A Multiagent System for Microgrid Operation in the Grid-interconnected Mode

Abstract – This paper presents a multiagent system for microgrid operation in the grid-interconnected mode. An energy market environment with generation competition is adopted for microgrid operation in order to guarantee autonomous participation and meet the requirements of participants in the micro-grid. The modified Contract Net Protocol (CNP) is used as a protocol for interactions among agents. The multiagent system for microgrid operation based on the modified CNP and the energy market en-vironment is designed and implemented. To verify the feasibility of the suggested multiagent system, experiments on three operation conditions are carried out
