“…In this paper, the focus is not specifically on the development of an agent-based system, but on the integration of this type of system with a HEMS. Hence, an open-source distributed agent based platform, VOLTTRON TM , was used and will be referenced here forth in tandem with MAS (Haack et al 2013). Also in this paper, a Home Assistants (HASS), which is an open-source home automation platform is chosen to represent the HEMS (Home Assistant n.d.).…”

In the United States, 41% of produced energy is consumed by the building sector, i.e. residential and commercial buildings (Building Energy Data Book, Buildings Sector, US Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building Technologies Office, 2012. n.d.). The anticipation is that Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) will support energy efficiency gains through control of the devices in an optimal fashion. New opportunities are offering the ability to integrate grid type controls and the most suitable way to perform these controls is through a multi-agent system (MAS). In this paper, approaches on supporting a HEMS and MAS integration are discussed.

“…An agent-based system is composed of multiple interacting agents, which are autonomous, self-aware, and able to communicate with each other to enable coordinated control [17]. Examples of agent-based systems for transactive control include VOLTTRON [18], OGEMA [19], and flexible power application infrastructure [20].…”

“…To avoid the thermal runaway, new semiconductor materials such as SiC or GaN have been developed . However, applications of such materials are limited by available power module packages, package agents, peripheral components and economic considerations. Moreover, persistent heat still generates in the presence of new material because multiple processing by power electronics converters before the end use.…”

The paper concerns with a high performance cooling method for a HVDC converter using fatty acid ester-based phase change dispersion (PCD) in a heat sink with double-layer oblique-crossed ribs. Thermo-physical properties of PCDs were first characterized under both solid and liquid states, and the cooling performance of the heat exchanger was then experimentally examined, by heating two copper blocks clamped closely to the aluminium heating surfaces. A threedimensional Euler-Euler multiphase approach was further performed to evaluate the thermal performance under different operating conditions including heating power, flowrate and PCD concentration. The results showed that the
