An Intelligent Control Hydropower System Based on Multi-Agent Theory

In order to achieve the potential of existing power stations, increase the efficiency of waterpower, and change the running of power stations from an individual plant basis to centralization, many people have researched the automation of power stations over the years with excellent results. However, in reality there are no power stations that have been fully automated. This paper proposes a control system based on Multi-Agent Theory, including a management agent, communication agent, control agent, echo agent, and so on. These agents are able to harmonize automation and intelligence to provide effective control of the running of a hydropower station. The end goal is a real control system that can operate independently of human intervention.
