Development of a guidance method for power system restoration

A guidance method for restorative control that gives operators an appropriate restoration plan and restorative procedures is proposed. The approach combines the knowledge engineering technology with conventional programming. The resulting architecture gives various kinds of flexibility. It is possible to modify the restoration plan automatically if unexpected occurrences such as faults happen, and an operator's changes to the proposed plan are accepted. A prototype based on this model has shown very satisfactory results.<
