Artificial Intelligence Applications in Electrical Transmission and Distribution Systems Protection

Artificial intelligence (AI) can successfully help in solving real-world problems in power transmission and distribution systems because AI-based schemes are fast, adaptive, and robust and are applicable without any knowledge of the system parameters. This book considers the application of AI methods for the protection of different types and topologies of transmission and distribution lines. It explains the latest pattern-recognition-based methods as applicable to detection, classification, and location of a fault in the transmission and distribution lines, and to manage smart power systems including all the pertinent aspects.

FEATURESProvides essential insight on uses of different AI techniques for pattern recognition, classification, prediction, and estimation, exclusive to power system protection issuesPresents an introduction to enhanced electricity system analysis using decision-making toolsCovers AI applications in different protective relaying functionsDiscusses issues and challenges in the protection of transmission and distribution systemsIncludes a dedicated chapter on case studies and applicationsThis book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals in electrical power system protection, stability, and smart grids.
