Abstract :
This paper describes the concept of improving operation of a distribution circuit of the future through installment of interoperable devices, including distributed energy resources (DER) that are controlled using a multi-agent system approach. This concept for improving distribution service is being considered by SCE´s DER Program, with additional assistance from West Virginia University in the development of a conceptual implementation methodology that includes multi-agent control.
