Various properties of agents like self-organization, co-operation, autonomous behavior, and many others allow researchers to well represent the smart grid applications and models. From past few decades, various research attempts have been made in the smart grid domain by adopting the agent-based computing technology. The research publications are growing in number which makes it difficult to locate and identify the dynamics and trends in the research. Scientometric analysis is a useful tool to perform a comprehensive bibliographic review. It allows not only to understand the key areas of research but also provide visual representation of each entity involve in the research. In this study, we provide a detailed statistical as well as visual analysis of agent- based smart grid research by adopting complex network-based analytical approach. The study covers all scientific literature available online in Web of Science database. We are interested in identification of key papers, authors, and journals. Furthermore, we also investigate core countries, institutions, and categories. Keywords: smart grid; multi-agent systems; network modelling; scientometric analysis.

The agents have various behaviors like atomicity, communication, self-organization, co-operation etc. By developing agent-based models, one can easily represent any complex adaptive systems where the agent’s features are main concerns. In scientific literature, a number of studies have been done on the smart grid by making use of agent-based computing technology. Some of the key examples are as following. For example it is applied for demand response in (Kim, Zhang, Van Der Schaar, & Lee, 2016; Siebert, Sbicca, Aoki, & Lambert-Torres, 2017), smart home management (Dusparic, Harris, Marinescu, Cahill, & Clarke, 2013; G. Wang et al., 2017), electric vehicle chagrining and discharging (Golpayegani, Dusparic, Taylor, & Clarke, 2016; Jannati & Nazarpour, 2017; Yao, Lim, & Tsai, 2017). The agent-based smart grid systems can also be noted for appliance scheduling (Muralitharan, Sakthivel, & Shi, 2016), storage management (Ju et al., 2018; Lamedica, Teodori, Carbone, & Santini, 2015; Shirzeh, Naghdy, Ciufo, & Ros, 2015). These studies have shown the importance and utility of agent-based computing technology in the domain of smart grid. One key problem in scientific literature is that the research is growing very fast. From different countries and organization researchers make their contribution in the smart grid domain. In literature of smart grid, there are also several surveys and reviews papers, which provide a detailed analysis of the domain, available techniques, and tools. Some of the examples of surveys can be seen in (Rehmani, Davy, Jennings, & Assi, 2019; Risteska Stojkoska & Trivodaliev, 2017; Siano, 2014). Although there are numerous surveys and reviews in the domain, there exist one key problem that researchers are unable to understand and locate trends and dynamic of the domain. Another problem with these surveys is that they are outdated and target a specific requirement of the study. These surveys are unable to cover all the published work. A network modeling approach is a useful tool for bibliographic reviews. It allows not only the visual analysis but also a detailed statistical analysis of the domain. However, to the best of our knowledge, currently there exists no study on bibliographic analysis of the agent-based smart grid research. In this paper, we provide a detailed survey of the smart grid domain from agent-based perspective. We cover all studies currently available in the BRAIN. Broad Research in December, 2020 Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience Volume 11, Issue 4 202 domain on Web of Science database. This study adopts the network modeling approach- an approach of cognitive agent-based computing framework. The approach allows developing a network model, thus allows better understanding the domain in the form of network. Our key focus is on the analysis of key papers, journals, authors. We are also interested in the analysis of core countries, institutions, and categories. Methodology Data collection: The dataset was collected from the Thomson Reuters web of knowledge database in the period of 1992 to 2019. The input data was retrieved on 7 November 2019, by using extended topic search of smart grid domain from agent technology perspective. The following search key words were used in data collection. ● Agent-based modeling of smart grid ● Multi-agent systems in smart grid ● Modeling and simulation of smart grid We performed bibliographic search in different web of science databases included SCI-Expanded, SSCI, and A&HCI. Our results included different documents types such as articles, reviews, letters, and other editorial materials published in English language. Each record includes full information as document titles, author names, abstracts, and cited references. Our dataset contains a total of 3884 records. By addition of cited references, a total of 36317 nodes were counted. Tools and method: In this paper, we have adopted CiteSpace- a scientometrics analysis tool (Chen, 2014, 2016). The tool allows visual analysis of the citation network. It uses different colors that highlight details information about nodes and links of the citation network. CiteSpace offers tools and techniques for developing various complex networks based on years, time slice, centrality, and clustering. The developed network can be analyzed and various details information can be collected about a research domain. For example, based on the extracted network, we can get information about core authors, documents, and journals. Additionally, we can also analyze the top country, institutions, and category of a specific research topic and domain. The research method followed in our study is adapted from (M. A. K. Niazi, 2017). The methodology diagram is shown in Figure 1. First, we start by collecting bibliographic data of marketing domain from the web of science. For visual analysis, we use the CiteSpace network modeling tool. The State of the Art in Smart Grid Domain: A Network Modeling Approach Waseem AKRAM, et al. 203 Our analysis starts by developing network clusters. It is followed by an analysis of Journals in order to identify core Journals of Marketing domain. Our next research objective is to identify top articles, and most cited authors in marketing research studies. Additionally, our next focus is on the identification of core country, category, and institutions. Figure 1: Research method for bibliographic analysis of Marketing research adopted from (Farooq, Khan, Niazi, Leslie, & Hussain, 2018) Results We start with a basic look at the overall picture of bibliographic data retrieved from web of science. Figure 2 shows total publications by year. As we can see here, the use of agent technology in smart grid starts primarily in 2007. The research gradually was rising and in the period of 2015 to 2019 the research achieved a great attention from research community in the domain. In this period, more than 550 different research publications were observed. Figure 2: Total publications by year (Authors analysis on collected data from WoS) BRAIN. Broad Research in December, 2020 Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience Volume 11, Issue 4 204 The popularity of any research domain is based on number of citation of documents. Thus, we also needed to observe the citation phenomena in the domain in order to get deep insights of the domain advancement. Figure 3 shows total citations by year in smart grid domain using agents’ technology. Here, we can see that the citation starts with a very small number and gradually rising to almost 1000 citations in the year of 2018. Figure 3: Total citations by year (Authors analysis on collected data from WoS) 1. Identification of the largest cluster In this section, we present our first analysis to observe the big picture of the domain. In Figure 4 top clusters are displayed is a visual form. These clusters are formed using CiteSpace analysis tool. Each cluster is named based on index terms. In agent-based smart grid research, researchers work on different aspects of the domain. Here, we can see that the hottest area of research is “demand response management in the smart grid”. Next, machine learning techniques and agent-based systems are adopted in the domain. These techniques are utilized to develop an energy efficient system. Other research topics are voltage regulations and electric vehicles management. The detailed analysis of the largest clusters is given in the following. In Table 5, frequency-based document analysis is given. Here, we notice that the article (Mohsenian-Rad, Wong, Jatskevich, Schober, & Leon- Garcia, 2010) has the highest frequency among all cited articles. Next, (Fang, Misra, Xue, & Yang, 2012) is the most cited article in the domain. Following The State of the Art in Smart Grid Domain: A Network Modeling Approach Waseem AKRAM, et al. 205 by (Palensky & Dietrich, 2011), (Farhangi, 2010), (Gungor et al., 2013) and (Siano, 2014). These are top documents based on frequency in the smart grid domain. The detailed summary of the top clusters can be found in BRAIN. Broad Research in December, 2020 Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience Volume 11, Issue 4 206 Table 1. Cluster #0 contains 80 nodes in the year 2011. The mean silhouette score of this cluster is 0.626 indicate high homogeneity in the cluster. Cluster #1 has 50 node and 0.861 silhouette score in 2009. The mutual terms of this cluster are electric vehicles, charging and discharging. Cluster #2 has 49 nodes with 0.807 silhouette score which indicates homogeneity in the cluster. The average year of this cluster is 2014. Cluster #3 has 42 nodes and 0.784 silhouette score in the year 2009. This cluster shares research mostly on power line communication. Cluster #4 has 40 nodes and 0.719 silhouette score which indicate the homogeneity in the cluster in the year 2010. The terms controllable and smart home are used in this cluster.

The key focus of this review was to give an overview of the emerging trends and dynamic of the domain over time. In the following section, we discuss our key findings. Firstly, through cluster analysis, we found that cluster #0 was the largest cluster containing 80 nodes in the average year of 2011. The mutual index terms in this cluster were demand response, smart home and appliance scheduling. The articles by Mohsenian-rad AH, 2010 Fang X, 2012, are the key turning points in the domain. Our next analysis was to identify key journals, authors, countries, institutions, and subject’s categories. Our analysis produced various interesting results. Next, we discuss these analyses. In the analysis of key journals, we noted that the “IEEE Transaction on Smart Grid” has the largest number of highly cited papers in this domain. This journal also has most number of published articles in the domain. The journal “Nature” is the most central journal in the list. In the top cited-author analysis, we noted that “Wang C., 2011” has the strongest burst among all authors in the list. We also performed analysis of most cited authors and found that “Wang C, 2011” is mostly cited authors in the research of agent-based smart grid. His area of research is smart grid, physical system, wireless sensor network, and security. In the top countries analysis, we noted that “USA” is top country among all others based on frequency as well as citation. Others countries like China, Canada, Germany, and France are also actively work in the domain. On the analysis of top institutions, we noted that “Pacific NW NatLab” has strongest and longest citation burst in the duration of 2010 to 2014. Based on frequency, “North China Elect. Power University” is on the top among all other institutes. Based on centrality score, “Tsinghua University” has top the list. The analysis of top categories showed that the category “Engineering” leads over other categories with frequency 2744 and 0.40 centrality value. Category analysis showed that the work on agent-based computing of smart grid is multi-discipline. Engineer, computer scientist, physician, and environmental scientists all are working the domain.
