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 />
