Abstract :
This paper consist in the establishment of a virtual producer/consumer agent (VPCA) in order to optimize the integrated management of distributed energy resources and to improve and control demand side management (DSM) and its aggregated loads. The paper presents the VPCA architecture and the proposed function-based organization to be used in order to coordinate the several generation technologies, the different load types and storage systems. This VPCA organization uses a frame work based on data mining techniques to characterize the costumers. The paper includes results of several experimental tests cases, using real data and taking into account electricity generation resources as well as consumption data.
