Multi-Agent-Based Controller for Microgrids: An Overview and Case Study

A microgrid can be defined as a grid of interconnected distributed energy resources, loads and storage systems. In systems containing renewable the coordinated operation generation units is important to ensure stability microgrid. needs successful control scheme achieve its design goals. Undesirable situations such distorted voltage profile frequency fluctuations are significantly reduced by installing appropriate hardware systems, strategies. The multi-agent system one approaches used microgrids. application in electric power becoming popular because their inherent benefits autonomy, responsiveness, social ability. This study provides an overview agent concept well reviews recent research studies on systems’ addition, multi-agent-based controller management proposed for DC study. designed composed photovoltaic consisting 30 series-connected PV modules, wind turbine, synchronous generator, battery-based system, critical non-critical loads, system. controlled controller. has agent, battery load agent. roles each communication among agents properly goals, which basically bus quality stability. tested two different scenarios, performance been verified with MATLAB/Simulink simulations. simulation results show that constant any condition. Additionally, ensured variable conditions.
