Figure 3. Six hours of energy consumption for agent 26: (a) energy price and (b) consumption. The optimization process lets the agent control the consumer’s consumption so that it doesn’t exceed the established limit. 
Figure 1. Architecture of communication between agents. The Multi-Agent Smart Grid simulation Platform (MASGriP) interacts with the Multi-Agent Simulator of Competitive Electricity Markets (MASCEM). In this way, it’s possible to model the power system operation in the competitive electricity market context, including small and large generation and consumption players’ behavior.
