A Multi-Agent Approach to the More Electric Aircraft Power System Reconfiguration

Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-agent approach to reconfiguration for power system restoration applied to the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) power system presenting a redundant power distribution layout. The Multi-agent method has been applied in order to make the power system reconfiguration, when fault happened. The restoration process has been achieved by the agents and the simulations have been conducted with different cases of operation mode of the MEA. The restoration configurations were derived through a program written in C++ for the agents and the results confirm the feasibility of applying the multi-agent method for restoring the MEA power system.
