Abstract

The increasing demand for energy and the availability of several solutions of renewable energy sources has stimulated the formulation of plans aiming at expanding and upgrading existing power grids in several countries. According to NIST, smart grid will be one of the greatest achievements of the 21st century. By linking information technologies with the electric power grid to provide electricity with a brain, the smart grid promises many benefits, including increased energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and improved power reliability. In this paper we present an agent based architecture for supporting collection and processing of information about local energy production and storage resources of neighborhoods of individual houses and to schedule the energy flows using negotiation protocols.
