The power sector of Bangladesh is presently experiencing essential changes as demand for power services is increasing with rising population and economic development. With a gradual shift from a rigidly centralized structure to a more decentralized and fluid setup, fundamentally because of the enormous advancement of distributed renewable energy sources, the future power system of the nation requires new control strategies to work efficiently and sustainably in the face of evolving conditions and constraints. Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) technology has attributes that meet these prerequisites of modern power systems and has been shown to be effective in dealing with its distributed and complex nature. This is a literature-based feasibility study to explore whether MAS technology is suited to be applied in the context of Bangladesh. For this preliminary paper, we look at the topic from a holistic perspective and conduct a meta-review to curate common applications of Multi-Agent System-based concepts, tools and algorithms on the power and energy sector. We also identify the top challenges of this domain in Bangladesh and connect the potential MAS-based solutions to address each challenge. Our qualitative assessment is motivated to provide a starting point for local researchers eager to experiment with MAS technology for application in Bangladesh.
