•A multi-agent system was designed for the battery charging management of electric vehicles.•The real-time operation of the agent-based control system was demonstrated experimentally.•Electric vehicles were managed according to electricity prices and network constraints.•Electric vehicles provided active demand services.
An agent-based control system that manages the battery charging of electric vehicles in power distribution networks is presented. The electric vehicle battery charging schedules are calculated according to electricity prices and distribution network technical constraints. The design of the multi-agent system is described. The real-time operation of the multi-agent system was demonstrated in a test-bed of a laboratory micro-grid.
