A Self-configurable Agent-Based System for Intelligent Storage in Smart Grid

  • Conference paper
Highlights on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS 2013)

Abstract

Next generation of smart grid technologies demand intelligent capabilities for communication, interaction, monitoring, storage, and energy transmission. Multiagent systems are envisioned to provide autonomic and adaptability features to these systems in order to gain advantage in their current environments. In this paper we present a mechanism for providing distributed energy storage systems (DESSs) with intelligent capabilities. In more detail, we propose a self-configurable mechanism which allows a DESS to adapt itself according to the future environmental requirements. This mechanism is aimed at reducing the costs at which electricity is purchased from the market.
