Abstract: Abstract. The growing decentralization of energy systems requires scalable,flexible coordination of distributed generation, energy storage, anddemand-side flexibility among local energy communities. This work buildsupon the agent-based scheduling framework MASSIVE, extending its capabilitiesto operate in real-world settings. Within the extensive framework,agents participate in the local electricity market by submitting bidsbased on operational constraints and preferences of local energy componentsor aggregates, such as a campus. Optimized setpoints derived frommarket clearing are sent as control signals to physical or simulated assets.To enable the transmission to be modular, interoperable, and responsivein real time, we extend the MASSIVE framework with a lightweight,MQTT-based layer. We validate the applicability of these control signalsthrough a series of experiments involving real hardware and technical andsafety constraints. Additionally, a geographically distant battery systemwas incorporated in real time and it effectively followed market-drivensetpoints. The results confirm that a decentralized, agent-based marketcoordination model facilitates flexible integration of physical energy systems.Plug-and-play functionality, heterogeneous control strategies, andinterconnection across regions are collectively offered by the framework,thereby providing a robust path to smart energy communities.
