Multiple energy carrier optimisation with intelligent agents

Intelligent Power Management Using Multiple Agents

Intelligent Power Management (IPM) for a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is crucial in maximising the operational longevity of the network. An established regime for achieving this is through the opportunistic hibernation of redundant nodes. Redundancy, however, can have various definitions within the field of WSNs and indeed multiple protocols, each operating using a different definition, can co...

Coordination of Multiple Intelligent Software Agents

We are investigating techniques for developing distributed and adaptive collections of information agents that coordinate to retrieve, lter and fuse information relevant to the user, task and situation, as well as anticipate user's information needs. In our system of agents, information gathering is seamlessly integrated with decision support. The task for which particular information is reques...

The Optimal Power Flow of Multiple Energy Carriers in Networked Multi-Carrier Microgrid

The future distribution network comprising different energy carriers will include small-scale energy resources (SSERs) and loads, known as a Networked multi-carrier microgrid (NMCMG). This concept not only leads to an efficient reduction in operation costs, but also encompasses the energy transformation between gas and electric networks at combined nodes, as well as district heating networks. I...

E-learning with Intelligent Agents

Designing Distributed Learning Environments with Intelligent Software Agents discusses a possible solution to this problem. Using agents as an abstraction tool or a metaphor for the design and construction of distance-learning systems provides novel possibilities in delivering user-focused elearning content. Furthermore, the book presents the agent-oriented approach as a way to address the comp...
