Abstract

Multi-Agent system (MAS) is applied to the intelligent control of the complex system more extensively. This paper carries out the design and research on MAS control system based on the central cooling system of an electric propulsion plant on ship. A Multi-Agent hierarchical control structure which is appropriate for the control of the central cooling system is established. The cooperative method of contract net model is used for the Agents´ cooperation. This paper sets up an experimental table that is based on the composition and arrangement of the cooling system, and achieves the confirmation of the control requirement according to the experiment. This research provides foundation for further research of the MAS control to the complex cooling system.
