This paper proposes an agent-based current differential relay for use with a communication network. Agents are software processes capable of searching for information in networks, interacting with pieces of equipment and performing tasks on behalf of their owners (relays). Results illustrating the performance of the agent-based differential method proposed acting within a communication structure are presented for different traffic conditions. These results also show that a dedicated utility intranet is a viable and recommended option as a communication media for the proposed scheme
