Abstract:

To cope with the low accuracy of the power transformer fault diagnosis taking a classification method with fixed-parameter algorithm,a new diagnosis method based on multi-scale extreme fusion network(MEFN)is proposed.There are two main steps in this method.Firstly,the initial diagnosis results are generated by extreme learning machine (ELM) models with different parameter scales.Models are made to analyze the same set of data about dissolved gas,and reflect different statistical characteristics,providing complementary statistical information to power transformer fault diagnosis.Then,the diagnostic results are fused by the decision-level information fusion algorithm,which can improve the accuracy of the power transformer fault diagnosis.Modeling training and test for the proposed method are made based on 487 sets of experimental data.The test results show that,MEFN can detect six types of common transformer faults with a high recognition accuracy of 94%.The recognition accuracy of MEFN is higher than that of support vector machine (SVM) and back-propagation (BP) neural network by 8% and 13%,respectively.The proposed method can meet the requirements on transformer fault diagnosis made by power companies.
