Several papers deal with the topic of multi-agent solutions for the energy management in complex energy systems. According to the time scale, we distinguish two kinds of management: a reactive management (short-term) and an anticipative management (long-term). The objective of this paper is to propose a survey of the different multi-agent approaches, we thus propose a classification of existing management approaches according to the level of the system at which the decisions are made. The physical deployment of services' steering shows that these services can be only of two types: independent and interdependent and gives hints about the adequate tools of management.
