One challenge faced by the engineering discipline in the near future is increased
electric power demand coupled with greater efficiency requirements for power generation
stations. Development of more robust control systems capable of supporting larger
power plants with more adaptable control schemes is one solution to the problem. A
Multi-Agent Control System is a type of coordinated control scheme capable of multiple
parallel operations using several elements, or agents, communicating over a network.
This thesis discusses the development and implementation of a Multi-Agent Control
System on a small laboratory power generation plant.
