Study of Hybrid Autonomous Power System Modelling Via Multi-Agents Strategy

In this paper, a design of a Hybrid autonomous Power System is proposed and detailed. The studied system integrates several components as solar energy source, Energy Recovery system based on a proton membrane exchange fuel cell system and two energy storage components, namely, (1) Energy Storage based on H2 gas production, and (2) an Ultra-capacitor storage device. The system is controlled through an energy management Unit which aims to ensure the smooth operation system to be against any unexpected fluctuation. The modelling of the system relies on the application of a multi-agent strategy whose good effects on the performance of the system is evaluated and demonstrated by the obtained simulation results. The improvement of the system performance is proved through a comparison with the conventional strategies. The system that relies on multi-agents control approach seems to be more reliable and promising in term of effectiveness and fast response.
