The microgrid systems include distributed energy resources such as photovoltaic systems, wind energy conversion systems, and synchronous generators, energy storage devices, and loads. In order to achieve a smooth operation of all these resources and energy sutainability, a proper control mechanism is needed that considers elements of the system and optimization goals. In this control mechanism, each unit's situation is important and therefore, a communication system within the microgrid must be established. Thanks to this communication, units are aware of each other's situation and can determine actions. This communication is provided by agents assigned as message carriers between units in a microgrid. Multi-agent systems have emerged as a promising approach to realize and optimize energy management in microgrids. In this study, agent and multi-agent system structures used in microgrids are introduced and communication platforms are examined. Java Agent Development Environment (JADE), one of the platforms used to design multi-agent-based systems, is reviewed and its use in microgrids is described.
