Application of Knowledge Engineering methods in Electrical Engineering - A hypothesis for potential TRIZ usage

Increasing need of innovative solutions for existing engineering systems has brought interest of engineers towards systematic innovation. While highlighting effective use of Artificial intelligence (AI) tools, the potential for emerging approach of knowledge engineering- Theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) has been discussed in this paper. This review seeks to affirm the potential application of knowledge engineering emerging tools, for effective solution hunting space in electrical engineering problems. An extensive collection of literature has been covered to develop the hypothesis about benefits of systematic innovation for electrical engineers. Merits of innovative and systematic approach over traditional solution approach in existing industries are highlighted through reference of scientific literature.
