                            Call for papers

       International Journal of Engineering Intelligent Systems

                          a special Issue on

      Intelligent Systems Applications on Power System Protection

Murari M. Saha  	ABB Network Partner AB, Sweden 
Bogdan Z. Kasztenny  	The Technical University of Wroclaw, Poland

Scope
-----

    A modern power system, apart from telecommunication systems, is
one of the largest complexes constructed and operated by a man both in
terms of geographical distances (thousands of kilometers) and
generated and transmitted power (thousands of millions of watts). Such
as system needs precise and miscellaneous control with protection
functions as primary due to the top priority safety reasons.
Generally, a protection system is a kind of �neural� complex that
watches a �muscle� element of a power system and protects both this
element from damage and the rest of a system from induced
disturbances.

    Initially, protective relays used to be built in
electro-mechanical technology; to shift, after invention of a
transistor, to electronic analog circuits; and finally, some fifteen
years ago, after spreading cheap and reliable enough microprocessors,
they switched to digital technology. Furthermore, few years ago the
scientific efforts in leading research centers have switched from the
approaches born in the era of electro-mechanical relays to Artificial
Intelligence (AI) methods. Researchers identified the task performed
by any protective relay as pattern recognition with only two classes
of patterns: internal faults and other conditions. Consequently, the
appropriate AI methods are being investigated and implemented in power
system protection. The proposed techniques include expert systems,
artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, Petri nets, genetic
algorithms, and others.

    Because of the growing importance of this area as well as
increasing number of published papers, the International Journal of
Engineering Intelligent Systems is planning a special issue on
Intelligent Systems Applications on Power System Protection for Fall
1997. We solicit both theoretical and applied papers describing the
state-of-art in this area. Theoretical papers should provide clear
motivation discussing how the stated results are applicable in real
protection problems.
