Research on automatic detection of gradual fault of high voltage electric energy metering transformer based on fuzzy rough set and whale optimization algorithm

Abstract

Based on fuzzy rough set and whale optimization algorithm, the automatic fault detection method of high-voltage electric energy metering transformer is studied to improve the fault diagnosis effect and efficiency. On the basis of constructing the mathematical model of gradual fault of high-voltage electric energy metering transformer, the fuzzy rough set theory is used to reduce the data attributes of fault samples, eliminate similar attributes, determine the minimum fault feature set, and complete the fault feature selection, which is used as the input of the fault detection model based on Whale Optimization Algorithm-based Support Vector Machine (WOA-SVM). After the kernel parameters and penalty factors of SVM are optimized by whale optimization algorithm, the type of gradual fault of high-voltage electric energy metering transformer is identified. The experimental results show that the reduced fault attributes are distributed differently in the sample data, and the fault detection accuracy can be improved by 9.5 % through fault feature selection. The fault diagnosis model with Gaussian radial basis function, kernel parameter of 0.05 and penalty factor of 10 has the best performance. This method can identify the gradual fault types of high-voltage electric energy metering transformers, and the fault diagnosis effect is outstanding.
