Knowledge Discovery in the Smart Grid - A Machine Learning Approach

Abstract

The increased availability of cheaper sensing technologies, the implementation of fibre-optic networks, the availability of cheaper data storage repositories, and development of powerful machine learning models are fundamental components that provide a new facet to the concept of the Smart Power Grid. An important element in the Smart Grid concept is predicting potential fault events in the Smart Power Grid, or better known as fault prognostics. This paper discusses an approach that uses machine learning methods to discover fault event-related knowledge from historical data and helps in the prognostics of fault events in power grids and critical and expensive components such as power transformers circuit breakers, and others.
