A multi-agent-based energy-coordination control system for grid-connected large-scale wind–photovoltaic energy storage power-generation units

Multi-agent systems applied for energy systems integration: State-of-the-art applications and trends in microgrids

“…A second report, by McArthur et al [55] emphasized techniques and tools that could favor and support engineers to use MAS. The authors indicate the Java Agent Development Framework (JADE) [56], which is a FIPA (The Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) standard-based MAS framework supporting multi-agent development with facilities of agent management, as an important agent platform implementation (which has being used in different SG applications [57][58][59][60][61]). However, some limitations for widespread adoption of MAS technology over SG systems were also highlighted by McArthur et al [17], such as: Portability; Real implementation and security; Scalability in large scale real problems.…”

An integrated supply-demand model for the optimization of energy flow in the urban system

“…Recent studies have addressed the application of agent-based models explicitly representing the rule of the city's electricity network to reduce energy use and peak demand at the end-user level through supporting energy efficiency programs, smart grid programs, appliance and building standards and other extra-market efforts (Lee et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2011;Jackson, 2010). Further applications of these models for improving the performance of the electricity supply system in cities by connecting microgirds such as photovoltaic systems and small wind turbine plants to the city's grid have been addressed by Kuznetsova et al (2014), Wu and Zhou (2014).…”

Control strategies for integration of thermal energy storage into buildings: State-of-the-art review

“…Multi-agent control has been utilized in renewable-energy power-generation units with electrical energy storage systems to improve operation efficiency and stability [55].…”
