Dempster-Shafer Reasoning in Protection Scheme Selection

Dempster-Shafer 추론을 이용한 보호방식 선택

This paper presents a preliminary study of introduction of the Dempster-Shafer inexact reasoning method to the expert system for the power system design problem. A brief review of Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is presented and development of an inference engine adopting the Dempster-Sharer theory is reported. Developed inference engine has a ability of handling both the confirming and disconfirming knowledge represented in the production rule, and has a general purpose application in the design and diagnosis problems. Its applicability has been tested on the problem of the protection scheme selection, one of the typical design problem and we believe, it has shown the feasibility of adoption of the inexact reasoning methodology into the design problem.
