Abstract

In emergency and abnormal conditions, a power system operator has to deal with a large amount of data and apply the most appropriate remedial actions. However, due to emotional and psychological stress, an operator may not be able to adequately respond to critical conditions and make correct decisions. Mistakes can damage very expensive power system equipment or worse lead to the major emergencies and catastrophic situations. The intelligent systems can play an advisory role, suggesting the necessary actions which should be taken to clear a given emergency or abnormal condition. This paper outlines some experience obtained at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of the University of Tasmania in the development and implementation
