A Multiagent Design for Power Distribution Systems Automation

A Systems Approach to Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure Design for Utility Management Automation Systems

Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...

Design of robust shipboard power automation systems

Emergent power and automation technologies provide new opportunities and challenges for multi-disciplinary ship design. In particular, these dynamically interdependent systems require dependable, fault-tolerant control to efficiently manage limited resources and to respond to casualty conditions. Design of an electric warship engineering and damage control system of systems is considered as an ...

Reliability Improvement of Power Distribution Systems using Advanced Distribution Automation

Towards the complete vision of smarter distribution grid, advanced distribution automation system (ADAS) is one of the major players in this area. In this scope, this paper introduces a generic strategy for cost-effective implementation and evaluation of ADAS. Along with the same line, fault location, isolation and service restoration (FLISR) is one of the most beneficial and desirable applicat...

Design Patterns for Multiagent Systems Design

Capitalizing and diffusing experience about multiagent systems are two key mechanisms the classical approach of methods and tools can’t address. Our hypothesis is that, among available techniques that collect and formalise experience, design patterns are the most able technique allowing to express the agent concepts and to adapt itself to the various MAS developing problems. In this paper, we p...
