Abstract

A Knowledge based expert system is a computer program that emulates the reasoning process of a human expert in a specific problem domain. Expert system has the potential to solve a wide range of problems which require knowledge about the problem rather than a purely analytical approach. This papaer presents the application of knowledge based expert system to power system fault diagnosis. The contents of expert system develpped in this paper is judgement of fault section from a given alarm sets and production of all possible hypothesis for the single fault. Both relay failures and circuit breaker failures are considered simultaneously. Although many types of relay are used in actual system, experts recognize ones as several typical signals corresponding to the fault types. Therefore relays are classified into several types. The expert system is written in an artificial intelligence language "PROLOG" . Best-first search method is used for problem solving. Both forward chaining and backward chaining schemes are used in reasoning process. The application to a part of actual power system proves the availability of the developed expert system.
