Abstract :
A novel systematic algorithm for the dynamic reconfiguration of the distribution network was proposed based on multi-agent system in this paper. In which, one day was divided into several time intervals and each was managed by a work agent. An improved hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm was applied in each time interval to produce a solution set which included some enough good solutions. Then the coordination agent would select a solution from each work agent´s solution set, and coordinate them until the number constraint of switching operations was satisfied. The whole architecture of the multi-agent system was presented, and the function modules of the work agent and coordination agent were also discussed. Computer simulations were conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
