An Agent Based Approach for Efficient Energy Management of Microgrids

Demand Side Management (DSM) is to be handled in a better coordinated way with the increase in the intermittency of the renewable energy sources (RES) into the power sector. With the implementation of centralized control having its own drawbacks, Microgrids are emerging as a potential entity for managing it efficiently. In this paper, an agent based approach for the implementation of the supply and load balance is realized. A decentralized control ensures that the balance in load and supply is achieved when these micro grids are working in islanded mode. The agent implementation is done in Java using Java Agent Development Environment (JADE). The interactions of the components of the micro grid are shown in a sniffer diagram in JADE.
