SYSTEM FOR ANALYSING RELIABILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

摘要

A computer-implemented system analyzes user-inputted hypothetical situations of an electrical distribution network design and automatically interprets a need to conduct analyses that improve reliability of the electrical distribution network. The computer-implemented system includes a storage device, a controller configured to display and use a graphical user interface to prompt a user to answer one or more questions about the distribution network. The controller is configured to receive answers and data from the user and retrieve data corresponding to elements of the distribution network. Then, the controller automatically selects and runs one or more engineering analysis modules based on the received answers, performs a reliability analysis of the distribution network based on the retrieved network data, and poses hypothetical situations to the user to determine a distribution network design that improves reliability.
