Automated Fault and Disturbance Analysis: Smart Analysis for Smart Grids

Serving as an introduction the general concepts of faults and disturbances in power systems, this handbook describes how intelligent systems technology can successfully be implemented to automate analysis and the methodology for differentiating faults and disturbances from normal operation. The author provides a justification for automation and looks at a variety of implementation and deployment strategies, while assessing future needs and developments for the industry by looking at recording equipment and reporting requirements.
