Özet

Currently, coal-, gas-, oil, and nuclear power plants are used to meet the ever increasing energy demand. Nevertheless, due to an increasing environmental awareness and entailing regulations, energy prices rise considerably. As for today, many companies try to facilitate the production and utilization of much cheaper energy from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy. However, due to constructional deficiencies, today grid infrastructures support only a small amount of renewable energy sources. To counter this problem, sophisticated control applications were designed, deciding on when and where to procure energy and safeguarding the stability of the entire grid architecture. Over the last years we have developed many smart grid applications and—due to the distributed nature of the problem solving task—we always applied multi-agent technology for this purpose. Java Intelligent Agent Component (JIAC), version five, innately provides many features indispensably re-quired for smart grid applications. In this paper, we present our experiences in successfully using JIAC framework for the smart grid applications.
