The application of association rule mining in power system restoration

Abstract

The paper introduced the attempt to apply the association rule mining (ARM) method to discovering heuristic rules for power system restoration (PSR) to guide a fast restoration process. In order to employ the popular algorithms of ARM, the process of PSR is represented as a series of actions out of a finite action set. The interesting attributes of each action are mapped as items and the actions are mapped as transactions. Fuzzy set and clustering method are adopted to evaluate the performance of individual action. A sample test is given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method
