Through the dissolved gas analysis (DGA) in transformer oil, the fault of the power transformer can be diagnosed. However, the DGA method has the disadvantage of low accuracy because it couldn’t exactly reflect the nonlinear relationship between the characteristic gases and fault types. Radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) has the advantage of dealing with complex nonlinear problems, so it can be applied to transformer fault diagnosis based on DGA. The centers, widths and weights has important effects on the performance of the RBFNN. However, it is difficult to find the global optimal solution of these parameters when RBFNN training. This paper creatively designs a method to improve these parameters of RBFNN, firstly using the K-means algorithm to optimize the centers and widths of RBFNN, then using the genetic algorithm-backpropagation (GA-BP) algorithm optimize the weights. Finally, establish the K-means RBF-genetic backpropagation (KRBF-GBP) algorithm model through a large amount of training data. The test results show that the fault diagnosis accuracy of the KRBF-GBP algorithm is 96.4%, higher than the unoptimized RBFNN with 71.43%.

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) in oil is an important method for transformer fault diagnosis. This paper use random forest parallelization algorithm to analysis the dissolved gases in transformer oil. This method can achieve a fast parallel fault diagnosis for power equipment. Experimental results of the diagnosis of parallelization of random forest algorithm with DGA samples show that this algorithm not only can improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis, and more appropriate for dealing with huge amounts of data, but also can meet the smart grid requirements for fast fault diagnosis for power transformer. And this result also verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm.

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is an effective tool for detecting incipient faults in power transformers. The ANSI/IEEE C57.104 standards, the most popular guides for the interpretation of gases generated in oil-immersed transformers, and the IEC-Duval triangle method are integrated to develop the proposed power transformer fault diagnosis method. The key dissolved gases, including H2, CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, and total combustible gases (TCG), suggested by ASTM D3612s instruction for DGA is investigated. The tested data of the transformer oil were taken from the substations of Taiwan Power Company. Diagnosis results with the text form called IEC-Duval triangle method show the validation and accuracy to detect the incipient fault in the power transformer.

Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is a popular method to detect and diagnose different types of faults occurring in power transformers. Improved three-ratio is an effective method for transformer fault diagnosis used in recent years. This paper applies appropriate Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to resolve the online fault diagnosis problems for oil-filled power transformer based on improved three-ratio. Because of the characteristic of improved three-ratio boundary is too absolute, a method using fuzzy math theory to deal with the data of the neural network input is also proposed. A major kind of neural network, i.e. radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), is used to model the fault diagnosis structure. In addition, to improve the convergence speed, an improved gradient descent algorithm is used in training RBFNN. Through on-line monitoring the concentrations of the dissolved gases, the proposed diagnostic system can offer a way to interpret the incipient faults. The simulation diagnosis demonstrates the effectiveness and veracity of the proposed method.

In recent years, improved three-ratio is an effective method for transformer fault diagnosis based on Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA). In this paper, a simple dynamic neural network named as diagonal recurrent neural network (DRNN) is used to resolve the online fault diagnosis problems for oil-filled power transformer based on DGA. Because of the characteristic of improved three-ratio boundary is lack of matching, fuzzy logic in fault diagnosis is presented also to deal with the data of the neural network inputs. DRNN is used to model the fault diagnosis structure, the fuzzy logic is used to improve the faults diagnose reliability. In addition, some cases are used to show the capability of the suggested method in oil-filled power transformers fault diagnosis.

Three-ratio of the IEC is a convenient and effective approach for transformer fault diagnosis in the dissolved gas analysis (DGA). Fuzzy theory is used to preprocess the three-ratio for its boundary that is too absolute. As the same time, an improved quantum genetic algorithm IQGA (QGASAC) is used to optimize the weight and threshold of the back propagation (BP). The local and global searching ability of the QGASAC approach is utilized to find the BP optimization solution. It can overcome the slower convergence velocity and hardly getting the optimization of the BP neural network. So, aiming at the shortcoming of BP neural network and three-ratio, blurring the boundary of the gas ratio and the QGASAC algorithm is introduced to optimize the BP network. Then the QGASAC-IECBP method is proposed in this paper. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm in this paper that both convergence velocity and veracity are all improved to some extent. And in this paper, the proposed algorithm is robust and practical.
