Outline of Final Research Achievements

The distributed energy management systems consist of rechargeable batteries, renewable energy and generators are an attractive approach to realize advanced energy management. However, the problems how to control unstable energy generation and unpredictable change in the environment are still remained. To solve these problems, we propose an auction based method for cooperation between individual microgrid based on the notion heterarchy. As an auction model, we choose the double auction model and modified the time transition scheme according to the notion of heterarchy. As a result, the model with heterarchical time transition scheme shows intermittent behavior. It implies the heterarchical cooperation system for microgrids have the capability of adapting to drastic environmental change by using its flexibility cased from the diversity. The model can support the robust functionality for agent-based distributed energy systems.
