Multi-agent-based SCADA system

Abstract

Multi-agent (MA) technology can improve the serviceability and enhance maintenance-free operation for SCADA systems with the inter-terminal parameter (ITP) method. In addition, the system's distributed intelligent field terminals (IFTs) use a common algorithm that is unaffected by any changes to the system specifications. As a result of these innovations, the proposed system has much better serviceability because it is much easier to make modifications compared to that of conventional systems.
