A Multiagent Approach for Modeling Power-Supply Systems with MicroGrid

Abstract

In this paper, we simulate power-supply systems with the distributed generation at nominal modes using a multiagent approach. To solve the set tasks, modeling methods were used in the LabVIEW software package, which is focused on operating with virtual devices and agents presented as autonomous computer programs, the interaction between which can be applied in practice within the framework of the notion of a MicroGrid and digital substations. The main goal of implementing this approach is to ensure self-tuning of the system in the event of network reconfiguration. To estimate its performance, a model of a gas-turbine power plant employed for utilization of an associated gas was developed. Based on the known calculation methods and equivalent circuits, the efficiency of the industry with the same equipment increases due to the optimization of equipment control processes and an increase in the efficiency of interaction between electrical and technological processes.
