Multi-Agent Systems for Control and Monitoring of Dams

Abstract

In AI, Multi Agent System (MAS) approach is used by many applications such as in robotics, communication network and in vehicles management. In this paper, author proposed a model of intelligent agents to assist the operator in analyzing the level of water in a Dam, and helps in supplying of waters towards power station or lake. The problems which are encountered in development, working, controlling and monitoring of large Dams are: cost, manpower and assessment of level of water.  In this paper, the working of proposed MAS is represented in two fold; firstly Assessment Agent, analyze the level of water in lake according to define validation rules and secondly data is collected from water supply agent and power station agent. This model helps to improve and synchronize the management and control process of water of different Dams.
