Operation of a multiagent system for Microgrid Control
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2005Co-Authors: A. L. Dimeas, Nikolaos D. HatziargyriouAbstract:This paper presents the operation of a multiagent system (MAS) for the Control of a Microgrid. The approach presented utilizes the advantages of using the MAS technology for Controlling a Microgrid and a classical distributed algorithm based on the symmetrical assignment problem for the optimal energy exchange between the production units of the Microgrid and the local loads, as well the main grid.

Survey of multi-agent systems for Microgrid Control
Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 2015Co-Authors: Abhilash Kantamneni, Laura E. Brown, Gordon Parker, Wayne W. WeaverAbstract:Multi-agent systems (MAS) consist of multiple intelligent agents that interact to solve problems that may be beyond the capabilities of a single agent or system. For many years, conceptual MAS designs and architectures have been proposed for applications in power systems and power engineering. With the increasing use and modeling of distributed energy resources for Microgrid applications, MAS are well suited to manage the size and complexity of these energy systems. The purpose of this paper is to survey applications of MAS in the Control and operation of Microgrids. The paper will review MAS concepts, architectures, develop platforms and processes, provide example applications, and discuss limitations.

Trends in Microgrid Control
IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2014Co-Authors: Daniel E. Olivares, Moujan Kazerani, Amir H. Hajimiragha, Amir H. Etemadi, Ali Mehrizi-sani, Oriol Gomis-bellmunt, Maryam Saeedifard, Claudio A Canizares, Reza Iravani, Rodrigo Palma-behnkeAbstract:The increasing interest in integrating intermittent renewable energy sources into Microgrids presents major challenges from the viewpoints of reliable operation and Control. In this paper, the major issues and challenges in Microgrid Control are discussed, and a review of state-of-the-art Control strategies and trends is presented; a general overview of the main Control principles (e.g., droop Control, model predictive Control, multi-agent systems) is also included. The paper classifies Microgrid Control strategies into three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary, where primary and secondary levels are associated with the operation of the Microgrid itself, and tertiary level pertains to the coordinated operation of the Microgrid and the host grid. Each Control level is discussed in detail in view of the relevant existing technical literature.

A Secure Communication Architecture for Distributed Microgrid Control
IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2015Co-Authors: Velin Kounev, David Tipper, Attila A. Yavuz, Brandon M. Grainger, Gregory F. ReedAbstract:Microgrids are a key component in the evolution of the power grid. Microgrids are required to operate in both grid connected and standalone island mode using local sources of power. A major challenge in implementing Microgrids is the communications and Control to support transition from grid connected mode and operation in island mode. Here, we propose a secure communication architecture to support Microgrid operation and Control. A security model, including network, data, and attack models, is defined and a security protocol to address the real-time communication needs of Microgrids is proposed. The implementation of the proposed security scheme is discussed and its performance evaluated using theoretical and co-simulation analysis, which shows it to be superior to existing protocols.
