    Abstract: The present invention deals with microgrids, which represent a new approach to integrate distributed energy resources economically reliably and efficiently. A microgrid can operate in a connected mode if it makes an energetic exchange with a main grid or in an island mode otherwise. In its island operation mode, a microgrid ensures its energy self-sufficiency. However, the availability of resources in this mode is greatly influenced by meteorological factors and the microgrid must satisfy the high requirements on intelligent power management in order to achieve high availability of energy. The present invention provides a multi-agent control system based on the production forecasting and loads shedding for high availability of the microgrid power supply.
