Abstract

The transition towards an electricity grid based on renewable energy production induces fluctuation in electricity generation. This challenges the existing electricity grid design, where generation is expected to follow demand for electricity. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent based Virtual Power Plant design that is able to balance the demand of energy-intensive, industrial loads with the supply situation in the electricity grid. The proposed Virtual Power Plant design uses a novel inter-agent, multi-objective, multi-issue negotiation mechanism, to coordinate the electricity demands of industrial loads. Coordination happens in response to Demand Response events, while considering local objectives in the industrial domain. We illustrate the applicability of our approach on a Virtual Power Plant scenario with three simulated greenhouses. The results suggest that the proposed design is able to coordinate the electricity demands of industrial loads, in compliance with external Demand Response events.
