Multiagent System-Based Event-Triggered Hybrid Controls for High-Security Hybrid Energy Generation Systems

This paper proposes multiagent system-based event-triggered hybrid controls for guaranteeing energy supply of a hybrid energy generation system with high security. First, a multiagent system is constituted by an upper level central coordinated control agent combined with several lower level unit agents. Each lower level unit agent is responsible for dealing with internal switching control and distributed dynamic regulation for its unit system. The upper level agent implements coordinated switching control to guarantee the power supply of overall system with high security. The internal switching control, distributed dynamic regulation, and coordinated switching control are designed fully dependent on the hybrid behaviors of all distributed energy resources and the logical relationships between them, and interact with each other by means of the multiagent system to form hierarchical hybrid controls. Finally, the validity of the proposed hybrid controls is demonstrated by means of simulation results in different scenarios.
