraints are considered, such as the output power limits of the distributed generators, the limits of power imported from or exported to the grid, load balance, and other sets of battery storage constraints. The general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) is used to solve the deterministic optimization problem. Second, stochastic optimization is used to solve the deterministic problem with market price uncertainty. Third, robust optimization using the information gap decision theory is presented to model the electric load uncertainty. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed solution are explained by comparing the results obtained by GAMS to the results obtained by other optimization techniques presented in the literature.

“…The overall objective is to establish an efficient utilization of local resources and minimize the transfer of energy with other areas. References [17,18] propose using the Java Agent Development Environment (JADE) to facilitate the power management of agent-based systems. Indeed, JADE is an application platform for developing agent-based communication protocol.…”

A Novel Agent-Based Power Management Scheme for Smart Multiple-Microgrid Distribution Systems

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this work, a novel agent-based day-ahead power management scheme is proposed for multiple-microgrid distribution systems with the intent of reducing operational costs and improving system resilience. The proposed power sharing algorithm executes within each microgrid (MG) locally, and the neighboring MGs cooperate via a multi-agent system cooperation scheme, established to model the communication among the agents. The power management for each agent is modeled as a multi-objective optimization problem (MOP) including two objectives: maximizing load coverage and minimizing the operating costs. The proposed MOP is solved using the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II), where a set of Pareto optimal solutions is obtained for each agent through the NSGA-II. The final solution is obtained using an Analytical Hierarchical Process. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is evaluated using a benchmark 4-MG distribution system. It is shown that the proposed power management scheme and the cooperation of agents lead to a higher overall system resilience and lower operation costs during extreme events.
