Artificial intelligence and neural network applications in power systems

This paper reviews the applications of artificial intelligence and neural networks in power engineering. It first reports areas in power systems that artificial intelligence has been applied to. It then summarises the artificial intelligence techniques which have been employed and makes suggestions for the improvement of existing artificial intelligence tools. Following this, the paper concentrates on neural networks and their applications to power systems. The multi-layer feedforward network is introduced and the problems in establishing neural network approaches based on this network for power system applications are discussed. Future themes for further development in artificial intelligence and neural network applications in power systems are proposed.<
