“…The communication between the aggregator and the consumers was performed through RabbitMQ [45], a message-oriented middleware that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) [46]. The communication logic was designed in order to exploit several advantages of AMQP, such as the advanced routing of messaging as well as both publish-subscribe and point-to-point request-response communication, as shown in [43].…”

“…(11) Depending on the capability of an energy resource to provide flexibility to τ , a consumer can locally change the state of the energy resource between the two states: Disconnected and Available. At each change of state, the consumer needs to notify the aggregator through the message-oriented middleware, as detailed in [43]. If an energy resource is moved to the Available state, the consumer sends a bid to the aggregator containing the flexibility value (i.e.…”

The uncertainty caused by the variability in renewable energy production requires the engagement of consumer-side energy production and consumption to provide sufficient flexibility and reliability for the power grid. This study presents an algorithm for allocating tasks to distributed energy resources allowing consumers to provide flexibility for frequency containment reserves. The task allocation algorithm aims at supporting the plug and play of energy resources, and it avoids the need for hard real-time messages during the coordination of the resources. The algorithm combines a novel control strategy with an information and communication technology architecture. The main decision logic of the algorithm is defined together with the distributed control logic. A prototype implementation of the overall system for frequency control is used to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm achieves the specified objectives, and has advantages compared to the state of the art solution.
