An effective voltage control scheme for distribution systems by means of multi-agents

This paper proposes a new voltage control scheme for distribution networks, where various new components, such as distributed resources, are being equipped, while conventional types of tap-changing controllers are still active. The authors employ a multi-agent system to build the new control scheme for the tap-changing controllers that is suitable for an autonomous system. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through several numerical simulations with successful results.
