This paper presents a fault diagnosis expert system for 765kV substation. The proposed system includes the topology processor and intelligent alarm processing subsystems. This expert system estimates the fault section through the inference process using heuristic knowledge and the output of topology processor and intelligent alarm processing system. The rule-base of this expert system is composed of basic rules suggested by Korea Electric Power Corporation and heuristic rules. This expert system is developed using PROLOG language. Also, user friendly Graphic User Interface is developed using visual basic programming in the windows XP environment. The proposed expert system showed a promising performance through the several case studies.
