Colored Petri Nets Modeling of Multi-agent System for Energy Management in Distributed Renewable Energy Generation System

This paper focuses on modeling a multi-agent system for energy management of distributed renewable energy generation system by means of Colored Petri Nets. It contributes to solve the energy crisis by developing distributed renewable energy (DRE)sources. After introducing the basic DRE energy management and Petri Nets concepts, the paper discusses the necessity and feasibility of modeling this energy management multi-agent system by Petri Nets for debugging and testing the non-deterministic of the system. Then, the cooperation and optimization process among the agents is modeled by the Colored Petri Nets (CPN) tools developed. Finally, the paper presents the simulation and results. The results show that the Colored Petri Nets Model provides an effective simulation environment and enhances the energy management system.
