Distribution planning using a knowledge-based expert system
- National Taiwan Univ., Taipei (Taiwan). Dept. of Electrical Engineering
An expert system is designed for determining substation locations and feeder configuration of a distribution system. By incorporating the heuristic rules currently followed by distribution engineers into the knowledge base, the expert system can benefit from system planners' experience in its problem-solving process. To minimize the feeder losses of the distribution plan, a novel approach, usually referred to as the location-allocation method, is proposed to determine substation locations. The expert system is implemented using the artificial language PROLONG and is designed to be used interactively. The developed expert system is applied to the planning of a distribution system in Taiwan. Test results indicate that the expert system is both efficient and user friendly in reaching the final distribution plan.
