Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present an agents-based methodology that allows for the creation and optimization of schedule while taking into account a wide range of constraints or preferences. When some smart households benefit from a common energy source, if the available power is limited, the problem to be solved for improving energy efficiency is how to program the power-on time of the peripherals according to the power limits and taking into account the preferences of the users. The proposed operating system was developed as multi-agent systems (MAS) on the JADE platform. The implementation is discussed by describing in detail each agent and the control algorithm. In addition, complementary metrics are proposed, to evaluate the performance of the planning method. Finally, to illustrate the proposed method, some simulation results are presented.
