Somaliland’s power grid supplying the city of Berbera, home to the largest port in the horn of Africa, is being monitored and controlled using microgrid technology. The microgrid consists of two solar plants with a total capacity of 8MW, a containerised lithium-ion power storage system with a capacity of 2MWh and three modern diesel generators.
This project in Somaliland is one of the first in the world to use the company’s patented Maximum Inverter Power Tracking (MIPT) technology to increase the share of solar power in microgrids. Hosted by BEC utility, Somaliland’s power grid supplying the city of Berbera is being monitored and controlled using microgrid technology.
The microgrid consists of two solar plants with a total capacity of 8MW, a containerised lithium-ion power storage system with a capacity of 2MWh and three modern diesel generators. These were combined in the Berbera Electricity Company (BEC) utility grid.
Additionally, Berbera has its own airports to which Berbera Electricity Company (BEC) also supplies power. To improve the energy supply, solar photovoltaic power plants are being built in Somaliland to supplement the existing generators, in addition to other measures. But this development poses major challenges for the power grid.

The dynamic nature of Low-Voltage Micro-Grids (LVMGs) makes them ideal candidates for a multi-agent approach to energy optimization [7].Research has demonstrated that Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are particularly effective in these settings, allowing autonomous agents to collaborate and optimize various aspects of the microgrid [8].This collaborative …
As of April 2021, the citywide power grid supplying the city of Berbera, home to the largest port in the area, is being monitored and controlled using DHYBRID microgrid technology.
Multi Agent Systems (MAS)s have been around since 80''s and they have been regarded as a "societies of agents" which interact with each other to coordinate their behaviours and possibly achieve a common goal [].Nevertheless, the concept of agent is rather ambiguous among researchers, and it ranges from a simple entity which only can communicate to the one …

Due to the poor economic condition of the country, Somaliland is in need of alternative energy sources in small amounts (10–100 kW h/day) supplied throughout the territory.Thus, small and medium-sized hybrid systems are sufficient to contribute to the already existing energy production mechanisms so that the present and the near future energy …
Therefore, the optimal configuration of the hybrid renewable energy system for the microgrid includes: a 1.3kW photovoltaic generator, a 9kW wind turbine, a 1.6kW diesel generator, and a bank of 6 batteries. Microgrid is progressively an option for electricity access in unelectrified areas in developing nations.

This paper proposes a multi-agent system-based microgrid energy management and proper control in distributed systems. For the complexity of energy management in distributed systems, a multi-agent system-based decentralized control architecture was developed. The proposed technique is based on several smart agents, each agent is based on the microgrid …

This consequently reduces the cost of energy (COE) by 30% and the total net present cost (NPC) of the simulated system by a further 25% as compared to a current diesel-only microgrid. The deployment of a hybrid microgrid shows the viability of a better economic prospect than the current "business-as-usual" scenario in Somaliland.
