Multi-agent Approach for Monitoring and Diagnosis Evaluation of Electric Apparatus Control System

A multi-agent based approach for electric apparatus control system is proposed, the aim is to deal with the operation status and evaluate the possible effect of failure for diagnostic purpose. The multi-agent based system is hierarchical architecture according to electric apparatus control system characteristics, node agent, sub-system agent and management agent are defined from lower level to upper level, and cooperation between agents is based on analytical hierarchical process method. A simulation platform for the multi-agent system development is presented for the validated in developing process. The proposed method can incorporate into the engineering application for health monitoring and diagnostic system evaluation of complex electric apparatus control system
