Abstract(s)
Multi-agent approaches have been widely used to
model complex systems of distributed nature with a large
amount of interactions between the involved entities. Power
systems are a reference case, mainly due to the increasing use of
distributed energy sources, largely based on renewable sources,
which have potentiated huge changes in the power systems’
sector. Dealing with such a large scale integration of intermittent
generation sources led to the emergence of several new players,
as well as the development of new paradigms, such as the
microgrid concept, and the evolution of demand response
programs, which potentiate the active participation of
consumers. This paper presents a multi-agent based simulation
platform which models a microgrid environment, considering
several different types of simulated players. These players
interact with real physical installations, creating a realistic
simulation environment with results that can be observed
directly in the reality. A case study is presented considering
players’ responses to a demand response event, resulting in an
intelligent increase of consumption in order to face the wind
generation surplus.
