The objective of this paper is to integrate five traditional criteria of the Dissolved Gases Analysis published in different standards into a more reliable approach of the fault diagnosis of power transformer for maintenance personnel of Taiwan Power Company(TPC). This paper employs Fuzzy Inference System(FIS) to develop two factors as a integrated fault diagnosis for power transformer. One is the identifiable factor which interprets the fault type, the other is the fault factor which asseses the operating condition of transformer. The result of diagnosis can be observed by web browser on TPC intranet. The designed synthetic method has been verified by TPC historical transformers gas records and shows its effectiveness in transformers diagnosis.

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) of transformer oil has been one of the most reliable techniques to detect the incipient faults. Many conventional DGA methods have been developed to interpret DGA results obtained from gas chromatography. Although these methods are widely used in the world, they sometimes fail to diagnose, especially when DGA results fall outside conventional methods codes or when more than one fault exist in the transformer. To overcome these limitations, the fuzzy inference system (FIS) is proposed. Two hundred different cases are used to test the accuracy of various DGA methods in interpreting the transformer condition.

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.

The transformers work in a complex environment, which makes them prone to failure. Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is one of the most important methods for oil-immersed transformers’ internal insulation fault diagnosis. In view of the high correlation of the same fault data of transformers, this paper proposes a new method for transformers’ fault diagnosis based on correlation coefficient density clustering, which uses density clustering to extrapolate the correlation coefficient of DGA data. Firstly, we calculated the correlation coefficient of dissolved gas content in the fault transformers oil and enlarged the correlation of the same fault category by introducing the amplification coefficient, and finally we used the density clustering method to cluster diagnosis. The experimental results show that the accuracy of clustering is improved by 32.7% compared with the direct clustering judgment without using correlation coefficient, which can effectively cluster different types of transformers fault modes. This method provides a new idea for transformers fault identification, and has practical application value.

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.
