Abstract
Decentralized control schemes for microgrids and local energy communities is of interest since the burden on the central unit is reduced. Among decentralized schemes, Multi Agent System (MAS) enables the active participation of customers by ensuring the optimal grid operation. Moreover, to full exploit the microgrid potential tailored market mechanisms have to be devised for energy transactions and for the provision of network services. Blockchain-based market platforms have features which can be intertwined with a decentralised control; however, the proof of concept has to be provided by tools able for handling the complexity of this joined framework. With this aim, this paper proposes a simulation framework for investigating microgrids controlled by a MAS and equipped with a Blockchain market platform. A case study concerning a microgrid in which electric-vehicle charging stations participate to the service market is investigated.Publisher
