Scope Statement:
The Working Group on "New Intelligent System Techniques" investigates newly developed and evolving intelligent system approaches as related to applications for problem solving in power system engineering. New and evolving methodologies include developments in expert systems, artificial neural nets, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computing, machine learning, intelligent agents, model-based reasoning. The working group seeks to provide a service to the power engineering community that facilitates the introduction and dissemination of these new methodologies.
The working group organizes activities on developing intelligent system approaches through the sponsorship of technical sessions, tutorial courses, workshops, conferences and other activities for effective dissemination of the state-of-the-art. This working group coordinates activities on new intelligent system techniques with other groups in IEEE Power Engineering Society and other technical organizations including CIGRE.

Scope Statement:
The Working Group on "Practical Applications of Intelligent System Technologies" investigates issues related to practical applications of intelligent system methodologies and tools for problem solving in power system engineering. Among the issues to be investigated are: (1) requirements for practical applications, e.g., compatibility with existing energy management systems, execution time in the real-time environment, data & memory requirements, (2) practical experience in the use of intelligent system tools and their development tools, e.g., cost/benefits of the tools, and other technical or non-technical issues. These factors need to be investigated fully to help achieve a wide impact of the technologies in the power industry. The intelligent system techniques include expert systems, knowledge engineering, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, machine learning, evolutionary algorithms and heuristic search methods.
The Working Group organizes activities on the application of intelligent system methods and tools to power system engineering. This working group sponsors technical sessions, tutorial courses, workshops, conferences and other activities for effective dissemination of the state-of-the-art information within the technical area of the working group. This working group coordinates activities on intelligent system applications with other groups in IEEE Power Engineering Society and other technical organizations including CIGRE.

Scope Statement:
This task force will study the fault analysis issues to identify requirements for intelligent system applications in this area. Definitions of the fault analysis will be given; required equipment identified and implementation strategies will be developed. Potential benefits to the utilities in the new environment will also be discussed. The final outcome will be reports providing results of the study and examples of existing solutions. Several panel sessions will be organized to communicate the results.
