1. Modeling and application of wind-solar energy hybrid power generation system based on multi-agent technology

Abstract

Agent technology is further development of artificial intelligence (AI). Multi-agent system is an agent society made up of several agents. By the collaboration of multi-agent, it can optimize control system and enhance its intelligence and reliability. Wind and solar energy hybrid power generation is a novel and promising power system. Randomicity and complexity of the climate make wind and solar hybrid power generation system a complicated system. In this paper, we first introduce advanced agent technology into wind and solar energy hybrid power generation system, establish the wind and solar energy hybrid power generation multi-agent system (WSHGMAS) and analyze multi agents' collaboration relationship. At last, by the agent' application in WSHGMAS, it can realize sea-island, remote region, unmanned operation' wind-solar energy hybrid power generation system and enhance power system' intelligence and reliability.

ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of the activities of the Solar Energy Grid Integration Systems (SEGIS) program from “Conceptual Designs and Market Analysis; Stage 1” through the “Prototype Development; Stage 2”. Work has progressed with twelve contractors completing the Stage 1 conceptual designs and market analysis. Downsizing through best value competition resulted in hardware prototypes developed by five contractors. The contractors include: 1) Apollo Solar; 2) Petra Solar; 3) Princeton Power Systems; 4) PV Powered; 5) University of Central Florida working with SatCon. The projects span system sizes from micro-inverters (200W) through residential and commercial sizes up to 100kW, but modularity enables larger applications. This SEGIS R&D opens pathways for promising solutions for new electronic and electrical components, advanced innovative inverter/controller topologies and designs, economical energy management systems, innovative energy storage with a suite of advanced control algorithms, new islanding detection methodologies, advanced maximum-power-point tracking suited for all PV technologies, protocols and the associated communications.[1] In addition to advanced grid interconnection capabilities and “value added” features, the new hardware designs result in smaller, less material-intensive, and higher reliability products. The solutions enabled by deployed SEGIS systems will drive the “advanced integrated system” and “smart grid” evolutionary processes forward in a faster and focused manner.[2] Technical advances and economic benefits are assessed and discussed.
