Domain specific languages in power systems engineering

Abstract

This paper proposes an information system for data mining that allows the specification of ad-hoc queries on a data warehouse, which contain historical information relative to exceptions (i.e., operating faults) recorded by a SCADA system in a power distribution network. The proposed application can be used by the power system engineers to explore the existent historical data, with no need for any “low level” programming expertise. The data-oriented architecture of the system provides important advantages related to application development and system maintainability.
