Agent-based Adaptive Protection Coordination in Power Distribution Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a protection system adopting a MultiAgent concept for the distribution systems is proposed. An overcurrent relay(OCR) is developed as an agent by adding its own intelligence, self-tuning and communication ability. The proposed OCR agent is able to detect a fault or a change in the network in an autonomous manner and changes its operating parameters adapting to the new operation conditions working with other OCR agents through communication. Simulations in a sample distribution system with a variety of case studies show the feasibility of the agent-based protection to achieve the adaptive protection.

Optimal Combined and Adaptive Protection of Active Distribution Networks Considering Different System Topologies Incorporating Optimal Selection of Standard Relay Curves
The change in the topology of active distribution networks (ADNs) is one of the essential challenges that might affect the protection schemes. The conventional protection schemes based on base topology result in some coordination constraint violations in other topologies due to the outage of upstream substations and distributed generation units. In this article, new combinational and adaptive p...

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
