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

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.<
