Research on Multi-Agent Fault Diagnosis System for Ship Integrated Power System

Ship integrated power system (SIPS) uses electric power propulsion, power network and electric network are integrated into complicated one. Fault diagnosis system of SIPS can help the crew to handle faults, shorten processing time and prevent faults from expanding. Multi-agent technique is adopted for the fault diagnosis system. SIPS is divided into several feeder units. Each is abstracted as a regional feeder agent (FED-Agent). Multi-agent fault diagnosis system is established by using FED-Agent and other functional agents. Considering of the characteristics of agent, the multi-agent system process both interactivity and autonomy. It can effectively solve the fault diagnosis problem of SIPS.
