Application of Computer Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Analyzing the Status of Typical Utility Electrical Power Plant Systems

Abstract

The capabilities of the computer have increased from data manipulation and computation to controlling industrial robots and assisting in heuristics consultations through the use of artificial intelligence techniques. This paper will describe the application of artificial intelligence (Al) techniques to a mature technology, specifically utility electrical power plant systems. The considerations inherent in proceeding with the deployment of Al techniques in the form of an Expert System will be presented and opportunities for improvements in this application will be discussed.
