Abstract: HOLMES (Heuristic On Line Monitoring Expert System) is an expert system for fault diagnosis and restoration planning in industrial power systems. HOLMES was designed to be installed in the plant control room near the SCADA system (Supervisory, Control And Data Acquisition) to assist the human operators during emergencies. The main goal is to locate the fault, beginning from the effects in the whole power system and going back along the propagation chain. The paper describes the problems that the expert system faces and the structure designed to find a solution, focusing on its knowledge representation based on Petri nets.
Keywords: heuristic online monitoring expert system; fault diagnosis; industrial power system network restoration; supervisory; control; data acquisition; fault locating; net-based knowledge representation.
