Multi-agent Model for Domotics and Smart Houses

Most of the demand-side management programs focus on the interactions between an aggregator and its users. Moreover, renewable energy production being irregular, increasing their number implies to predict consumption and energy storage or discharge in real time. This is why the consumption patterns of every device connected to the grid must be organized in order to optimize the global consumption of the grid. Studying the smart grid through modeling and simulation provides us with valuable results which cannot be obtained in the real world due to time and cost related constraints. In this paper, we focus on a multi-agent model to simulate a microgrid and domotics through automaton and energy consumption scheduling.
