Abstract :
Expert systems have found widespread use in alarm processing, short term load forecasting, power system planning, economic dispatch and contingency analysis. Expert systems need a precise description of the power system using a lot of consistent rules. Research going on in this field is aimed at making the expert system adaptive by making it learn from new experiences. This challenge could possibly be met by embedding expert systems with neural networks. With research in the field of evolutionary computations, the prospects for expert systems seem bright. If these ventures are successful, there will probably be much more efficient and reliable power systems. Thus, expert systems seem to be promising for power systems.
