Abstract
Earlier research [1] by the Institute of Energy and Environment and SP PowerSystems demonstrated that multi-agent systems technology could be used to integrate a number of software tools to automate the analysis and management of power systems monitoring data. This paper focuses on issues raised during the migration from an off-line prototype to an on-line multi-agent system for use at SP PowerSystems. The authors believe that the system described in this paper is one of the first of its type to be deployed in the electrical power industry for continual on-line use by operational engineers.
