Multi-Agent Based Monitoring and Control of Power Distribution System

ABSTRACT:

In this Paper, a Multi-agent System platform that will allow agents to detect and report fault in Power Distribution System (PDS) with the minimum time delay is presented. Multi-agent System Engineering (MaSE) methodology was used to demonstrate how agents will be able to manage the complexity of PDS.  The simulation of the framework was done using Java Agent Development Framework (JADE). The result indicates that Multi-Agent System technology can be applied to detect and report fault in Power Distribution System with the minimum time delay.
