Abstract

Smart grid systems have been actively discussed to realize a sustainable and a low-carbon society that efficiently consumes electric power and to introduce photovoltaic power generation, i.e., renewable energy or electric vehicles. In this study, we focus on the smart meter system based on an agent model to manage electric power use in residential homes with which solar panels and a storage battery are equipped. We evaluated the system for one month during weather changing patterns.
