Microgrids aim at providing reliable and optimised energy for all the grid participants. This requires the integration of technology solutions, especially for the management of the grid. Existing technologies, such as multi-agent systems, demonstrated their applicability in such fields by providing distributable, reliable, secure, and flexible solutions. We propose a reference architecture for microgrid approaches based on multi-agent systems with the aim of guiding software engineers and researches in the design and implementation of such solutions. Our reference architecture was validated by means of two case studies.
