MAS architecture for energy management: Developing smart networks with JADE platform
Résumé
This paper contributes to the design of intelligent electrical network system. A distributed management and control approach, realized through the Multi Agent Systems (MAS) technology, is proposed for Smart Electrical network, due to the MAS advantages: scalability, openness, reliability and communications efficiency. Each agent is embedded into a principal actor and cooperates and coordinates its actions in order to find acceptable near optimal solution. This system proposes multi-level control architecture composed of two main complementary mechanisms: adjustment and anticipative. This paper details the anticipation level that computes the best future set-points according to energy needs and production capacity. These set points are then adjusted in real time by the adjustment mechanism. The platform JADE is used in order to simulate the behavior of the different network actors.
