Wenping Li is a notable inventor based in Fulshear, Texas, who has made significant contributions to the field of power restoration technologies. With a total of three patents to his name, he has developed innovative methods that enhance the efficiency of power restoration processes.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Restoration Switching Analysis with Modified Genetic Algorithm." This method focuses on determining back-feed paths to efficiently solve multi-layer restoration problems. By minimizing a fitness function using an iterative genetic algorithm, the method optimizes back-feeding of out-of-service areas while minimizing power loss, switching, unserved loads, and voltage/current violations. The efficiency of this algorithm is further enhanced through the use of a reactive Tabu search, which prevents duplicate candidate systems.

Another significant patent by Wenping Li is "Restoration Switching Analysis with Genetic Algorithm." This method generates switching plans to restore power to out-of-service areas after fault isolation through back feeding. A chromosome architecture is defined to create chromosomes that represent candidate post-restoration systems. These chromosomes are evaluated and genetically altered repeatedly until an acceptable solution is identified, which outlines a plurality of switching operations that back feed power to the out-of-service areas in the most optimal manner.
