Abstract
This paper illustrates how the multi-agent approach, or paradigm, can help in the modeling and the simulation of smart grids in the context of MS4SG (a joint project between LORIA-INRIA and EDF R&D). Smart grids simulations need to integrate together pre-existing and heterogeneous models and their simulation software; for example modeling tools of the power grids, of telecommunication networks, and of the information and decision systems. This paper describes the use of MECSYCO as a valid approach to integrate these heterogeneous models in a multi-agent smart grid simulation platform. Several use cases show the ability of MECSYCO to effectively take into account the requirements of smart grids simulation in MS4SG.
