Title
A multiagent based algorithm for ring-structured shipboard power system reconfiguration
Abstract
The shipboard power system (SPS) supplies energy to electric equipment on ships. It is critical for the system to be reconfigurable for the purpose of survivability and reliability. In earlier work a de-centralized approach for a radial SPS reconfiguration is successfully developed. Each agent in this system only communicates with its immediate neighbors, which reduces the dependency on the system topology. However, the ring structure in the system leads to the problem of redundant information accumulation among the agents, making the information flow in the system unstable. In this paper, the authors propose the use of the spanning tree algorithm in IEEE 802.1d protocol for an agent system to detect and break the ring structure in the system. Then an algorithm for calculating the information flow without redundant information accumulation is put forward. Finally the proposed methodology is illustrated through a test case on a simplified SPS.
