ABSTRACT: IEC61850 is the most promising standard for design of
power utility communication networks and automation systems. On the other hand
multi-agent systems are attracting growing interest for different applications
of power engineering. This paper presents the possibility that IEC61850 could
be applied to build intelligent agents for power engineering applications. The
paper investigates the correlation between IEC61850 and multi-agents and
presents IEC61850 service tracking as a scenario. First, briefly introduces
reporting and service tracking; then, investigates agents, intelligent agents
and the characteristics of intelligent agents; last, analyzes the
characteristics of service tracking and compares it with intelligent agents.
And analysis shows that IEC61850 could be applied to build intelligent agents,
which represents a significant step forward for MAS to apply in power
engineering.
