A Fault Diagnosis Model of Power Transformers Based on Dissolved Gas Analysis Features Selection and Improved Krill Herd Algorithm Optimized Support Vector Machine

Abstract

In this paper, a set of dissolved gas analysis (DGA) new feature combinations is selected as input from the mixed DGA feature quantity, and an improved krill herd (IKH) algorithm optimized support vector machine (SVM) transformer fault diagnosis model is established to solve the problem that the single characteristic gas or characteristic gas ratio, which are utilized as the DGA feature quantity cannot fully reflect the transformer fault classification. The following work has been done in this paper: 1) IEC TC 10 fault data and other 117 sets of fault data in China are preprocessed in order to reduce the influence on the diagnosis results causing by the edge data in the fuzzy area; 2) the SVM parameters and 11 features are encoded by a binary code technique; 3) a preferred DGA feature set for fault diagnosis of power transformers is selected by genetic algorithm (GA) and SVM, and; 4) IKH is utilized to optimize the parameters of SVM. Combining with cross-validation principle, a transformer fault diagnosis model based on IKH algorithm to optimize SVM is established. The fault diagnosis results based on the new fault sample show that the proposed DGA feature set to increase the accuracy by 26.78% and 10.83% over the DGA full data and IEC ratios. Moreover, the accuracy of IKHSVM is better than the GASVM, back-propagation neural network (BPNN), and particle swarm optimization optimized support vector machine (PSOSVM), the accuracy rates are 85.71%, 75%, 64.29%, and 71.43%, which proves the validity of the proposed fault diagnosis model.

Detection and Classification of Incipient Faults in Three-Phase Power Transformer Using DGA Information and Rule-based Machine Learning Method

“…In Mehta et al (2013), binary decision tree SVM, one-againstall (OAA) SVM and one-against-one (OAO) SVM are used and their function is compared in terms of running time, complexity and classification accuracy. Similar research works have been performed using SVM with different kernel functions and structures in Dhini et al (2018), Zhang et al (2019), Ganyun et al (2005) for classification of internal faults in transformers. The learning process of SVM is highly complicated and time consuming (Peng and Wang 2009).…”

A Weekend Load Forecasting Model Based on Semi-Parametric Regression Analysis Considering Weather and Load Interaction

“…The Semi-parametric model, which is different from Support Vector Machine [32,33], can solve the problem that is difficult to express with a simple parameter model and nonparametric model. It not only has a strong explanatory ability, but also overcomes the adverse effects of systematic error and excessive information defect of the nonparametric method, so it has the stronger adaptability and superiority [34][35][36][37][38].…”

Moisture Prediction of Transformer Oil-Immersed Polymer Insulation by Applying a Support Vector Machine Combined with a Genetic Algorithm

“…Fortunately, the support vector machine (SVM) combined with the genetic algorithm (GA) can be utilized to overcome these issues. The GA-SVM is a powerful tool for solving the problem with nonlinearity and high dimension [20], which has been employed to deal with the problem of transformer fault diagnosis [20][21][22][23]. While the GA-SVM cannot be applied to the moisture diagnosis directly since the training of the GA-SVM moisture prediction model needs plenty of training samples (oil-immersed pressboards).…”
