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) 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.

Transformer Fault

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.

Transformer Fault

The method of fault diagnosis based on dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is of great importance to detect possible failures in the transformer and to improve the safety of the electrical system. The DGA data of the transformer in the smart grid has the characteristics of a large amount, different types and a low density of values. Since the power transformer is an important type of power supply in the electrical network, this document provides a complete overview of the power transformer and describes how to diagnose faults. Furthermore, on-line monitoring, the method of fault diagnosis and condition-based maintenance strategy decision-making method as also have been described. The paper presents detailed literature on the recent advancements and methods being adopted by various authors on fault detection.

For transformer fault diagnosis of the IEC three-ratio is an effective method in the dissolved gas analysis (DGA). But it does not offer completely objective, accurate diagnosis for all the faults. Aiming at parameters are confirmed by the cross validation, using the ant colony algorithm, the ACSVM-IEC method for the transformer fault diagnosis is proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm in this paper that can find out the optimum accurately in a wide range. The proposed approach is robust and practical for transformer fault diagnosis.
