Knowledge-based systems as operational aids in power system restoration

The background of power system restoration is analyzed and how this process might benefit from the use of knowledge-based systems is discussed. After describing the state of the art of knowledge-based systems for power system restoration, efforts are made to review knowledge-based techniques to handle system restoration problems. The experiences of system development are reported and evaluation of the systems is addressed. Some needed technological innovations are listed that are required before knowledge-based systems can extensively be applied to power system restoration.<
