INTRODUCTION
What is a circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker is an automaticallyoperated electrical switch designed to protect
an electrical circuit from damage caused by
overload or short circuit.
Fuse, which operates once and then has to be
replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either
manually or automatically) to resume normal
operation.

Predictive maintenance
Systematic solution is to utilize the
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
methodology.

MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES

Parts of Maintenance
System
Substation

Concentrator
Maintenance Crew
Enterprise Maintenance System
Software Agent

 Enterprise

maintenance
System: Information about
spare parts, test, maintenance
records etc.
Substitution Concentrator:
Information about the
substations equipment .
Maintenance crew :Work
inspection or test report
stored on a mobile computer .

What Is Mobile Agent

Software .?
Small

software component that can

perform functions on behalf of users.
Good software agent must able to adapt
change in environment.
Share knowledge with other agent.

11

APPLICATION SCENARIOS
Three Computers study Characteristics Of Data.
The enterprise maintenance system may contain
the maintenance history database.
Substation concentrator is in charge of collecting
data from the sensors installed on the circuit
breakers.
Maintenance crew uses a mobile computer to
access the information and prepares report
utilizing software mobile agents.
12

Advantages Of Using Mobile Agent

Information

Storage and Retrieval

Creating Circuit Breaker Failure Reports
Circuit breaker monitoring
Security Consideration
Logging and Experience Sharing
Cost-benefit analysis

Creating Circuit Breaker

Failure Reports

Gather all the information and compile a report may be

time consuming .
Failure report, the user needs to collect the circuit breaker
information (manufacturer, type, voltage, etc) and
operating environment data.
Software agent will create the report and send out
additional mobile agents to the distributed information
sources for collecting the data.
Generated report is in Extensible Markup Language
(XML) format and contains only the necessary information
about the failure report (e.g. HTML or PDF).

Circuit Breaker Monitoring

Helpful in monitoring the status and events of circuit breakers.

After monitoring starts, the selected events will be registered with the
mobile agent server running on the corresponding substation
concentrator.
The concentrator can get the real-time information about breakers by
communicating with sensors.
It can notify the user when the selected type of event happens.

16

Security Consideration

The mobile agents need to be authenticated and authorized

at the servers.
Data Integrity is highly essential.
The mobile agent server can control agent's access to
resources depending on both the user identification and
server permits.
Software provides options to encrypt the data when it is in
transit and thus prevents others tampering with the data.

Security Issue Report

Logging and Experience

Sharing
Software

agents may help in logging and

sharing maintenance experience.
The recorded experience can be saved in a
case-based reasoning system for future
retrieving.

19

Conclusions
Suitable

for application of maintenance practice

due to its support for heterogeneous systems,
security, distributed events, low-bandwidth usage
etc.
Using the mobile agent software, the development
work can be greatly simplified.
Also, agent-based software architecture makes the
application more flexible and upgradable.
