Abstract

In this paper the distribution electric system reliability is recognized like an artificial intelligence problem. How this idea is applied in evaluation of reliability is detailed. Concepts as Intelligence Matrix and Inter-feeder Route are defined. From the last one a reliability prediction strategy for medium voltage networks is proposed and tested.
