A Self-Organizing Multi-Agent System for Distributed Voltage Regulation

An Online Q-learning Based Multi-Agent LFC for a Multi-Area Multi-Source Power System Including Distributed Energy Resources

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...

Optimal Message Interchange in a Self-organizing Multi-agent System

Over the last decade there has been a growing interest on Intelligent Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in several fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Software Engineering, Psychology, etc. . . Different problems can be solved in these fields by creating societies of agents that communicate with each other. Nevertheless, when the number of agents is large and the connectivity is ext...

Efficient Allele Fitness Assignment with Self-organizing Multi-agent System

The problem of discovering complex control policies for continuous tasks is often best addressed by decomposing the policy into several simpler parts. While a genetic algorithm usually decomposes the task by encoding a chromosome over multiple genes, it faces the difficult credit assignment problem of evaluating how a single allele in a chromosome contributes to the full solution. Typically a s...

Multi-Agent System Based Distributed Voltage Control in Distribution Systems

Exploring a Self Organizing Multi Agent Approach for Service Discovery

Service orientation promotes a new way to design and implement large scale distributed applications across organizational and technical boundaries. However, it does not provide sufficient means to cope with the increasing complexity in service-oriented software applications. A promising way to get rid of the dilemma is to enable self-organization in service oriented computing (Gonzalez, 2005) (...
