The analysis of proposed flyback inverter a...

This paper describes the implementation of Multi Agent System (MAS) for advanced distributed energy management of a solar micro-grid. We consider a grid connected solar micro-grid with two solar Photo Voltaic (PV) systems, and each system contains a local consumer, a solar PV system and a battery.
