Abstract

A distributed control systems with multi-agent (MA) technology can improve the serviceability and enhance maintenance-free operation with the inter-terminal parameter (ITP) method. In addition, the system´s distributed intelligent field terminals (IFTs) use a common algorithm that is unaffected by any changes to the system specifications. As a result of these innovations, the serviceability of the proposed system is significantly improved as compared to that of conventional systems in terms of modification. This system has been implemented for practical purposes at over 40 sites
