A multi-agent based hierarchical control system for DERs management in islanded micro-grid

A multi-agent based hierarchical control system is proposed in this paper for distributed energy resources (DERs) management in an islanded micro-grid, which consists of lumped loads, storage devices and distributed generations. The coordination and interaction process between different agents are given, and the scheduling Strategy of the micro-grid central controller (MGCC) Agent is developed. Thereafter, the system implementation platform is constructed, which combines JADE, SIMULIN. Results from simulation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of implementing multi-agent based hierarchical control system for DERs management in islanded micro-grid.
