using an error back propagation algorithm similar to the BP algorithm for artificial neural networks. The fault diagnosis models don’t vary with the change of the network structure, so they can be applied to any transmission power system. Furthermore, they have clear semantics, rapid reasoning, powerful error tolerance ability and no convergence problem during the diagnosing procedure. Experimental tests show that the approach is feasible and efficient, so the prototype program based on the approach is promising to be used in a large transmission power system for on-line fault diagnosis.

This paper presents an application method of Bayesian networks (BN) to the reliability assessment of power systems. Bayesian networks provide a flexible framework to represent probabilistic information and to make inference on it. Uncertainty and dependency of the components' information in a system are easily incorporated in the analysis. The flexibility of the probabilistic nference algorithms in Bayesian networks permit to compute both the system's reliability indices and the mutual affection on reliability indices of all components. However, a BN cannot be constructed easily based on the topology of the relating power system. The paper gives a new method to construct a Bayesian network based on the assessed system's fault tree or its minimal path set. The method is efficient and can compute components failure probabilities on the condition of the system failure. Its advantages are demonstrated through two examples.

This paper proposes a cooperative protection system with a multi-agent system, which could adapt protection functions to the complicated changes in the power system automatically and intelligently. In the cooperative protection system, multi-agent system allows the cooperation between plural numbers of equipments. Some agents stay in one place and collect local power system information such as current and voltage data. Other agents move about to utilize data or functions installed in other equipment. The cooperation of multi-agent enables the flexible utilization of all hardware resources by any equipment, so that various adaptive protection functions are realized. Simulation of the proposed method has been applied to some typical protection function, i.e. overcurrent protection function. The results showed that the cooperative protection system could achieve the optimum protection capability. Although many practical aspects need to be thoroughly studied, it is quite promising to realize the adaptive protection using the multi-agent technology.
