Intelligent energy management system

Abstract

Energy management is nowadays a subject of great importance and complexity. It consists in choosing among a set of sources able to produce energy that will give energy to a set of loads by minimising losses and costs. The sources and loads are heterogeneous, distributed and the reaction of the system, the choice of sources, must be done in real-time to avoid power outage. The goal of this paper is to present a system able to selfregulate a heterogeneous set of power sources and loads organised as a coherent group of entities that is called microgrid, in order to optimize several criteria such as: cost and efficiency. This system is based upon the Multi-Agent Systems paradigm. Each micro-grid entity is modelled as an autonomous agent able to interact and with it owns decision making mechanism. It takes into account the characteristics of the source or load types it belongs to and self-organizes with other agents in order to globally optimize the given criteria.

Analysis of DC/DC converters by mean node voltage method

“…The state space equations can be derived by the circuit of figure 7 by using the LKV applied to the input loop and the LKI to the output node. By manipulating (13) and taking into account the approximation (14), the state space equations (15) are obtained.…”

“…In addition to vessels, aircrafts and other systems operated in islanding in which DC distribution is adopted, their use with a grid connection have been studied as well [12], this leads to simplify the distribution architecture with an increase of the efficiency [13]. In particular, the interest has been increased by the development of smart grids where an intelligent management of energy distribution allows energy distribution to be optimally exploited [14][15][16]. Finally by a controlled DC/DC converter an emulator of a RES or a Fuel Cell can be realized for laboratory research purposes [17][18][19][20].…”

Enfoque para la validación sintáctica de modelos organizacionales de Sistemas Multiagentes

“…Todo esto trajo aparejado la necesidad de administrar de manera más eficiente la red, dando la introducción al concepto de Smart-Grid (Cirrincione, 2009;Fang, 2012). Las Smart-Grid son, en pocas palabras, un sistema eléctrico funcionando en paralelo con uno sistema informático.…”

“…al. [17] propose an intelligent energy management system, where there is a producer, consumer, and a broker. The broker provides the list of producers to the consumer.…”

“…The broker provides the list of producers to the consumer. Unlike the Token Management System (TMS) presented in this paper, the system in [17] does not schedule on demand. Kulshreshtha et.…”
