 Problem Statement

Development of specialized Microgrid with multiagent system named IDAPS, to

coordinate and capture the rapid growing Distributed Energy Resources owned by
customers plus Supply-Driven-Demand strategy implementation.
 IDAPS consist of collection of Agents like Load Agent, Distributed Energy
Resource (DER) Agent and Control Agent etc. ,each with its own problem-
solving capabilities and the ability to interact to reach an overall goal
 Power management system employed is Supply-Driven-Demand instead of
Demand-Driven-Supply
 The concept of the supply-driven-demand is that Supplier will offer electricity
to end-use customers who will make decision whether to buy electricity or not
for their deferrable demand.
 Aim and Objectives

 Coordination of rapid growing DERs to secure critical load.

 Management of DERs and load with a concept of Supply
Driven Demand
 Automation of Microgrid with agent technology
 Effective use of DERs with agent base technology
 Creation of wholesale market by creating coordination
between DER owners.
 Promotion of the use of green power.

 Development of Microgrid Based PV Restoration
Incorporating the Demand Response

This report stated that:

► A Microgrid can be operating in two modes which are grid-connected
mode and island mode.
► . In grid-connected mode, the Microgrid is connected to the main grid.
► When the Main grid is connected to the Microgrid, its excess power is
supplied to the main grid and in the event that the demand surpasses
the power being generated at a certain time, the extra power is
provided by the main grid.
► . Under grid-connected mode, the frequency and voltage magnitude of
the microgrid must be synchronizing with the main grid.
► The operation in island mode must fulfilled two most important
requirement which is good power balance between generation and
consumption, and a proper control of the main parameter of the
microgrid such as voltage magnitude and frequency.

Aleks Dimitrov ski, Yan Xu Tom King, Leon Tolbert “Microgrid
Protection and Control Technology ” Workshop

 This workshop is based on micro grid evolution from a simple dc system to

multiple dc & ac in a single power system

 Tells about Micro grid System Control and control management. About Micro Grid
Requirements. Operation under Islanding Detection & Transition Operation Modes.

 This study is based on micro grid operation in both islanded and grid-connected
modes.

 This effort resulted in the intelligent distributed autonomous power grid that could
facilitate the use of renewable energy technologies, thereby minimizing reliance on
external energy resources.

 The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed IDAPS Microgrid allowed
various DER sources, including renewables, to network and collaborate in an
efficient manner.
“Design and Implementation of Multiagent System in IDAPS
Microgrid for Optimal Load Scheduling Network”

In this research paper :

 JADE (Java Agent Development Environment) is defined to be the platform
for design and implementation of Multiagent system consisting of three
components.
 Functions of different agents have also been discussed.
 Control agent monitors load current and power and tripping of main circuit
breaker during emergency conditions as well as organizes all agents.
 DER agent monitors and controls DER power levels and responds according
to messages of control agent.
 Load agent has information of users/loads as per user power consumption and
load number unit.
Project ‘’Modeling and Simulation of a Distributed Generation-
Integrated Intelligent Microgrid’’.

 Dr.Saifur Rahman Virginia Tech - Advanced Research Institute and his team
made this project
 The objective of this project was to model and simulate a specialized
Microgrid called an Intelligent Distributed Autonomous Power System
(IDAPS).
 An IDAPS Microgrid consists of hardware as well as software systems.
 Upon completion of this design work, the research team simulated several
scenarios and evaluated the IDAPS Microgrid in both parallel and islanded
operations.
 This project achieved its objective by illustrating that the IDAPS Microgrid
could:
 Successfully manage electricity demand during normal operating conditions
 Island microgrid from main grid once an upstream fault or interruption in
power supply is detected
 Secure critical loads and shed non-critical loads according to the installation’s
priority list during emergencies
 Resynchronize the Microgrid to the main grid after an upstream fault is cleared
