Decentralized control and management systems for power industry via multiagent systems technology

In this paper we have done a survey over control and management challenges in modern power systems today in terms of emerging distributed power generation (DG), microgrid management, electricity marketing and power quality control toward smart grid. Intelligent agent and multiagent systems (MAS) technology are introduced, then properties and more potential benefits of MAS for power systems such as scalability, expertise and grid-computing are discussed to address MAS is a appropriate solution for power engineering challenges.
