JEE_V2_N4_RP8 P. Ravi Babu K. Prapoorna N.V. Prashanth A. Shruti Journal on Electrical Engineering 2230 – 7176 2 4 61 70 Reconfiguration, Service Restoration, Multi Agent System (MAS), Redundant Information Accumulation (RIA), Binary Spanning Tree This paper presents a novel, completely decentralized Multi Agent System based reconfiguration methodology for Shipboard Power Systems. The objectives of the approach considered are: to design an Multi Agent System based reconfiguration structure, an algorithm that can break an arbitrary mesh structured Multi Agent System into tree structure to avoid redundant information accumulation problem and to develop a completely decentralized reconfiguration methodology. Software has been developed using C for the above work. April - June 2009 Copyright © 2009 i-manager publications.
