Research on smart grid information management system based on complex scientific management thinking and multi agent system technology

Based on complexity system features, firstly it is pointed out that smart grid information management system (SGIMS) should be classified to the category of complexity systems and possesses various complexity features such as intelligence, multi-hierarchies, nonlinearity, interactivity, emergence, adaptability and self-organization; secondly, based on the idea of complex scientific management, it is considered that it is necessary to adopt complex scientific management thinking, which possesses the fundamental nature of systematization, modularization, circular causality and visualization; finally, according to multi-agent system (MAS) technology and based on electric power production process and information management process an SGIMS design frame with multi-hierarchies and multi-agent modules is constructed, and it is pointed out that to implement this information system, the support from corresponding systems, including investment guarantee system, technology security system, electricity market management and organization system, standard specification system, policy support system and so on, is necessary.
