Abstract - Power system restoration is a common technique used in the restoration of power by power companies. This involves laid down procedures which the system operator must follow. Due to the challenges encountered during power restoration process, the use of computer aided systems which create the power system restoration plan has become necessary. This research focuses on the use of artificial neural network in power system restoration. It throws more light on artificial neural network, the various types of artificial neural network, learning methods, its structure, strengths and its application in power system restoration. The artificial neural network develops the power system restoration plan used by the system operator for power restoration. This paper discussed majorly the Island restoration scheme which is most applicable when dealing with large transmission networks and works effectively with artificial neural network.

Key words: Power system; restoration; Island restoration scheme; artificial neural network; computer aided systems
