Multi-Agent System Based Active Power Management in Micro-Grid

  • Unique Paper ID: 171795
  • PageNo: 1090-1099
  • Abstract:
  • Microgrid (MG) comprises of distributed generations (DGs), energy storage system and different types of loads in grid-connected or in standalone mode. Most of the distributed generations are intermittent in nature and the converters are interfaced. Also, the output power from these DGs may inject harmonic distortion, which will deteriorate the power quality. The existing controller for inverter requires optimization algorithm for every step and has complex tuning process. So as to guarantee the steadiness of the MG, the DG sources may interact with neighboring DGs via Multi-Agent System (MAS). The upper level multi-agent instigates distributed communication via consensus amid neighboring agents are for MG power management to yield a reference signal for the lower level controller. The multi-agent system in lower level employs proposed Adaptive Robust Set point Tracking, Disturbance Rejection (ARSPTDR) controller with Optimal Selective Harmonic Elimination-Pulse Width Modulation (OSHE-PWM), thereby coordinated by power management strategy. This ARSPTDR controller provides stable performance and maintains the grid stability and OSHE-PWM reduces the harmonic distortion. The proposed controller deals through the snag of existing controller. Simulation studies in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control method.
