The document discusses using an artificial neural network (ANN) approach for fault diagnosis in power systems. It provides background on power system faults, protective systems, and artificial intelligence techniques. The key aspects covered are:
1) An auto-configuring radial basis function network (RBFN) type of ANN is proposed for fault diagnosis. RBFN can identify faults faster and more reliably than other methods.
2) A sample power system is modeled and different fault scenarios are used to generate training data for the RBFN.
3) The RBFN is trained and tested on the data to demonstrate its ability to accurately diagnose faults in the power system.
