DISTRIBUTED MOBILE AGENT MODEL FOR MULTI AREA POWER SYSTEM ON-LINE ECONOMIC LOAD DISPATCH

K. Nithiyananthan - V. Ramachandran

   The main objective of this paper is to construct a mobile agent model in a distributed environment through which the economic load dispatch (ELD) solutions of multi area power systems can be monitored and controlled. In the proposed model for ELD, a mobile agent is created which enables the mobility of the economic dispatch executable code to the neighboring power system client host. A single server (main container) /multi client (sub container) based architecture which enables the power system clients to access the economic load dispatch mobile agent at its own framework with their respective data and to get the economic load dispatch solutions. A distributed agent model has been implemented in such a way that for every specific period of time, the ELD agent migrates from one power system client to another to obtain the system data and the optimized economic load dispatch solutions with power loss have been sent back to the respective clients in a heterogeneous environment. The ELD agent creates a new thread of control for every clients request and hence complete distributed environment is exploited.
