A Proposal for a Multi-Agent based Synchronization Method for Distributed Generators in Micro-Grid Systems

Abstract

A synchronization technique based on the Multi-Agent Systems approach, is proposed for a group of Distributed Generators belonging to a Micro-Grid. The Average Time Synchronization consensus algorithm is used. A detailed description of system’s hardware architecture is given and several simulations of the dynamic are performed. Since the synchronization take place on a dedicated layer, different from the power grid one, the proposed technique does not require voltage and current measurements. This gives scalable, flexible and resilient characteristics to the system by construction.
