Outage Management in Smart Distribution Networks by Restricting the Faulty Section

EasyChair Preprint 2159

Abstract

New decentralized method for outage management in smart distribution networks using Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is presented in this paper. In this study, definition of MAS, the tasks of each individual agent and their functionality are explained in details according to the simulated sample of power distribution. Subsequently, some scenarios which may occur in smart distribution networks have been simulated and analyzed. The objective of this study is to restrict the faulty area as much as possible and consequently maximize the customers’ welfare by means of suitable prioritized load-shedding in small portions. The results indicate that by considering the prioritized load-shedding, both utility and customers will nearly approach their goals.

Keyphrases: Outage Management, Smart Distribution Networks, load shedding, multi-agent systems
