Abstract(s)

The new power system paradigm demands a more active end-consumer participation in smart grids environment. To achieve this participation, new demand side management solutions should be developed and analyzed. Moreover, the massive dis- semination of internet of things devices inside buildings are a reality in nowadays. This paper proposes a multi-agent system for microgrid representation that integrates internet of thing devices to boost the energy management in today's buildings. The paper will present the proposed multi-agent system as well as an environmental awareness smart plug. The case study in this paper will present the data acquisition from a real building using a combination of market internet of things smart plugs, the proposed environmental awareness smart plug and a load emulator.
