They are autonomous systems, where agents interact together to optimize decisions and reach system objectives. This paper presents an overview of multi-agent systems for microgrid control and management.
Decomposed further into microgrids, these small-scaled power systems increase control and management efficiency. With scattered renewable energy resources and loads, multi-agent systems are a viable tool for controlling and improving the operation of microgrids.
Microgrids are small-scaled power systems, equipped with local RES, diesel generators (DG), batteries and a control unit that balances demand with supply to increase self-sufficiency, correct local faults and improve power quality.
In addition to energy generation management, demand–supply alignment and power cost reduction, MAS should ensure the operational safety of microgrids by controlling voltage and current flows. These measures are defined by the grid code of the country in which the microgrid is deployed.
With the time-variant microgrid topology, MAS is the best control strategy to handle all optimization issues in power grids. In the present review, a selection of papers about advanced optimization algorithms and techniques is discussed, and progress in MAS for microgrid control is summarized.
At the same time, microgrids are power systems that are subject to physical layer thresholds that should be strictly respected for operational safety. Therefore, while cooperating to achieve MAS objectives, agents are also required to respect these thresholds.
