Abstract

With the rapid development of economy, the requirement for electricity supply is growing dramatically, and the consumers are claiming for higher power supply quality with less outage. Scheduled outage makes a major part of power outage, and it is mainly caused by power grid construction and power equipment maintenance. Scheduled outage has a lot of concerns, such as grid structure, potential outage loss, critical consumers or important occasions, and such factors are changing rapidly with the quick development of distribution network. As a result, the validation and optimization of scheduled outage becomes complicated. Rule engine[1] can describe business rules by pre-defined language, separate such rules from functional code[2], and execute them when trigger condition is satisfied. The application of rule engine can increase system adaptability to business variation, and decrease the system coupling and maintenance cost. With the application of rule engine in scheduled outage management, outage plan can be effectively validated and flexibly optimized, and the outage loss and consumer complaints could be significantly decreased.
