Abstract

This paper presents a new decision support system that has been developed to aid electrical utilities in diagnosing, evaluating, and planning repairs of faults during service outages. The system, called the Integrated Distribution Management System (IDMS), provides both a diagnostics component and an easily configurable integration framework. The IDMS is a cost-effective solution for fault management in small to medium sized utilities
