Abstract

This paper presents a decentralized multi agent system (MAS) which works in real time with a power distribution system for fault detection applications. The agents use local voltage and current rms values. The multi-agent models are simulated in Matlab® Simulink using user defined s-functions and the power system is modeled using the Simulink Simpower toolbox. The proposed method has been tested on a model of an existing Mon Power circuit. Both faulted zone and fault type have been successfully identified.
