Due to uncertainty and dynamic characteristics from intermittent energy and load demand response (DR), the optimal operation of the hybrid energy system is a great challenge. This article proposes an event-triggered multiagent coordinated optimization strategy with two-layered architecture. First, the price-bidding-based DR model is proposed with different stakeholders, and it also deduces the optimal bidding price with the Nash equilibrium theory. Then, four agents are designed to control different kinds of energy resources: agent 1 mainly analyzes the uncertainty or randomness caused by intermittent power, agent 2 takes charge of the dynamic economic dispatch (DED) within thermal units, agent 3 manages the optimal scheduling of energy storage, and agent 4 mainly undertakes the load-shifting strategy from consumers. In the upper-layer level, all agents coordinate together to ensure the stability of the hybrid energy system with an event-triggered mechanism, and the intelligent control approach mainly depends on switching ON/OFF power generators or curtailing system load, and the consensus algorithm is utilized to optimize the subsystem problem in the lower-layer level. Furthermore, the simulation results can further verify the efficiency of the proposed method, and it also reveals that the event-triggered multiagent optimization strategy can be a promising way to solve the hybrid energy system problem.
