Applications of artificial intelligence in electrical power systems

What are the applications of artificial intelligence for power electronic systems?

Abstract: This article gives an overview of the artificial intelligence (AI) applications for power electronic systems. The three distinctive life-cycle phases, design, control, and maintenance are correlated with one or more tasks to be addressed by AI, including optimization, classification, regression, and data structure exploration.

Can artificial intelligence be used for distribution power system operation?

This paper provides a systematic overview of some of the most recent studies applying artificial intelligence methods to distribution power system operation published during the last 10 years. Based on that, a general guideline is developed to support the reader in finding a suitable AI technique for a specific operation task.

How can artificial intelligence help electric power operations?

Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support operational personnel in monitoring and decision-making minimizes staff workload and enhances incident response efficiency . This convergence of electric power operations and AI represents a significant trend in recent years.

How does artificial intelligence affect power systems?

As different artificial intelligence (AI) techniques continue to evolve, power systems are undergoing significant technological changes with the primary goal of reducing computational time, decreasing utility and consumer costs and ensuring the reliable operation of an electrical power system.

What are the applications of AI in power electronics?

The applications of four categories of AI are discussed, which are expert system, fuzzy logic, metaheuristic method, and machine learning. More than 500 publications have been reviewed to identify the common understandings, practical implementation challenges, and research opportunities in the application of AI for power electronics.

How AI is used in power generation?

With regard to the planning of power generation, AI applications have been widely used in siting tasks, for example using genetic algorithms (AI domain “Planning”) or Analytical Hierarchy Processes (AHP – AI domain “Reasoning”) to site wind power plants [34, 62] or to locate power-to-gas plants . 5.4.2.
