Power system restoration using expert system technique

A prototype Expert System is developed using CLIPS package considering the power system operator's heuristic together with the aid of load flow calculations. Sets of facts about system operation and rules are extracted, the goal of which is to find, very fast, all available Restoration Plans, which assist the operators in making fast judgment, to restore the power supply without overloading any transmission line. Beside system restoration rules, both topology identification rules and searching rules are included. The developed ES is applied to a part of the 66KV transmission network in Cairo, Egypt.
