The inaccurate prediction of solar irradiance, wind speed and demand load may significantly influence
the operation of micro-grids. This condition causes unbalances between generation and load that lead to
variations in DC and AC bus voltages, and may affect system stability. A multi-agent system (MAS) is
proposed in this study to achieve optimal energy management for voltage regulation and to enhance the
stability of a system under different weather conditions and load perturbations for two connected microgrids.
Optimum operation is achieved through two stages. The first stage is the optimum day-ahead
energy from each source based on historical data. The second stage is implemented to maintain the
balance between generation and load by considering economic operation during real-time operation.
This stage can be realized by controlling converters related to each source in both micro-grids. Different
scenarios are presented to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed MAS. The simulation results
demonstrate that the performance of the proposed energy management system is efficient. |
