N2 - In this paper, a new multi-agent control system (MACS) is proposed for smart distribution networks. It can: 1) eliminate the feeders' congestion, 2) globally correct voltage violations, and 3) coordinate the operation of reactive power control devices. In performing its functions, the MACS must prevent overstress on the substation voltage regulator tap changer under all operating conditions, and avoid selective active power curtailment from DG units. This can help to improve reliability, economic revenue, and power quality. A fuzzy rule-based system is employed for decision-making support in MACS. The proposed MACS can achieve the self-healing requirement of smart distribution network. It eliminates feeders' congestion by properly reconfiguring the distribution network. Meanwhile, it amends most of voltage violation problems by coordinated operation of voltage control devices in the distribution system. The MACS overcomes the severe voltage violation problems via distribution network reconfiguration. It is applied to the IEEE 33-bus test feeder. A full dynamic model is constructed using a parallel MATLAB-JADE simulation arrangement. Comparative performance evaluations of the MACS and other schemes are presented under various conditions.
