Hybrid multi-agent based resilient control for EV connected micro grid system

A hybrid control strategy for the energy management of the microgrid system consisting of a number of electric vehicles and other energy sources is proposed in this paper. The main focus of this paper is on optimal control of power flow by scheduling and demand side management of energy generation system and the load by utilizing electric vehicles´ energy storage system. The features of a centralized control and distributed control are combined into the proposed hybrid control strategy to improve the efficiency and reliability of the microgrid system consisting of electric vehicle charging stations. Cost of power generation and value of load equations are presented to compute a “situational aware” power balance. Simulated results utilizing these equations are presented for a residential scale proof-of-concept system.
