Data integration, in the context of the web, faces new problems, due in particular to the heterogeneity of sources, to the fragmentation of the information and to the absence of a unique way to structure and view information. In such areas, the traditional paradigms, on which database foundations are based (i.e. client server architecture, few sources containing large information), have to be o...

This paper deals with the application of a multi agent system (MAS) for service restoration in distributed power systems. In this paper, the part of the service restoration process which deals with restoring power to consumers in case of an outage, is considered. A restoration strategy based on agent technology has been formulated. This strategy proposes a method for prioritizing certain consum...

This paper presents an online two-stage Q-learning based multi-agent (MA) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-area multi-source power system integrated with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed control strategy consists of two stages. The first stage is employed a PID controller which its parameters are designed using sine cosine optimization (SCO...
