Electric power system's steady-state security analysis applying the Rough Set Theory considering an incomplete information system

In this paper it is applied a Rough Set approach that takes into account an incomplete information system to study the steady-state security of an electric power system. The Rough Set Theory has been conceived as a tool to conceptualize, organize and analyze various types of data, in particular, to deal with inexact, uncertain or vague knowledge. The knowledge acquisition process is a complex task, since the experts have difficulty to explain how to solve a specified problem. So, an incomplete set of relevant information may arise. The study presents a systematic approach to transform examples in a reduced set of rules. These rules can be used successfully to avoid security problems and provides a deeper insight into the influence of parameters on the steady-state system performance.
