The objective of the work described in this book is
to design and simulate a multi-agent based energy
management system for a
shipboard power system in hard real-time
environment. Multi-agent technology is used in
designing the reconfigurable
energy management system using a self-stabilizing
maximum flow algorithm. The agent based
energy management system is designed in a
Matlab/Simulink environment. The number of steps
taken to reach the global solution and the time
taken are very
promising. With the growing importance of timing
accuracy in simulating control systems during design
and development, there is an increased need for
these simulations to run in a real-time environment.
This research further focuses on software tools that
support hard real-time environment to run real-time
simulations. A detailed survey has been conducted on
freely available real-time operating systems and
other software tools to setup a desktop PC
supporting real-time environment.
Matlab/Simulink/RTW-RTAI was
selected as real-time computer aided control design
software for demonstrating real-time simulation of
agent based energy management system.
