Abstract

In smart grids many business cases of fair electricity transaction have been creating. However, the existing methods of agent-based control and event-based control can not always guarantee an optimized power flow in the electric power distribution networks, if there are renewable energy resources and fluctuated loads. Therefore, a virtual agent is introduced in the server of smart grids, to enhance the method of power system management. The evaluation results prove that the presented method in this paper can optimize the power flow in smart grids.
