Abstract (EN): Power system restoration (PSR) is a very important procedure to ensure the consumer supply. In this paper, a decentralized multi-agent system (MAS) for dealing with the microgrid restoration procedure is proposed. In this method, each agent is associated with a consumer or microsource (MS) and these communicate with each other to reach a common decision. The agents solve a 0/1 knapsack problem to determine the best load connection sequence during the microgrid restoration procedure and then the proposed MAS is tested in one specific scenario where the microgrid is subjected to a blackout that occurred. This means that all the resources and loads are disconnected. This work is developed in Matlab/Simulink environment and the results show its feasibility and effectiveness in the microgrid restoration procedure.
