Expert System used for Power Quality and Environmental Impact Assessment

Abstract—This paper presents an expert system used for power quality monitoring, transferred from power generation sector up to power delivery within the Romanian power market. First of all, the system allows the analysis of methods and means for making all maintenance works within substations, belonging to TRANSELECTRICA S.A., the National Company for Power Transmission, at high efficiency. Secondly, the system allows the high voltage facilities environmental impact assessment. Using a fuzzy logic based algorithm, it provides efficient measures in order to ensure the environmental parameters’ quality, both local and regional. As a case study, a representative power substation within the Romanian Power System (Brasov Substation) is used. Keywords-expert system; fuzzy logic; power quality; monitoring; environment; power market. I
