KNOWLEDGE-BASED BEHAVIOR INTERFACE - ITS APPLICATION TO POWER NETWORKRESTORATION SUPPORT SYSTEM

The characteristics of power system restoration (its combinational asp ects, use of knowledge from a wide variety of origins and of different types and number of criteria to satisfy) make it a difficult problem, As a solution, a number of research teams are considering the use of expert systems to generate restoration plans, Promising results have a lready been obtained. Yet most expert systems remain in the prototype stage.[1] One reason seems to be that the study of support systems for knowledge-based behavior (unable to describe with any rule) is insuff icient. This paper begins by analyzing power system restoration based on the human performance model [6] and discusses knowledge-based behav ior as a high conceptual level human performance to solve this problem with combinational aspects, The paper then reports on its application s to the trunk line power network dispatching center. Finally the pape r verifies the relation between knowledge-based behavior and designed human interfaces with a power network restoration case-study.
