MAS-Society<\/strong> focuses on providing effective solutions to enable the widespread of\nDistributed Energy Resources (DER), namely Renewable-Based Generation (RBG),\nDemand Response (DR), Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and Electric Vehicles (EVs),\nenabling to catch their potential to increase the overall energy efficiency and\neconomic and energetic sustainability. This is targeted through the\nimplementation of a complete simulation infrastructure that combines several\ndistinct simulators and systems directed to the study of specific problems in\nPower and Energy Systems (PES). The goal is to enable the joint simulation of\nmultiple problems, enabling studying the problem as a whole in a realistic way.\nIn this way allowing to assess the impact of different business, market and players?\nmodels in the scope of Electricity Markets (EM) and Smart Grids (SG), as well\nas analyzing the outcome from alternative
\ndecision support approaches.MAS-Society conceives and develops an ontology\nbased knowledge model that represents the domain concepts, accounting for the\nconsidered business, market and players? models. The ontology enables automatic\nreasoning to extract new knowledge. It also supports the communication between\nthe considered systems and applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the same language will enable those tools to register in a registration platform that will be developed in the project, and therefore communicate and interact with distinct agents, systems and applications. The resulting society of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) will also incorporate a set of advanced context-aware decision support models and methods that are developed in the scope of this project. This decision support is based on a strong artificial intelligence approach to enhance players? outcomes from their participation. A context analysis and definition methodology is developed, and a portfolio optimization model will support players in their decisions on which market opportunities to participate in each moment and context. The actual negotiation between players in a market environment is addressed by a machine learning approach to identify the best negotiation approaches to undertake
against each opponent. The setup of MAS-Society simulations, through the specification and control of the multiple systems, applications and algorithms that will compose the simulation platform, will be enabled through a simulations control center. This control center will include a mechanism to manage the balance between simulations efficiency\/effectiveness.
The ontology-based knowledge model will also be used to represent the concepts related to the different considered devices (e.g. energy related devices in buildings and SG), which will enable the models and methods developed by MAS-Society to be validated through the integration in a GECAD\/ISEP laboratorial platform, which will combine the simulation capabilities of the MAS society resulting from this project, with physical control of energy resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workpackages of the project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP1 Organization and management:<\/strong> WP1 will ensure the effective coordination of\nthe project, ensuring that the project objectives are achieved within the\nbudget and the time schedule using the available resources effectively. Zita\nVale, the PI, will ensure proper communication and coordination among the\ninvolved researchers and facilitate the project activities. She will coordinate\nperiodical meetings and ensure compliance with legal, ethical, and privacy\nconcerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP2 Players, business and market models and specifications: <\/strong>WP2 defines the required business,\nplayers and market models and establishes the specifications to enable the\nimplementation of the envisaged simulation environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP3 Decision support for smart grid and electricity market participation<\/strong>: This WP will conceive and develop\nontologies to represent the knowledge model to support the MAS society and\nsimulation\/emulation infrastructure to be developed in WP5 and WP6. The\nobjectives are: to represent the domain concepts, relations and properties; and\nto support the communications between the involved systems, applications,\nservices, players and devices. The domain knowledge is essential to enable a\ncommon understanding of the environment, and communications are critical to\nenable a common language for communication between all components that will be\nregistered in the registration platform (WP5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP4 Decision support for smart grid and electricity market\nparticipation: <\/strong>This\nWP conceives and develops the required decision support models and methods\nto address the gaps identified in the SotA, namely the decision support\ncontextualization; the optimization of players’ participation in multiple\nalternative\/complementary market opportunities; the analysis of competitor\nplayers’ negotiation profiles; and the intelligent adaptation of market\nnegotiation strategies. These methods will be developed according to the\nspecifications of T2.4, so that the ontologies developed in WP3 can be used to\nintegrate them in the MAS society of WP5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP5 Multi-agent systems society: <\/strong>WP5 develops a MAS society, enabling\nthe interaction between distinct systems, through their inclusion in a\nregistration platform that will make use of the ontologies developed in WP3 to\nfacilitate the communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP6 Laboratorial simulation and result analysis:<\/strong> This WP undertakes intensive\nand realistic simulation studies to test and validate, in laboratorial\nenvironment (TRL4), the multi-agent simulation platform that includes the\nmodels and methods resulting from the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP7 Communication and Dissemination:<\/strong> WP7 is devoted to the project communication\nand dissemination activities creating visibility of the project objectives and\nof the achieved results. WP7 will ensure that the knowledge and results created\nin the project are disseminated to the appropriate target audiences at a\nnational and international level (scientific community, industry, the general\npublic, and other relevant stakeholders).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
