This paper presents new explorations into the use of agent technology applied to the protection coordination of power systems. The impact of distributed generators on protection coordination is first discussed. Then, a coordination multiagent system is proposed with the functions of the agents described. In the proposed system, communication will play an important role to provide more information for the relay coordination besides the relay settings. Communication simulation has been carried out on the Java Agent Development Framework platform. The information communication process shows that adaptive coordination can be achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
