Abstract
Simulation of home use of electric energy is a very powerful tool for the purpose of studying, planning and managing at electric energy distribution companies. This paper presents the initial results obtained considering the paradigm of multiagent systems (namely, the NetLogo tool) for the of energy consumption simulation as a common resource. Distinct profiles of possible behaviors of consumers and household appliances with different powers are modeled and simulated using computational agents.
