Abstract :
Employment of multi-agent system (MAS) principle in power systems can provide a discipline for interrelations between the host computers in different substations in order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of remedial actions and consequently power system operation against disturbance occurrence. In this paper, two types of these disciplines, each of which constructs an organization for agents, are explained and their performances in voltage control of a power system (in the context of steady state regime) are examined and compared on Nordic32 as test power system. These MASs may be implemented as the main structure of a wide area monitoring, protection and control (WAMPAC) system.
