Multiagent - Based Control Systems : a Hybridapproach to Distributed Process Control ?

چکیده
This paper presents a general architecture and a platform developed to implement distributed applications as a set of cooperating intelligent agents. It also shows how this architecture has been used to implement a distributed control system for a complex process: the economic control of a fossil-fuel red power plant. Agents in this application encapsulate diierent distributed hardware/software entities: neural and fuzzy controllers, a data-acquisition system, presentation manager, etc. These agents are deened in ADL (Agent Description Language), a high-level speciication language, and interchange data/knowledge through service requests using a common knowledge-representation language.

Studying Dynamic behavior of Distributed Parameter Processes Behavior Based on Dominant Gain Concept and it’s Use in Controlling these Processes
In this paper, distributed parameter process systems behavior is studied in frequency domain. Based on the dominant gain concept that is developed for such studies, a method is presented to control distributed parameter process systems. By using dominant gain concept, the location of open loop zeros, resulted from the time delay parameter in the process model, were changed from the right half p...

متن کاملCooperative Control and Its Engineering Applications in Power Systems
In the past few years, distributed cooperative control of multiagent systems has receivedmuch attention from various scientific fields due to its wide engineering applications. A multiagent system typically contains numerous nodes and lots of links among these individual nodes. It is thus difficult or practically impossible to design a centralized controller to control all the nodes. Within thi...

One approach for automating industrial processes is a Distributed Control System (DCS) based on a hierarchical architecture. In this hierarchy, each level is characterized by a group of different tasks to be carried out within the control system and by using and generating different information. In this article, a reference model for the development of Intelligent Distributed Control Systems ba...
متن کاملAgent-Based Distributed Resource Allocation in Continuous Dynamic Systems
The automation of complex large-scale systems is one of the most challenging tasks of modern control engineering. Such systems comprise a huge number of spatially distributed subsystems with both frequent and infrequent interactions, resulting in a complex overall behavior. In addition, numerous disturbances can occur leading to a high degree of uncertainty. The automation of such systems there...
