A Multi-Agent Energy Coordination Control Strategy in Microgrid Island Mode

In order to efficiently dispatch power between generators and loads in microgrid within a noncooperative environment, this chapter presents an energy coordination control strategy based on multi-agent system (multi-agent system, MAS) under the island mode. Considering distributed generation interests, each agent with its own mechanism for decision making interacts and collaborates to achieve the overall goal of the system. Mentality of MAS framework designing, typical distributed generation agent and load agent models, energy coordination control strategy based on priority list, and the dominant agent algorithm are proposed. An example of a particular microgrid is utilized to discuss the agent behavior characteristics and the reliability of energy coordination strategy. Results verify that the proposed method can dispatch energy flexibly in real time and ensure stable and economical operation of microgrid.
