Abstract :
With the share of distributed energy resources and renewable energy source (DER/RES) rapidly increasing in the electricity grid, a new way of coordination is required to look after the interests of all the stakeholders. The PowerMatcher multi-agent coordination concept has been demonstrated in two relatively small field tests, in which a single optimisation goal was achieved. Currently, a new field test is designed to test the PowerMatcher concept, where it coordinates up to one hundred DER/RES devices in approximately thirty households, with different stakeholders and multiple (potentially conflicting) optimisation goals involved.
