Again Butler and Sarma [28] put forward an opti‐<br />

mization method that can be applied <strong>to</strong> the re‐<br />

configuration of SPS. The objective for reconfigu‐<br />

ration is <strong>to</strong> maximize the load res<strong>to</strong>red in the<br />

SPS. A commercial software package is used for<br />

solving the optimization problem in the recon‐<br />

figuration process. Butler and Sarma [29] im‐<br />

prove the reconfiguration methodology pro‐<br />

posed in [28]. The reconfiguration methodology<br />

is similar <strong>to</strong> the reconfiguration methodology<br />

proposed in [28]. However, in this work, more<br />

constraints, such as voltage constraints for buses<br />

in the SPS, are applied <strong>to</strong> the reconfiguration<br />

compared <strong>to</strong> the work in [28]. In [27] and [28],<br />

the reconfiguration methodology is imple‐<br />

mented by using a commercial optimization soft‐<br />

ware, which cannot provide a real time perform‐<br />

ance.<br />

Srivastava and Butler [32] proposed an au<strong>to</strong>‐<br />

matic rule based expert system for the recon‐<br />

figuration process of an SPS. The objective of the<br />

reconfiguration process is <strong>to</strong> supply the de‐<br />

energized loads after battle damage or cascading<br />

faults. In the event of battle damage or cascad‐<br />

ing faults, a failure assessment (FAST) system<br />

detects faults, identifies faulted components in<br />

damaged sections, and determines de‐energized<br />

loads. The reconfiguration method uses the out‐<br />

put of a FAST system, real time data, <strong>to</strong>pology<br />

information and electrical parameters of various<br />

components <strong>to</strong> perform reconfiguration for load<br />

res<strong>to</strong>ration of an SPS.<br />

Again Srivastava and Butler [33] proposed a<br />

probability based pre‐hit reconfiguration<br />

method. In this research, the reconfiguration<br />

actions are determined on the estimation of the<br />

damage that a weapon hit may cause before the<br />

weapon hit happens. The objective of the recon‐<br />

figuration in this work is <strong>to</strong> res<strong>to</strong>re the service in<br />

SPS and reduce the damage caused by weapon<br />

hit. This probabilistic reconfiguration methodol‐<br />

<strong>MIMET</strong> Technical Bulletin Volume 1 (2) 2010<br />

ogy has two major modules: weapon damage<br />

assessment (WDA) module and pre‐hit recon‐<br />

figuration module. The main goal of the WDA is<br />

<strong>to</strong> compute the expected probability of damage<br />

(EPOD) value for each electrical component in an<br />

SPS. The pre‐hit reconfiguration module takes<br />

the EPOD calculated by WDA as the input, and<br />

determines the reconfiguration actions <strong>to</strong> re‐<br />

duce the damage <strong>to</strong> the SPS that may be caused<br />

by the weapon hit.<br />

Again the same author, Butler and Sarma [34] pro‐<br />

posed au<strong>to</strong>mated self‐healing strategy for recon‐<br />

figuration for service res<strong>to</strong>ration in Naval SPS. A<br />

model of the 3‐D layout of the electrical network of<br />

shipboard power system using a geographical infor‐<br />

mation system was explained. A self‐healing system<br />

is a system that when subjected <strong>to</strong> a contingency<br />

(or threat) is able <strong>to</strong> access the impact of the contin‐<br />

gency, contain it and then au<strong>to</strong>matically perform<br />

corrective action <strong>to</strong> res<strong>to</strong>re the system <strong>to</strong> the best<br />

possible (normal) state <strong>to</strong> perform its basic func‐<br />

tionality.<br />

In recent years, Multi Agent System (MAS) tech‐<br />

nologies have been applied <strong>to</strong> the reconfigura‐<br />

tion process in SPS. Srivastava et al [30] pro‐<br />

posed MAS based reconfiguration methodology<br />

for au<strong>to</strong>matic service res<strong>to</strong>ration in the SPS. In<br />

this work, the overall function of the MAS is <strong>to</strong><br />

detect and locate the fault(s), determine faulted<br />

equipments, determine de‐energized loads, and<br />

perform an au<strong>to</strong>mated service res<strong>to</strong>ration on<br />

the SPS <strong>to</strong> res<strong>to</strong>re de‐energized loads. The MAS<br />

also gives an output list of res<strong>to</strong>rable loads and<br />

switching actions required <strong>to</strong> res<strong>to</strong>re each load.<br />

The res<strong>to</strong>ration methodology proposed in this<br />

research work is not completely decentralized.<br />

Feliachi et al [35] proposed a new scheme for an<br />

energy management system in the form of the<br />

distributed control agents for the reconfigura‐<br />

tion of the SPS. The control agents’ task is <strong>to</strong> en‐<br />

sure supply of the various load demands while<br />
