Agent based micro grid management system

This paper describes a micro grid management system developed using agent based technologies and its application to the effective management of generation and storage devices connected to a LV network forming a micro grid. The micro grid is defined as a set of generation, storage and load systems electrically connected and complemented by a communication system to enable control actions and follow up surveillance. The effectiveness of the proposed architecture has been tested on laboratory facilities under different micro grid configurations. The performance and scalability issues related to the agent framework have also been considered and verified
