Taking distributed generator（DG） operating characteristics and load control features into consideration， a multi-agent method is proposed for quick fault restoration of the distribution network. The multi-agent system consists of the important load agent， global load control agent， distributed generator agents and microgrid agent. The blackboard model is used to build a coordination mechanism among the agents， each playing its part in seeking a solution. The blackboard model organizes and coordinates the agentsbehavior and enhances the information availability via the information update and store processes， not only realizing parallel calculation among the agents， but also avoiding information retention due to the out-of-sync state. The blackboard and knowledge sources are designed. Test results show that this method is highly efficient in giving an accurate and fast restoration strategy.
