Towards autonomic control in decentralised power systems via distributed type-2 fuzzy systems

Abstract

Real-time control and operation of future power systems demands substantially different approaches from the conventional. Inherent short-term uncertainty and complexity in power systems will be notably increased. In order to deal with these two challenging attributes, this paper introduces a preliminary autonomic control scheme formed through the conjunction of type-2 fuzzy systems and a multi-agent architecture. Results are also presented addressing voltage control on an 11 kV UK distribution network.
