Traditional transformer fault diagnosis based on single source of information has significant limitation in identification of transformer fault type because of power transformers complex structure and changeable operating environment. So fusion technology is introduced into the fault diagnosis of power transformer. This method divides the progress of transformer fault diagnosis into two fusion levels. The first level is to ascertain whether it is overheated or discharged by content of gases dissolved in transformer oil. The second level is to ascertain the location or cause of the fault by electric data. The intelligence algorithms which are used in these two levels are both the improved BP neural network algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness is validated by the result of practical fault diagnosis examples.

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.

The production principle of characteristic gas in transformer oil and its corresponding transformer fault type are discussed in this paper. Aiming at the fault of multiple characteristic gases exceeding the standard in a 110 kV transformer oil, this paper analyzed the fault reasons according to the characteristic gas method and the three-ratio method, and combined with relevant tests, it was judged that the transformer core multiple grounding fault caused the fault. The on-site inspection verifies the correctness of the failure analysis results and the corresponding measures were adopted to eliminate the transformer faults.

Aiming at BP neural network algorithms limitation such as falling into local minimum easily and low convergence speed, an improved BP algorithm with two times adaptive adjust of training parameters (TA-BP algorithm) was proposed. Besides the adaptive adjust of training rate and momentum factor, this algorithm can gain appropriate permitted convergence error by adaptive adjust in the course of training. TA-BP algorithm was applied in fault diagnosis of power transformer. A fault diagnosis model for power transformer was founded based on neural network. The illustrational results show that this algorithm is better than traditional BP algorithm in both convergence speed and precision. We can realize a fast and accurate diagnosis for power transformer fault by this algorithm.

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%.

Abstract Transformer is the most important equipment in the power system.

Objective To explore the utility of Internet of Things in power transformer fault diagnosis system.

The matter-element extension mathematical model of power transformer fault diagnosis was established, and the correlation function was improved according to the characteristics of three ratio method. Each group of power transformer was diagnosed for four months continuously, and the monitoring data and diagnosis were recorded and analyzed result. GPRS communication network is used to complete the communication between data acquisition terminal and monitoring terminal. According to the parameters of the database, the working state of the equipment is set, and various sensors are controlled by the instrument driver module to complete the diagnosis of transformer fault system. Results The detection success rate of the power transformer fault diagnosis system model established in this paper is as high as 95.6%, the training error is less than 0.0001, and it can correctly identify the fault types of the non training samples. It can be seen that the technical support of the Internet of Things is helpful to the upgrading and maintenance of the power transformer fault diagnosis system.
