Orchestrating Power Grid Studies with Multi-Agent AI and MCP Servers
On the map: LLM agents and tool use → Financial trading and forecasting agents
Abstract (arXiv)
This position paper explores how Agentic AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) can support power-grid studies in a Transmission System Operator (TSO) context. We focus on integrating Large Language Models with numerical simulation tools, structured workflows, and human supervision. We identify key industrial requirements for agent assisted grid studies and introduce pypowsybl-mcp, an MCP-based interface exposing selected capabilities of our simulation tool, pypowsybl to AI agents. This first step provides a testbed to study how agents can setup simulations, execute analyses, retrieve results, and interact with power-system simulators through standardized tool calls. We also discuss principles for human-in-the-loop, multi-agent workflows and outline an evaluation strategy combining technical metrics and practitioner feedback. The paper positions MCP-based tool integration as a step toward more interactive, auditable, and scalable grid-study environments.
