Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new decentralized multi-agent approach for detecting fault equipment in power system. The proposed method consists of several Substation agents (SSAGs), Distribution substations (DSAGs) and Line agents (LAGs). SSAG is installed each substation and controls its substation. DSAG is installed each distribution substation and receives instruction from SSAG or LAG. LAG is installed any substation and controls the transmission line. In order to demonstrate the capability of proposed multi-agent system, it has been applied to a model power system that has 7 substations and 8 distribution substations. The simulation results show that the proposed multi-agent approach is effective and promising.
