Abstract

A microgrid is composed of distributed power generation systems (DGs), distributed energy storage devices (DSs), and loads. To maintain a specific frequency in the island mode as an important requirement, the control of DGs output and charge action of DGs are used in supply surplus conditions and load-shedding and discharge action of DGs are used in supply shortage conditions. Recently, multiagent systems (MAS) for autonomous microgrid operation have been studied. Especially, load-shedding, which is intentional reduction of electricity use, is a critical problem in islanded microgrid operation based on the MAS. Therefore, effective schemes for load-shedding are required. A novel optimization algorithm called ICA has been used to optimize this load shedding procedure.
