A Multi-Agent Based Method for Service Restoration in Shipboard Power System

The shipboard power system (SPS) supplies energy to electric loads on ships. If the power supply of SPS is interrupted by a fault, it is important to restore the power system as soon as possible. Many approaches have been taken on the service restoration of SPS, but most of them use a centralized method and cannot meet the Navy's needs for fight-through survivability and high reliability. This paper improves the mathematical programming method proposed in the early literature and presents a multi-agent system framework performing system restoration for Navy ship. In the MAS, all agents have the ability to collect information, process data and make reasonable decisions independently according to different environment. The MAS is implemented based on Java Agent development framework (JADE). The simulation results of typical SPS service restoration cases demonstrated the feasibility and the advantages of the proposed MAS. Streszczenie. Gdy system zasilania okrętowego zostanie przerwany bardzo ważne jest aby powrócić doi stanu sprzed uszkodzenia jak najszybciej. W artykule zaproponowano ulepszoną metodę wykorzystująca system typu multi agent. Każdy z agentów ma możliwość zbierania informacji, przetwarzania danych i podejmowania decyzji w różnych okolicznościach.
