Abstract

An expert system configuration is developed which can be used as a money saving online controller in cooperation with the input/output interface unit. It also can be used in the distribution system planning stage. The proposed optimum reactive power compensation (ORPC) expert system utilizes the human experts (HE) heuristics rules as well as the technical literature expertise (TLE) such as algorithms and formulae to build the knowledge base of the system. The distribution system component data and network topography are stored in the database. The distribution system voltage profile is kept within the desired limits by proper choice of both shunt capacitors and voltage regulators
