Distribution communication substructure fault analysis by data mining

The communication between control centers, contact centers, field technicians and customers have been changed in previous decade and traditional analogue communication devices have been being replaced by integrated digital systems. Nowadays communication and computer network substructures are vital to distribution companies because communication system interruption can disrupt majority of services. Therefore, it is necessary to control any situation which can threat communication system. Alborz province power distribution company uses data mining methods like classification and clustering in addition to quantitative statistics for analyzing historical fault data. The result of this study is useful for evaluating the effect of investment on reducing system disruption. In this paper, after introducing methods which were used in this study, the concise result of data mining was presented.
