智能电网是近年来发展的重点。其核心理念是建立一个更加分散的系统，并广泛使用数字通信。在研究人员和工业界中，有一个明确的趋势是在已建立的通信技术（例如DSL，GSM，GPRS，WiMAX，ZigBee;基于TPC/IP）上构建智能电网，并提出了多代理系统应用程序来处理控制和决策的复杂性和分散性。然而，很难在部署之前验证新的应用程序和通信网络。特别是控制和保护的时间关键型应用需要深入的理解和准确的建模。本文介绍了一个软件平台的设计和实现，这是所谓的MAC-Sim，可以共同模拟多智能体应用程序和通信网络。我们扩展了多代理系统框架和通信网络模拟器，并通过分布式仿真建模架构将它们结合起来。该方法的可行性已通过实现和仿真基于代理的区域3远程备份继电器监督方案及其通信基础设施得到了证明。该仿真平台可以帮助设计、开发和验证基于代理的智能电网应用和通信网络。
The smart grid has been the main focus of development in recent years. It is central to its idea to build a more decentralised system and make extensive use of digital communication. There is a definite trend among researchers and industry to build the smart grid on established communication technologies (e.g. DSL, GSM, GPRS, WiMAX, ZigBee; TPC/IP based) and multi-agent system applications are proposed to deal with the complexity and decentralisation of control and decision making. However, it is difficult to validate the new applications and communication networks prior to deployment. Especially time-critical applications for control and protection demand deep understanding and accurate modelling. This paper presents the design and implementation of a software platform, which is called MAC-Sim, that can co-simulate multi-agent applications and communication networks. We extended a multi-agent system framework and communication network simulator and combined them via a distributed simulation modelling architecture. The feasibility of this approach has been demonstrated by implementing and simulating an agent-based zone 3 remote backup relay supervision scheme and its communication infrastructure. This simulation platform can help to design, develop, and validate agent-based smart grid applications and communication networks.
