Multi-Agent System for Automated Service Restoration of Shipboard Power Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Faults in a Shipboard Power System (SPS) may occur due to material casualties of electrical components or widespread fault due to battle damage. These faults may interrupt supply of electrical energy to loads that are important for proper functioning and survivability of SPS. To improve the reliability of SPS, and thus to enhance survivability of naval ships, automatic service restoration is performed. This paper presents an automated service restoration methodology for electric power systems on naval ships, which was developed using multi-agent technology. The structure of the multi-agent system (MAS) for service restoration, the multiple agents that perform the functions involved in service restoration, and the interactions among the agents is discussed in detail. A case study on a test SPS system is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the multi-agent based service restoration methodology. The results for various agents, their interaction, and the final result obtained after performing the case study is discussed.

A Multi-Agent Based Method for Service Restoration in Shipboard Power System
The shipboard power system (SPS) supplies energy to electric loads on ships. If the power supply of SPS is interrupted by a fault, it is important to restore the power system as soon as possible. Many approaches have been taken on the service restoration of SPS, but most of them use a centralized method and cannot meet the Navy's needs for fight-through survivability and high reliability. This ...
متن کاملConfiguration Validation Using ATP Simulation For An Automatic Shipboard Power System Restoration Method
When a fault occurs in power systems, protective devices detect fault areas and disconnect the faulted sections of the network by opening circuit breakers, fuses etc.. Some loads become unavailable after the fault and should be reenergized, as quickly as possible, after the fault has been isolated. The re-energizing procedure is called service restoration. In Navy shipboard power systems (SPS),...
