A multiagent based decentralized energy management system for power exchange minimization in microgrid cluster

This paper implements a decentralized multiagent EMS (DMA-EMS) that manages a MG cluster with fault tolerance feature. Within a single MG, a dedicated multiagent EMS that performs power dispatch with the objective of minimizing power exchange with the grid is implemented. Within the MG cluster, another dedicated EMS is implemented to share power between different MGs. Moreover, the DMA-EMS can manage active power support for the distribution feeder when needed. The implemented management system has proven its reliability and the effectiveness of the proposed management scheme in normal operation as well as in fault conditions through the multiagent JADE platform and Simulink model.
