This paper introduces an innovative conceptual framework for an Energy Internet of Things (eIoT) platform designed to address challenges related to grid congestion, voltage limit violations, and the growing demands on low-voltage grids due to increased electrification in the energy and heating sectors. The proposed platform seamlessly integrates cu...
The demands on electrical distribution grids are increasing significantly due to the rising number of powerful consumers and decentralized generation plants. These growing demands lead to local grid bottlenecks that cannot be resolved through centralized markets alone, requiring the development of new market concepts [1]. Local trading platforms en...
Addressing the trends of digitalization, decentralization, democratization, and decarbonization, local peer-to-peer (P2P) markets have the potential to significantly accelerate decarbonization at the communal level. However, due to an increase in the number of energy consumers, such as electric vehicles or heat pumps, grid congestion can occur sinc...
To control the high amount of decentral generation and consumption, decentralized energy control approaches are necessary to handle computational power re-strictions, robustness requirements and provide scalabil-ity. For this, structures like microgrids are under devel-opment, where energy systems can be controlled decen-trally, using decentral opt...
This paper focuses on agent-based local peer-to-peer flexibility markets with congestion management from a DSO-perspective. Technical key performance indicators are defined to validate the application of flexibility markets. A simulation is performed, evaluating the state of a low-voltage grid in two setups, with and without a flexibility market. T...

In this contribution, the experiences and results from the tests under real field conditions are described, which are concerned with grid automation systems in the research project Agent.HyGrid. Furthermore, the deployment of the grid automation system in a real-world distribution grid is discussed.
This poster presents the basic concept of our third party control algorithm.
Active network management (ANM) is a promising approach to cope with the proliferation of distributed generation from renewables. The distribution system operator (DSO) can utilize its own assets in this regard, e.g. by installing remotely controllable on load tap changer transformers. Additionally, the DSO can incorporate distributed energy resour...
This work introduces the concept of testbed application of energy agents, which is the intermediate step between testing agents in pure simulation environment and deploying them in real energy distribution systems. In the testbed application case, the energy agent is taken from the simulation environment and deployed to dedicated hardware, where it...
The liberalization of the energy markets, together with the ongoing energy transition, require new solutions for a flexible and adaptable energy supply infrastructure. The smart grid, i.e. equipping existing energy grids with modern information and communi-cation technology, is regarded as a key enabler to handle this challenge. With the con-cepts...
In recent years, several developments in the energy sector have been imposing major challenges on our energy supply infrastructure. Due to the liberalization of the energy markets that started in the 1990s, longstanding monopolies are being broken up and new actors enter the stage. An increasing awareness regarding the environmental impacts of foss...

The current transformation process of how energy is supplied attracts great interest from many different market players. As a consequence, many proprietary solutions for ``smart'' energy applications are flooding the market. This turns out to be rather a problem than part of the solution for the systematic development of future energy grids. Additi...
As a result of fast growing share of renewable energy production in the energy market the management of power and its distribution becomes more and more complex. The here presented Energy Option Model (EOM) seems to be a promising solution to handle this newly arisen complexity. This paper will present the EOM and analyze its capabilities in centra...
Due to a high penetration by renewables and a strong trend towards decentralization, future energy grids exhibit an increasingly emergent behavior. As a consequence new engineering approaches, based on decentralized decision making, have been proposed. The Agent.HyGrid project provides a framework for the design, development and testing of energy i...
This chapter presents a novel approach to dynamic resource allocation in hybrid energy grid scenarios, called energy-agents. This concept allows the easy control of inter-domain energy exchanges, such as heat generation from electricity or gas, the production of gas from electricity, or vice versa, based on the first law of thermodynamics. In a fir...

The need for the application of software agents and agent-technologies in highly diversified future energy grids is widely accepted today. Nevertheless, the very general concept of the agent paradigm still leads to misunderstandings and to the fact that agents are meant and utilized for very different tasks. Accordingly, the approaches that were pr...
Das Paradigma des Agenten findet zunehmend Anwendung in hochdynamischen und komplexen Bereichen, welche koordinierte oder koordinierende Prozesse erfordern. In diesem Beitrag werden neue Anforderungen an die Systeme der Energieversorgung und des Netzbetriebes vorgestellt und diskutiert, inwieweit das Agenten-Paradigma diesen gerecht werden kann.
The conversion of our energy supply systems is practically just at the beginning. Technically distributed, hybrid and individual energy producer and consumer have to be coupled to form individual small(er) smart markets. Thus, it can be expected that the interactions and dependencies between technical and economical systems will increase. A sound u...
The objective of service-oriented computing SOC is to construct software applications out of appropriate services available and executing in place anywhere across the Web. To achieve this objective requires that techniques for discovering and engaging services be developed and used across the lifetime of the service-based applications. Succeeding w...
In many countries, future energy supply, management, and consumption change completely compared to today's status. One reason is that sustainable energy production will rely on a large number of small and medium sized, decentralized energy production units. The aim is to replace a small number of large power plants. The energy supply strategy chang...
