“…Belkacemi et al [18] introduce the West Virginia Super-Circuit (WVSC) project that is part of the modern grid initiative aiming at demonstrating and testing new technologies to enable the deployment and implementation of smart grids. In this case, WVSC is used as a test bed to illustrate functionality of newly designed immune-based MAS.…”

“…The Advanced Research Institute of Virginia Tech presents the design and implementation of multiagent technology in the context of an intelligent, distributed, and autonomous power system [18]. The agents (i.e., control, DER, user, and database) are used to detect upstream outages and react accordingly to allow the micro grid to operate autonomously in an island.…”

The intention of this paper is to provide an overview of using agent and service-oriented technologies in intelligent energy systems. It focuses mainly on ongoing research and development activities related to smart grids. Key challenges as a result of the massive deployment of distributed energy resources are discussed, such as aggregation, supply-demand balancing, electricity markets, as well as fault handling and diagnostics. Concepts and technologies like multiagent systems or service-oriented architectures are able to deal with future requirements supporting a flexible, intelligent, and active power grid management. This work monitors major achievements in the field and provides a brief overview of large-scale smart grid projects using agent and service-oriented principles. In addition, future trends in the digitalization of power grids are discussed covering the deployment of resource constrained devices and appropriate communication protocols. The employment of ontologies ensuring semantic interoperability as well as the improvement of security issues related to smart grids is also discussed.

“…Another recent topic in Agent development in the implementation of Agents in hardware and communication of hardware and software agents. Some works discuss implementations of MAS with hardware Agents, such as in [1], [15] and [3] Most of the work in this area results in implementation proposals which allow only communication between Agents of the same implementation nature (hardware or software) or allow communication between Agents among different implementation natures only through the use of a custom protocol. Usually, the topic of migrating agents from software to hardware is also out of scope.…”

This work proposes a framework and design-space exploration on possible implementations for Multi-Agent based embedded systems for precision agriculture applications using image processing. For this application, we evaluate both purely software-based implementations on different embedded processors, as well as implementations which feature dedicated peripherals for image processing implemented in FPGA. All of the implementations feature agent capabilities provided through the JADE Framework. The proposed Reconfigurable hardware Agent framework features capabilities which allow it to offer high performance for applications such as high resolution image processing. We consider the impact of JADE agent migration to an FPGA platform and evaluate the impact of partially reconfiguring the FPGA in this application. The proposed framework is evaluated in an application of use of UAVs for precision agriculture. A faster execution for the image processing algorithms and detection of points of interest (POI) allows for processing images of higher resolution, which may help the accuracy of POI detection. It may also allow for processing an increased number of images in real-time or improve the autonomy of the UAVs.

“…The challenges can be overcome with the utilization of innovative technologies like HVDC and FACTS devices which has the ability to cope with the new challenges. HVDC and FACTS has the characteristics to mitigate technical problems in the smart grid, they increase the transmission capacity and system stability very efficiently and assist in militating cascading disturbances [7]. HVDC and FACTS can make available both steady state and dynamic control for power system.…”
