Abstract:
The integration of renewable energies in the electrical grid and the shift to a distributed structure of the grid had made the control operation extremely complicated. This complexity has prompted researchers to take an interest in the conception of smart interfaces in order to manage the operation of microgrids. This paper proposes an approach of microgrid management using the Multi Agent System (MAS) technique. Based on the distributed nature of MAS and their ability to communicate heterogeneous entities with each other’s, the studied approach consists in ensuring the adequate interactions between the concerned agents in order to perform two microgrid operation modes: the first one is the operation of the microgrid without connection with the main grid. In this case, the balance between supply and demand of energy must be achieved. The second operation mode consists on the sale and the purchase of electricity to/from the neighbors’ microgrids and the main grid.
