Abstract :
Simulation of home use of electric energy is a very powerful tool for the purpose of studying, planning and managing at electric energy distribution companies. This paper presents a NetLogo-based multi-agent system for energy consumption simulation in residential areas. Several possible consumers profiles and household appliances with different powers are modeled and simulated using computational agents. Seven distinct profiles of possible behaviors of consumers and household appliances with different powers are modeled and simulated using computational agents.
