Providing switching support for the flexible operation of transmission networks

In this paper, the authors present an approach for the capitalisation of switching knowledge centred around the creation of structured knowledge models in order to provide switching support for transmission networks. With this iterative process, the role of additional knowledge in the overall problem solving behaviour can be explicitly identified in the resulting models. This approach facilitates the incremental integration of knowledge that has originated from different sources, into a centralised framework which can be used for different purposes such as reference documentation, or specification of support systems.
