Abstract
The current technological infrastructure in the electricity, heat, cold, and gas supply, as a rule, is formed and controlled separately by local systems and tasks. The traditionally considered energy systems unite large energy sources, such as hydroelectric power station, combined heat and power plants, boiler plants, and electric and pipeline networks distributed over a large area. New trends in the energy sector necessitate a revision of the principles of construction of energy systems and the creation of integrated energy supply systems. Combining separate different types of systems of different levels into a single integrated system with many coordinated elements can contribute to the implementation of new functionality, the use of more advanced technologies in operation and the active participation of consumers with distributed generation in the energy supply process. For the study of integrated energy supply systems it is proposed to use a multiagent approach, which is one of the promising areas of research for complex systems. This approach is used in many subject areas to study systems that include many elements with complex behavior. Such systems include integrated energy supply systems. The solution of the problem on the basis of the agent approach is developed by a multitude of interrelated agents.

Summary
The energy industry of the developed countries is currently experiencing a shift in the technological paradigm. The structure of the developed multiagent system (MAS) reflects the features of the scheme for constructing an intelligent IES It is divided into appropriate levels and includes vertical and horizontal connections between the elements of the system, in contrast to the traditional hierarchical scheme, where the interaction takes place vertically, strictly from the bottom up. The presented agents of the metalevel exchange data with the information agents of the systems (electrical, thermal, gas, and cold supply), and control the solutions obtained for the functioning problems developed as a result of the interaction of the agents of the systems. If necessary, they adjust the resulting solutions to ensure the specified constraints. In critical situations, when it is impossible to independently develop a solution at the system level, the information coordinator agents develop a solution and transfer it to the control coordinator agent, it forms control actions and implements it
