Abstract
The application of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in electrical power systems are becoming popular due to their inherent benefits such as increased autonomy, reactivity, proactivity and social ability. This paper reviews current research on the application of multi-agent systems in microgrid schemes. The paper is mainly focused on recent developments of multi-agent systems in different aspects of microgrids such as control, market modeling, optimization and power restoration. The future directions of multi-agent systems in microgrid applications are also discussed briefly. Furthermore, this review is concluded by discussing the development of an enhanced multi-agent based distributed control framework for microgrids.Keywords
