A multi-agent architecture for simulating and managing microgrids

With the increasing demand for electric power, new theories have been studied by the scientific community. One of the most promising consists in splitting the electric grid in microgrids, each one composed by renewable and not renewable sources and various loads. These microgrids aim to be as much autonomous as it is possible in producing the energy they need. Energy once produced must be transferred to the loads. This paper proposes a MAS used to simulate the control of the transportation grid. The system is able to react to feeders overloading and failures by redirecting the energy flow and protecting itself.
