An expert system for security trend analysis of a stability-limited power system

摘要

An expert system for dynamic security assessment (DSA) is described in which artificial intelligence techniques are applied to the transient energy function (TEF) method. The effect of contingencies on the security level and its rate of change with changing system conditions and parameters are computed using the results of the TEF sensitivity analysis program. The expert system determines the loading trend and analyzes the data obtained from TEF to compute the trend of the security index. The trend of the control parameters can then be adjusted to maintain the security index within a range of safe values. An example is given using data collected from the Northern States Power Company (NSP) where the expert system correctly computed the security index and suggested adjustments to system parameters.
