System Service Restoration of Distribution Network Based on Multi-agent Technology

In this paper, power system restoration was performed by changing the status of the switchers on feeders. Based on Multi-Agent technology, a Multi-Agent Service Restoration System for distribution systems was designed, which consists of two substations on JADE development platform. A Feeder-Agent was set for each feeder and was developed to act as a manager for decision process. At the same time, a Bus-Agent was set for each bus and corresponded to customer loads. Through the interaction and negotiation between Bus-Agents and Feeder-Agents, the proposed Multi-Agent System can complete the task of service restoration in the distribution system, and it is able to restore the original structure of the system when the fault is cleared.
