Energy management system for residential customers integrating Multi Agent Approach

The paper deals with an Energy Management System of a micro-grid feeding a community of several residential buildings. The proposed micro-grid includes a photovoltaic energy production and a storage system based on batteries. The energy management system object is to optimize the main grid energy efficiency. To ensure the concept of management decentralization, we propose in this study the integration of an Artificial Intelligence Algorithm: The Multi Agent Systems. A specific agent is dedicated to each Micro-Grid component. Physical agents using Raspberry Pi are also presented and the communication between the different agents is insured by Wi-Fi technology.The simulation results of Micro-Grid based Multi Agent Systems management are mentioned and a porotype of experimental exchange between two physical agents is also propose.
