%X Microgrids
are revolutionary power systems that interconnect a mix of re</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">newable power generation, load, storage systems,
and inverters in a sm</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">all-scale grid network. Operating microgrids while
maintaining a consistent grid voltage and frequency during the islanding and
disruption of renewables has been a challenging research problem. In this
paper, a preliminary microgrid agent implementation is presented using SPADE
(Smart Python Agent Deve</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">lopment Environment)
as a powerful development framework that ha</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s be</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">en used extensively in many application domains. Agents autonomo</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">usly
managed and operated microgrid individual components. A multiagent microgrid
system was modeled to seamlessly operate and optimize energy bal</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ance by coordinating the actions of agents. Agents
were built to forec</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ast energy d</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">emand
and solar power and coordinate to balance generation with loa</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">d </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">while maintaining optimal power flow and adequate
network voltage an</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">d frequency.
