Abstract :
In order to support the power engineering community in terms of effective implementation of multi-agent system technology, two key technical issues need to be addressed: how should/can agents, autonomous intelligent agents and societies of agents be built for power engineering applications? Underlying these core questions are a number of key technical challenges. In this paper the authors discuss the technical aspects of the standards, tools, supporting technologies and design methodologies available to those wishing to implement a MAS solution to a power engineering problem. Based on the authors´ experience of implementing multi-agent systems for condition monitoring and the analysis of power system disturbances, both the benefits and shortcomings of these technologies and approaches are discussed
