Conference paper
This paper proposes a Multi-Agent System (MAS)
modeling and control architecture for a solar driven DC
microgrid. The microgrid consists of solar system as a source of
power, energy storage system, critical and non-critical houses
(loads) with their own solar and storage as well. For the proposed
MAS an individual house can have the ability to sell extra power
to the main solar source. The main solar source can generate
power and provide to the community when needed. The MAS
also controls and monitors an automatic load shedding technique
to disconnect non critical loads when there is a deficiency of
power supply to the system. The validity of the objectives are
demonstrated by agent based system which runs under REPAST
simulation tool which used successfully three loads: hospital and
two houses during simulation
