Power-quality index negotiation criterion for power system soft reconfiguration

Soft automatic load reconfiguration enables best operation of limited power, power systems. In agent based systems, the negotiation between loads can be based on absolute indexes, such as priority levels, or on the actual state of the system at the negotiation time. In this work an experiment is performed using power quality indexes, computed on-line, as state dependant negotiation criterion. Preliminary results are presented together with the description of the experimental platform.
