Summary on Grant Application Form
The research activity within this project will lead to the creation of a model based reasoning (MBR) methodology and PC based tool-set. This will be applied to the on-line and post-event validation and diagnosis of power system protection, interpreting the data available from the increasing number of fault recording systems (including protection relays with fault recording capabilities) and data sources that are being deployed throughout electrical networks.MBR uses models of a system's behaviour as the basis of a validation and diagnostic process. It is a computational intelligence method suited to power industry diagnostic tasks as it is based upon the use of accurate models of plant and systems to simulate their expected behaviour, which capitalises upon the engineering models and modelling packages available. The technique is not widely implemented due to a number of limitations within the methods and systems developed. These deficiencies will be the subject of research activities leading to the development of a robust and extensible model based reasoning methodology that can be applied for on-line and post-event diagnostic tasks. Further novel features of this research will be the integration of diverse model types into the MBR tool-set and the combination of different MBR approaches.
