A novel approach of fault-influencing factors analysis for high-voltage switchgears quality supervision based on industrial big data

Fault-influencing factors analysis is an important part of the quality supervision process. There are double functions for high-voltage switchgears that switch off and protect electric circuits in power transmission lines. Such devices have serious impact on power grid–operating efficiency, factory operation, and resident life, which will cause economic losses. As it was difficult for traditional methods to analyze fault-influencing factors accurately and comprehensively, a novel method based on industrial big data was proposed to analyze high-voltage switchgears fault-influencing factors in the process of quality supervision in this article, which integrated the qualitative and quantitative analyses method. In this model, the Classification Based on Multiple Class-Association Rules based on Gaussian Mixture Model as the qualitative analysis method was adapted to analyze the whole life cycle of fault-influencing factors of high-voltage switchgears comprehensively, and supplied fault-influencing factors with discrete interval value ranges. The logistic regression method based on qualitative analysis was constructed to calculate fault occurrence probability quantitatively, including the single-fault occurrence probability and the multiple-faults joint occurrence probability. In addition, the single-fault occurrence probability was used to modify the discrete interval value ranges calculated by the qualitative analysis method, which could make the ranges more accurately. Consequently, the proposed method could provide important reference for high-voltage switchgears operation maintenance, and it would be possible to design accurate maintenance plans before equipment failure. The final instance demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
