Towards the development of PC-based intelligent alarm processor in China Light and Power Company

This paper describes the initial experiences of CLP in the development of an intelligent alarm processor integrating with the existing real-time energy management system (EMS). The system adopts a commercially available knowledge-based software package which runs on a personal computer platform. Ease of implementation, minimum interference to real-time system and low cost are the characteristics of the system. Special consideration has been given to minimizing the maintenance burden on the power system topology. The system adopts a hypothesis-based approach in modeling the dispatcher´s interpretation process during power system disturbance. Initial testing of the system produces satisfactory results. The system will be put into real-time operation after some further enhancements
