Power System Topology Verification using Network Examinations and Artificial Neural Networks

The paper presents a method for power system topology verification. The topology verification is based on utilization of the purpose-defined indices, which are related to particular elements of a power network. When a topology error occurs, values of the considered indices constitute characteristic combination. The described method comprises the stage of verification on the basis of results of direct examination of the mentioned indices and the stage of verification with use of Artificial Neural Networks if it is required. In the paper the computational example of the utilization of the proposed method is presented. At the end, the features of the method are analysed.
