A weighted corrective fuzzy reasoning spiking neural P system for fault diagnosis in power systems with variable topologies

This paper focuses on power system fault diagnosis based on Weighted Corrective Fuzzy Reasoning Spiking Neural P Systems with real numbers (rWCFRSNPSs) to propose a graphic fault diagnosis method, called FD-WCFRSNPS. In the FD-WCFRSNPS, an rWCFRSNPS is proposed to model the logical relationships between faults and potential warning messages triggered by the corresponding protective devices. In addition, a matrix-based reasoning algorithm for the rWCFRSNPS is devised to reason about the fault alarm messages using parallel representations. Besides, a layered modeling method based on rWCFRSNPSs is developed to adapt to topological changes in power systems and a Temporal Order Information Processing Method based on Cause–Effect Networks is designed to correct fault alarm messages before the fault reasoning. Finally, in a case study considering a local subsystem of a 220kV power system, the diagnosis results of five test cases prove that the proposed FD-WCFRSNPS is viable and effective
