Abstract
The objective of this paper is to develop a model for distributed automation of micro-grid using Multi Agent System(MAS) for the advanced control and distributed energy management of a solar micro-grid. A grid connected solar micro-grid model, which contains two solar Photo Voltaic (PV) systems, one in department and other in hostel, each contains a local consumer, a solar PV system and a battery, is modelled in Simulink. Due to unstable nature of MATLAB, when dealing with multi threading environment, MAS operating in Java Agent Development Environment(JADE) is linked with the MATLAB using a middleware, Multi Agent Control using Simulink with Jade extension (MACSimJX). MACSimJX allows the solar micro-grid system designed with MATLAB to be controlled by solar micro-grid agents for realizing the advantages of decentralized approach of MAS. All the agents of solar micro-grid components are programmed in JADE and the results of the coordinated action of these agents are sent to the environment for distributed control and automation of the hardware. JADE leverages the advantage of MAS by its inherent features and hence the operational efficiency of solar micro-grid is further increased. Also the power exchange between main grid and solar micro-grid is optimized by effective demand side management. Simulation is designed to evaluate impact of autonomous operations of agents.

A Simulink solar micro-grid model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink and it is linked with JADE using MACSimJX for realizing the practical implementation of MAS in dynamic energy management and demand side management of solar micro-grid, to achieve the lowest possible cost under intermittent nature of solar power and randomness of load. The proposed framework gives the intelligent consumer the ability to explore all possible logical sequences of options, understand the stochastic environment, and select the optimal energy management actions autonomously to increase operational efficiency in a distributed environment, bringing MAS closure to real-time implementation. The limitation of this approach is, it is very difficult to evaluate the information management functionality of the system. Future work will focus on extension to multiple agents integrating diverse renewable generators (solar and wind) with several intelligent consumers with conflicting requirements. Furthermore, the proposed approach can be implemented in actual micro-grids by sending the command signals from MACSimJX through the communication network interface and Internet Of Things (IOT) technology.
