Power management of Renewable mix in island mode using multiagent system

Abstract

To overcome the challenges of less reliability, lack of efficient power management strategies and complex decision making a multiagent based application is proposed for smart power management and optimal sizing of renewable mix in island mode. Here paper discussed overall design concept of the system, modeling of agents models along with optimal sizing of hybrid system by applying optimization technique. LabVIEW software is appropriate for designing of multiagent architecture because of its parallel processing ability. The proposed model consists of various agents who work together for maintaining proper power management of the system. The methodology was constructed by using meteorological data from Renewable Energy laboratory of Electrical Engineering department, MANIT Bhopal situated in Madhya Pradesh, India. Optimal sizing of IHRES is done on the basis of solar irradiation, wind speed, demand load, reliability index and CO2 emission through diesel generator. Economic aspects of hybrid system and the overall performance can be improved by adopting the proposed method.
