Abstract :
A Multi-Agent System (MAS) for Smart Grid control is developed as part of the West Virginia Super Circuit (WVSC) Smart Grid Demonstration project. Both software and hardware deployment of the technology is being carried out on an Analog Power Simulator upgraded and automated to meet the Smart Grid requirements. The Multi-Agent System which is developed is based on mimicking the Human Immune System Cells behavior to intelligently perform feeder fault location, isolation, reconfiguration and restoration for a specific layout of the existing Allegheny Power West Run circuit.
