Multi-Agent Based Responsive Residential DR for Managing and Trading Power in Smart Distribution Networks

HM Manjunatha, G.K. Purushothama

Abstract


In this paper, a MEMF, consisting of a MAS and a grid-tied Microgrid is proposed for trading and managing power in automated DNs. In addition, the framework effectively utilizes DR potential by enabling customers to participate in multiple DR options. The game theoretic analysis based double auction energy trading mechanism is modified, and is used in different DR options. The control over DR participation is provided to the customers rather than to the aggregator. A modification is proposed to the generally used incentive policy which assures more benefit to the customers. In the proposed framework, both MAS and grid-tied microgrid DN are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results on the test system are presented for illustrating the effectiveness of the trading mechanism and the improvements in the benefits with respect to the earlier results in this field.
