Abstract

This paper presents a distributed energy management strategy based on a combination of multi agent system (MAS) and fuzzy logic (FL). Our system is composed of two renewable energy sources which are a photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, storage system and a variable loads. These elements are linked between them through switches. This improved technique allows the control of switches to manage the energy flow between sources and established load priority. MAS consider each element of the system as an agent, one of them is called execution agent that controls switches based on the paradigm of fuzzy logic (FL). The results of this approach are presented, discussed then followed by a simulation.
