Efficient data collection is challenging task in distributed power generation network. Use of sophisticated remote metering data collection techniques using advanced communication channels is receiving significant attention recently. On the other hand intelligent agents are widely being used to develop autonomous applications and have emerged as an attractive approach in developing power system solutions. To collect data from remote generating units and relevant weather stations located in heterogeneous environment, we have developed an novel agent based model for efficient data collection The proposed model switches to appropriate and economical communication channel based upon availability to collect timely data from remote stations. This model has been applied to Pakistan WAPDA's generation network and has produced accurate and timely results.

“…While an Fig 2 The design of the PEDA multi-agent system integrated approach to the analysis of SCADA and DFR data is beneficial, the manner in which integration is achieved has to meet utilities' requirements for flexibility and extensibility. Multi-agent systems (MAS) technology, through the use of standardized agent communication languages and standardized open architectures, can provide a means of building flexible, extensible, distributable software systems [15].…”

The proliferation of monitoring equipment on modern electrical power transmission networks is causing an increasing amount of monitoring data to be captured by transmission network operators. Traditional manual data analysis techniques fail to meet the analysis and reporting requirements of the utilities which have chosen to invest in monitoring. The volume of monitoring data, the complexities in analysing multiple related data sources and the preparation of internal reports based on that analysis, render timely manual analysis impractical, if not intractable.In 2006, the authors reported on the first online trials of the protection engineering diagnostics agents (PEDA) system, an automated fault diagnosis system which integrated legacy intelligent systems for the analysis of SCADA and digital fault recorder (DFR) data in order to provide automatic post fault assessment of protection system performance.In this paper the authors revisit the requirements of the TNO where PEDA was trialled. Based on a new formal specification of requirements carried out in 2008, the authors discuss the requirements met by the current version of PEDA and how PEDA could be augmented to meet these new requirements highlighted in this latest analysis of the utilities' requirements.Index Terms-decision support systems, fault diagnosis, intelligent systems, knowledge-based systems, power transmission protection, multi-agent systems.

The Strathprints institutional repository (https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk) is a digital archive of University of Strathclyde research outputs. It has been developed to disseminate open access research outputs, expose data about those outputs, and enable the management and persistent access to Strathclyde's intellectual output. In this paper the authors propose the integration of COMMAS and PEDA as a means of offering enhanced decision support to engineers tasked with managing transformer assets. By providing automatically interpreted data related to condition monitoring and power system disturbances, the proposed integrated system will offer engineers a more comprehensive picture of the health of a given transformer. Defects and deterioration in performance can be correlated with the operating conditions it experiences.The integration of COMMAS and PEDA has highlighted the issues inherent to the inter-operation of existing multi-agent systems and, in particular, the issues surrounding the use of differing ontologies. The authors believe that these issues will need to be addressed if there is to be widespread deployment of MAS technology within the power industry. This paper presents research undertaken to integrate the two MAS and to deal with ontology issues.
