State-of-the-Art Overview on Data Mining in Power Systems

This paper presents an overview on applications of data mining to power systems. DM plays an important role to extract rules or knowledge through database. Power systems have complicated characteristics due to the nonlinearity. To grasp the nonlinear relationship between input and output variables, the data mining techniques help power system operators to smooth power system operation and planning. In this paper, they are overviewed from a standpoint of methodologies and applications
