Abstract:

In view of the problems such as the difficulty in extracting the fault characteristics of transformer windings and the relatively low diagnostic accuracy, this study proposes a transformer fault identification method based on the GADF(Gramian Angular Difference Field) and the CNN-BiGRU(Convolutional Neural Network-Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit) on the basis of the frequency response curve. In response to the problem that the original features have a small discriminative ability for different fault types, a moving window calculation method is proposed to process the sample segments. By combining with the Gram angular difference field transformation, the spectral features are obtained, realizing the mapping of one-dimensional data into three-dimensional image data. The distribution characteristics of different fault types in the spectral features are analyzed. Taking the obtained spectral features as the input, the fault segment data are classified through the recurrent convolutional neural network to obtain the identification results. Compared with the traditional methods, the proposed method has more obvious feature differences, and the accuracy is further improved. The simulation results show that the classification accuracy of the slices reaches 96.2%, and the high accuracy of the diagnostic results verifies the feasibility of this method.
