Abstract

Microgrids help to achieve power balance and energy allocation optimality for the defined load networks. In this paper, the focus is to enhance the intelligence of the microgrid network using a multi-agent system and validation is using network performance metrics such as delay, throughput and jitter. Network performance is analyzed for the medium-scale microgrid using two IEEE test systems, i.e., IEEE 34 and IEEE 39. In this paper, Bellman–Ford algorithm is incorporated to calculate the shortest path to a given destination. The algorithm is defined for the distributed nature of the microgrid. From this model, researchers have achieved up to 30% improvement in the network performance of a microgrid.
