The development of power system restoration method for a bulk power system by applying knowledge engineering techniques

Abstract

A prototype expert system for bulk power system restoration is discussed. Restoration of a bulk power system involves operation of equipment that is complexly inter-related. For this reason, object-oriented programming techniques using a frame representation of knowledge and heuristics has been adopted to achieve efficient processing. The use of knowledge representation and processing is described, and the restoration process is examined. A prototype system that has successfully satisfied the requirements of speed, stability and flexibility is described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
