- Application of Internet of Things (IoT) and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS): The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is transforming traditional power distribution into intelligent, adaptive, and interactive smart distribution systems. IoT enables seamless real-time sensing, data acquisition, and remote control of distribution network components, while MAS facilitates decentralized decision-making, autonomous coordination, and system resilience. Together, they enable key functionalities such as self-healing, dynamic load balancing, distributed energy integration, demand-side management, and fault detection and isolation. This approach enhances the efficiency, reliability, and flexibility of modern power distribution systems, aligning with the goals of smart grid development and future-proof energy infrastructure.
- Energy Management System for Microgrids, Smart Homes, and Buildings: This research focuses on the development of an intelligent Energy Management System (EMS) tailored for microgrids, smart homes, and energy-efficient buildings. Leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) for real-time monitoring and control, and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) for decentralized decision-making, the EMS enables autonomous, adaptive, and scalable management of distributed energy resources (DERs), storage, and loads. The integration of IoT and MAS facilitates seamless coordination between devices and systems, enhancing energy efficiency, reliability, and user participation. This work contributes to the realization of sustainable, resilient, and intelligent energy infrastructures aligned with smart city initiatives.
- Agent Learning in Multi-Agent Systems for Microgrid Management: Agent learning in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) enables intelligent and decentralized control for effective microgrid management. In this architecture, each agent represents a distributed energy resource, storage unit, load, or grid interface and operates autonomously while collaborating with other agents to achieve system-wide optimization. Through reinforcement learning and adaptive control, agents learn from real-time data to make decisions on energy scheduling, load management, and balancing supply and demand. This decentralized approach increases the resilience of the microgrid by allowing agents to detect faults, reconfigure operations, and maintain service continuity during disruptions. Agents also adapt to changes in user behavior, energy prices, and environmental conditions, ensuring economic and operational efficiency. When integrated with IoT and sensor networks, agent learning further enhances responsiveness and performance, transforming microgrids into flexible, autonomous, and intelligent energy ecosystems.
Electric Vehicle Management and Charging Stations
Electric Vehicle Management and Charging Stations
Electric vehicle (EV) management and charging stations are foundational elements of smart and sustainable mobility ecosystems. These systems integrate IoT, intelligent control, and learning-enabled multi-agent technologies to optimize EV charging operations in real time. A key feature is the use of locational marginal pricing (LMP) to calculate charging costs based on real-time electricity market dynamics, including local generation costs, transmission constraints, and congestion levels. Pricing is automatically adjusted and communicated to users through mobile apps and vehicle dashboards, supporting cost transparency and demand-side participation.

Decentralized Forecasting of Electricity in Smart Grids
Decentralized Forecasting of Electricity in Smart Grids
Decentralized forecasting is a transformative approach for modern smart grids, where predictive intelligence is distributed across edge devices and local subsystems rather than concentrated in a central authority. This paradigm enables smart homes, solar panels, electric vehicles (EVs), microgrids, and other distributed energy resources (DERs) to autonomously forecast electricity demand and generation using localized data.
