The usage of renewable energy systems increases worldwide due to extinction of conventional sources and also the absence of some serious environmental effects such as global warming, ozone layer depletion etc. These renewable power systems are not able to satisfy the load continuously due to seasonal availability of the resources. A Hybrid Power System (HPS) formed with renewable energy sources are a solution to provide power for stand-alone electrical loads. However, the energy management in HPS is quite complex as it relies on a central controller. This paper proposes a distributed Energy Management System (EMS) to control the energy flow in the PV/Wind/Fuel Cell/Battery HPS based on multi-agent system (MAS) technology. With this concept, a HPS is seen as a collection of different elements called agents, collaborates to reach a global coordination to satisfy the demand in the system. The Algorithm of the Multi-Agent System technique for HPS has been implemented using MATLAB/Simulink environment. The results show that the algorithm is effectively working for a HPS to provide power to the load and control power flow between various elements of the system.

Renewable energy generation (Wind, solar …) is rising rapidly around the world. Energy storage is being today realistic with some kind of variable renewable electricity sources such as the Pumped Hydraulic Storage (PHS). The incorporation of the PHS requires different policies since there are a variety of electric generation technologies that can be exploited commonly with the PHS. The energy management system, the scheduling of the generation units is a crucial problem for which adequate solutions can optimize the energy supply. This paper focuses on the applicability of the PHS technology in the development of renewable energy generation in Tunisia. This paper proposes also a multi agent system that can be implemented to simulate the exploitation of the PHS, commonly with other energy sources: conventional energy, wind energy, photovoltaic energy etc.

<p><span>The utilization of multisources of energy in a compact and an effective power system gains an essential role in power electronic industry. As such, the design and simulation of a new non-isolated Multiple Input Multilevel Output (MIMLO) DC-DC converter for hybrid power system is presented. The MIMLO DC-DC converter can be integrated in renewable energy, such as fuel cells, wind turbines and photovoltaic arrays etc, to get the best output voltages. The MIMLO DC-DC converter powers the load from renewable energy sources through the independence of the availability of other sources. The proposed topology has been simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink software to testify the performance control operation of the Multiple Input Multilevel Output DC-DC converter. The results of the carried-out simulation favor the usage of multi-input voltage, rather than a single input voltage. The MIMLO design has the advantages of a simple configuration, reduced number of switches, fewer components, high efficiency, and high conversion ratio. The Multilevel Output DC-DC converter provides high voltage transfer with low size inductors, reduction of losses, low stress voltage on switches and diodes. </span></p>
