Development of machine learning models for fault detection and diagnosis in transformers

Résumé fourni par la source

The diagnosis of faults in power transformers (PT) plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and stability of power systems. However, traditional fault detection techniques are prone to low detection accuracy and are not stable enough under complex operating conditions. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel hybrid Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD), Graph Attention Network (GAN) with Adaptive Extreme Learning Machine (AELM) method for a transformer fault diagnosis framework. VMD can efficiently extract discriminative frequency bands of the transformer signals, GAN can dynamically learn the importance and relationship of the extracted feature, and AELM can classify rapidly and accurately with low complexity. The dataset was obtained from simulations of various fault conditions in the Matlab/Simulink. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has an accuracy of 99.5%, a precision of 99.66%, a recall of 99.33%, and an F1-score of 99.5% compared to existing methods. The proposed hybrid framework enables efficient classification capability, feature learning with attention, and adaptive feature extraction, which contributes to improved performance.
