Description
Summary:In the future, as populations grow and more end-user applications become available, the current traditional electrical distribution substation will not be able to fully accommodate new applications that may arise. Consequently, there will be numerous difficulties, including network congestion, latency, jitter, and, in the worst-case scenario, network failure, among other things. Thus, the purpose of this study is to assist decision makers in selecting the most appropriate communication technologies for an electrical distribution substation through an examination of the criteria�s in-fluence on the selection process. In this study, nine technical criteria were selected and processed using machine learning (ML) software, RapidMiner, to find the most optimal technical criteria. Several ML techniques were studied, and Na�ve Bayes was chosen, as it showed the highest performance among the rest. From this study, the criteria were ranked in order of importance from most important to least important based on the average value obtained from the output. Seven technical criteria were identified as being important and should be evaluated in order to determine the most appropriate communication technology solution for electrical distribution substation as a result of this study. � 2022 by the authors.
