Abstract
The paper presents an application of an auction algorithm in a computer multi-agent system for managing the unbalanced energy in a microgrid. The main goal of the system is to control and minimize the differences between the current energy demand and the actual energy production, using an auction algorithm. The assumption of distributed generations in the microgrid, which includes renewable power sources, is made. The storages, and the controllable power sources improve the system operation. The differences between the actual demand and generated energy are caused by unpredictable level of electric power generation by uncontrolled sources (mainly wind turbines and solar panels) and/or randomness of power utilization. The system will tend to balance these differences on-line in short time intervals (about one minute) to follow-up the varying level of local power generation and loads.
