    摘要: A computer implemented method uses a database of detailed, comprehensive utility operating and financial information. The method comprises: (1) feature based matching or similarity based benchmark and focus group selection; (2) a performance assessment procedure comprising multi-perspective analysis; and (3) multi-attribute business profiling and performance improvement potential analysis. As part of the performance assessment step, data corresponding to different utilities in a selected benchmark group are compared with each other to find their strengths and weaknesses. Interpretation of these gaps provides the cause of such gaps. Composite ranking analysis is used so that a composite score of at least one utility business is obtained.

    摘要: Methodologies adjust a component failure rate for electric power network reliability analysis. A component may include subcomponents and the failure of each subcomponent may be feature dependent. Features are measurable or observable inputs, which can affect the life of one or more subcomponents. The failure rate of a particular component may be obtained according to its real conditions. The methodologies can be used to do condition-based reliability analysis for electric power networks, in order to obtain a maintenance/replacement/operation strategy.

    摘要: A method and system restores power in a power distribution network. The network includes a plurality of power sources, a plurality of loading zones, a plurality of switching devices interconnected between the plurality of power sources and the plurality of loading zones, and an intelligent electronic device associated with each of the plurality of switching devices to control the switching devices. A base network state is defined and a power restoration logic is created for the base network state. A simulation is run for the power restoration logic and then the power restoration logic is transmitted to a power restoration controller which thereafter monitors and controls the intelligent electronic devices.

    摘要: A method for generating switching plans to restore power to out-of-service areas after fault isolation through back feeding. A chromosome architecture is defined to create chromosomes representing candidate post-restoration systems. The chromosomes are evaluated are repeatedly genetically altered until an acceptable solution is identified. The solution identifies a plurality of switching operations that back feed power to the out-of-service areas in the most optimal manner.

    摘要: The method of determining back-feed paths is capable of efficiently solving multi-layer restoration problems by minimizing a fitness function using an iterative genetic algorithm. The method optimizes back-feeding of out-of-service areas by minimizing power loss, switching, unserved loads and voltage/current violations. The efficiency of the algorithm is further increased through the use of a reactive Tabu search to prevent duplicate candidate systems.
