Abstract

Recent advances made in the development of expert systems lead to the major impact in teaching and learning environments. This paper describes an expert system for teaching voltage control in power systems. The expert system was implemented using a commercially available expert system shell Level5 Object. The major objective of the tool developed was to demonstrate the use of artificial intelligence in the field where practical knowledge and experience are very important. Voltage control in power systems provides this opportunity. The expert system calculates power load flows and bus voltages, simulates the system disturbances including changes in the power demand and network configuration, detects and corrects voltage violations and pro
