Fuzzy Logic Application in DGA Methods to Classify Fault Type in Power Transformer

چکیده
Assessment of power transformer conditions has become increasingly important in recent years. As an asset that represents one of the largest investments in a utility’s system, detection of incipient faults in power transformers is crucial. Dissolved gas-in-oil analysis (DGA) is a successful technique to detect these potential faults and it provides wealth of diagnostic information. This project used two DGA methods which are Rogers Ratio and IEC Ratio to interpret the DGA results. However, there are situations of errors and misleading results occurring due to borderline and multiple faults. Fuzzy logic is implemented here as an improved DGA interpretation method that provides higher reliability and precision of fault diagnosis. Key-Words: DGA methods, Fault diagnosis of transformer, Fuzzy logic, Fuzzy inference, IEC ratio, Rogers ratio

A new fuzzy logic approach to identify power transformer criticality using dissolved gas-in-oil analysis
Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) of transformer oil is one of the most effective power transformer condition monitoring tools. There are many interpretation techniques for DGA results however all current techniques rely on personnel experience more than analytical formulation. As a result, the current techniques do not necessarily lead to the same conclusion for the same oil sample. A significant n...

متن کاملDiagnosis of Power Transformer Faults based on Five Fuzzy Ratio Method
Dissolved Gas Analysis is one of the most useful method to detect incipient faults in transformer. Amongst the conventional DGA methods, IEC three ratio method is widely used. One of the disadvantages in its present form is that a significant number of DGA results inservice fall outside the existing IEC codes and cannot be diagnosed. To overcome this limitation, additional eighteen new combinat...
متن کاملIntuitionistic Fuzzy Expert System based Fault Diagnosis using Dissolved Gas Analysis for Power Transformer
In transformer fault diagnosis, dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is been widely employed for a long period and numerous methods have been innovated to interpret its results. Still in some cases it fails to identify the corresponding faults. Due to the limitation of training data and non-linearity, the estimation of key-gas ratio in the transformer oil becomes more complicated. This paper presents I...
متن کاملFuzzy Decision on Transformer Fault Diagnosis using Dissolved Gas Analysis and IEC Ratio Codes
This paper emphasizes on the use of fuzzy approach in dealing with the incipient fault conditions of power transformer. DGA (Dissolved Gas in Oil Analysis) cannot provide better fault diagnosis results when multiple faults are involved. The boundary values specified by the ratio methods are of limited concern .Considering the limitations of convergence of the conventional neural networks in the...
