Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-agent approach to power system restoration. The proposed system consists of several bus agents (BAGs) and a single facilitator agent (FAG). A BAG is developed to decide a sub-optimal target configuration after faults occur by interacting with other BAGs, while a FAG is developed to act as a manager for the decision process. The interaction of several simple agents leads to a dynamic system allowing efficient approximation of a solution. It is shown from simulation results that this method is able to obtain sub-optimal target configurations which are the same as ones obtained by a mathematical programming approach
