Detection of Transformer Winding Faults Using Wavelet Analysis and Neural Network

چکیده
This paper investigates the application of wavelet transform as a preprocessor for neural networks (NN) in identifying internal turn-to-turn faults in transformer windings. The faulty and normal signals generated by numerical simulation of ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) are preprocessed using discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The mean values of the wavelet coefficients are input into an improved back-propagation neural network and an Elman recurrent network. Cross-validation is used to select the suitable architecture of the networks. The networks, after training, can decide if the measured signal is faulty or normal. The simulation results of four cases: improved BP-NN with wavelet preprocessing, Elman network with wavelet preprocessing, improved BP-NN without preprocessing, and Elman network without preprocessing are compared and discussed.

متن کاملInter-Turn Fault Detection in Power transformer Using Wavelets
Detection and removal of incipient faults in power transformer winding is essential because minor faults may develop and lead to major faults and finally irretrievable damages occur. This research article presenta a new, simple and incipient fault detection technique, which is based on symmetrical component approach. Using this protection technique, it is possible to detect minor turn-to-turn f...
متن کاملDesigning of a New Transformer Ground Differential Relay Based on Probabilistic Neural Network
Low- impedance transformer ground differential relay is a part of power transformer protection system that is employed for detecting the internal earth faults. This is a fast and sensitive relay, but during some external faults and inrush current conditions, may be exposed to maloperation due to current transformer (CT) saturation. In this paper, a new intelligent transformer ground differentia...
متن کاملCharacterization of Power Transformer Electromagnetic Forces Affected by Winding Faults
Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...
متن کاملPower Auto-transformer Mechanical Faults Diagnosis Using Finite Element based FRA
Frequency response analysis (FRA) is a sensitive method established for testing the mechanical integrity of transformers. However, interpretation of FRA signature still needs expert opinions and there is no FRA interpretation code generally accepted. Various mechanical faults with different extents on power transformers are required to aid FRA interpretation. To address this challenge, in...
