A knowledge-based approach to optimize switching in substations

Automatic sequence switching has been an important pursuit in the field of substation automation. An intelligent approach to the optimization of switching sequences in electric substations is presented. The optimal sequence switching problem is stated. A knowledge-based model of a substation switch network organized in a trilevel hierarchical structure is suggested, and a set of basic techniques suitable for the general task of network reorganization is given. An intelligent optimal sequence switching strategy for substations based on modeling techniques is presented. An expert system in Prolog used to formalize the sequence of switching operation and application in substations is described.<
