Abstract
Reliability evaluation of Integrated Energy Systems (IESs) based on Smart Agent Communication (SAC) is studied in this paper. The typical structure and reliability evaluation modeling for IESs is firstly introduced. A new reliability evaluation approach is then presented, in which SAC based system reconfiguration is innovatively integrated into the reliability evaluation process. Based on this combination, state evaluation (key procedure of the reliability evaluation) along with system reconfiguration can be conducted autonomously in reliability evaluation. Algorithm and procedures of the system reconfiguration based on a decentralized agent communication algorithm (Kâ1 algorithm) is described. The system reconfiguration does not depend on global information of whole system, which can effectively improve reliability evaluation and modeling efficiency. The presented models and approaches are conducted on the multi-paradigm modeling and simulation platform-AnyLogic, and validated by extensive cases studies.
