The results of OCP are displayed in network diagrams and tabular displays. Distribution Security Analysis (DSA) The objective of this application is to see the inuence of faults (unplanned outages) as well as planned outages on the security of the distribution network. DSA assesses N-1 security in all meshed parts of the distribution network Security of simplied restoration procedures based on the current reserve Security of reconguration scenarios (back-feed, coupling of substations, etc.) Security of pre-dened restoration procedures Security of scheduled switching procedures DSA simulates single, multiple and cascading/conditional faults as well as outages of distributed generation. Expert system applications The Spectrum Power expert system supports the operator in solving critical and complex tasks in the eld of network operation and disturbance analysis (g. 7.2-16). Spectrum Power expert system applications provide two functions, an intelligent alarm processor (IAP) and an expert system for Advanced Network Operation (ANOP). The IAP provides information about the fault location in case of a network disturbance. It is based upon a hierarchical, multi-level problem-solving architecture that combines model-based and heuristic techniques, and works with an object-oriented data structure. Within the diagnosis, the IAP determines the location and the type of disturbances in electrical networks, e.g., fault within a transformer. The model used by the IAP corresponds to the model of the protection system. This provides the additional advantage of monitoring the correct operation of the protection system. The diagnosis results are displayed in the XPS report list. Advanced Network Operation (ANOP) This system supports the following network operations of the operator: Automatically triggered operations for: Automatic fault isolation and restoration Automatic removal of overload Manually triggered operations for: Manual fault isolation and restoration (trigger fault) Planned outage (take out of Service) Load relax Resupply (energizing) The algorithm of ANOP manages all types of distribution networks for cities or provinces, small networks or large networks with radial congurations and also with looped congurations. It can be used in telemetered networks as well as in non-telemetered networks. The algorithm is fully generic, considers the actual network status (topology, values, tagging), and provides an authentic and extensive solution for the given task, taking

into account all electrical and operational requirements. The algorithm develops the best strategy for the given situation and considers all necessary steps to reach a solution that fulls the task in a secure, complete and efcient way. With the help of the built-in power ow, each step is checked; tagged equipment is respected. The proposed solution changes the actual topology of the network in a minimal way. In the exceptional case in which a complete solution is not available under the actual circumstances, a partial solution is evaluated, again taking into account all electrical and operational requirements. The results are displayed in the XPS report list and in the XPS balance list, and a switching procedure is created and inserted in the switching procedure management.
