Abstract

To facilitate the implementation of restoration procedures in the event of a blackout, Consolidated Edison is considering the implementation of a knowledge-based restoration tool. This tool would not only guide operators through the execution of predefined procedures, but would also have the ability to adapt and modify these procedures if needed. These requirements can be met if the tool is built on top of a model of the power system and if it decomposes the procedure into components with an explicit or easily identifiable purpose. This tool has been developed and integrated with ConEd´s operator training simulator so that it can be used to train the operators in the restoration procedures. After evaluation it may be enhanced to become an on-line tool for use during an actual restoration
