The next generation of utility-scale energy storage will be composed of modular systems and autoconfiguring software. This is key to incorporating battery management systems (BMS) and power electronic converters (PEC) from multiple manufacturers into a cohesive single system. In this paper, an agent-based architecture which supports the integration of numerous BMSs and PECs is proposed. This architecture supports optimization and control of the entire system and can be used in many different energy storage technologies.
