Application of artificial intelligence in the design of low voltage electrical system

To automate the design and assessment of low voltage distribution network, an easy-to-use prototype is developed to provide an AI approach to complete a sound design and analysis within a short time. Due to the maturity and diversity of the design techniques available in a LV system, heuristic rules are developed along with the optimization algorithms, graphical user interface and data visualization. The object-oriented database is used to store the design element and the completed designed network. The design rules and facts are represented in the object-oriented lookup database or hard-coding design procedures, which contains the heuristic rules, the meta-rules and also rules on how to automate the drawing of single-line diagrams. All the design element data, knowledge on the code of practice, design rules can be viewed and updated at run-time. A practical application of intelligent system is demonstrated
