1 Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference (AUPEC 2004) September 2004, Brisbane, Australia PROPOSAL FOR AN IMPROVEMENT IN TRANSFORMER DIAGNOSIS BY DGA USING EXPERT SYSTEM. N.K.Dhote* Lecturer, Electrical Engineering Department, S.B.Bodkhe* Asst.Professor, Electrical Engineering Department, * G.H.Raisoni College of Engineering, CRPF Gate No.-3, Hingna Road, Nagpur , M.S.(INDIA). Abstract Power transformer is a major component of power system and it s correct functioning is vital to system operations. It is quite expensive and has no substitute for it s major role. It is therefore, very important to closely monitor the in-service behavior to avoid costly outages and loss of production. Many devices such as Buchholz relay and Differential relay have been evolved to monitor serviceability of power transformer. However, they respond only to severe power failure requiring immediate removal of transformer from service. Thus, preventive techniques for early detection of faults to avoid costly outages would be valuable. Of all the techniques used for assessing the health of oil filled transformer, none can match the serviceability and reliability of Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA). Many interpretative methods such as Rogers, Dornerburg and IEC PU 599 based on DGA to diagnose the nature of incipient deterioration have been reported. One drawback of all these methods in its present form is that a significant number of DGA results in service fall outside the proposed codes and cannot be diagnosed by these methods. To overcome this limitation, a prototype of an expert system based on DGA for diagnosis of suspected transformer fault and their maintenance action is proposed in this paper. An attempt is also made to fill the void by expansion of ratio combinations in the ratio method IEC PU 599 so that all practical cases can be dealt with. This expert system is implemented into PC by using Turbo Prolog with rule based knowledge representations. The designed expert system has been tested for about ten years collection of CPRI, BHEL and NTPC (India ) transformer gas ratio records to show its effectiveness in transformer diagnosis. 1. INTRODUCTION A transformer may function well externally with monitors, while some incipient deterioration may occur internally to cause fatal problem in later development. Nearly 80 % of faults result from incipient deteriorations. Therefore, faults should be identified and avoided at earliest possible stage by some predictive maintenance technique. Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) has been used for more than 20 years to evaluate the behavior of oil-immersed transformers. Like a blood test or a scanner examination of the human body, it can warn about an impendent problem, give an early diagnosis and increase the chances of finding the appropriate cure. The operating principle is based on slight harmless deterioration of the insulation that accompanies incipient faults, in the form of arcs or sparks resulting from dielectric breakdown of weak or overstressed parts of the insulation, or hot spot due to abnormally high current densities in conductors. Whatever the cause, these stresses will result in chemical breakdown of some of the oil or cellulose molecules consisting the dielectric insulation. The main degradation products are gases, which entirely or partially dissolve in the oil where they are easily detected at the ppm level by DGA analysis. 2. DEVELOPMENT OF DIAGNOSIS AND INTERPRETATION
2 If an incipient fault is present, the individual gas concentration, total combustible gas (TCG) and generating rate [8] are all significantly increased. By using gas chromatography [4,6] to analyze the gases dissolved in transformer s insulating oil, it becomes feasible to judge the incipient fault types. The main gases formed as a result of electrical and thermal faults in transformers and evaluated by DGA are H 2, C H 4, C 2 H 2, C 2 H 4, C 2 H 6, CO, C O 2. Their relative proportions have been co related through empirical observations and laboratory simulations, with various types of transformer encountered in service. Even under normal transformer operational conditions, some of these gases may be formed inside. Thus, it is necessary to build concentration norms from a sufficiently large sampling to assess the statistics. Evolutionary Fuzzy Diagnosis System (EFDS)[7] based on DGA to diagnose the nature of incipient deteriorations have been reported. Each of these techniques has it s own advantages and limitations. These techniques do not necessarily reach to the same conclusion. The accuracy depends upon the expertise of the person handling the analysis. DGA is not science, but an art. The most widely used ratio method for this purpose is the IEC PU 599 / IEEE [2] which is depicted in Table1. One drawback of this method 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 combinations to the existing nine are proposed in this paper, which are displayed in Table2. Many interpretative methods such as Key gas method [2], Dornerburg [1], Rogers [2] and Table 1 IEC/IEEE codes for the interpretation of DGA results: C2H2/ C2H4/ CH4/H2 C2H4 C2H6 Range of gas ratio < Greater than 3 Characteristic Fault : Normal ageing Partial discharge of low energy density Partial discharge of high energy density Continuous sparking Discharge of high energy Thermal fault of low temp <150 Deg. C Thermal fault of low temp between Deg. C Thermal fault of medium temp between Deg. C Thermal fault of high temp >700 Deg. C

C THE PROPOSED DIAGNOSTIC EXPERT SYSTEM Expert system is one of the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which has moved out from research laboratory to the real word and has shown it s potential in industrial and commercial applications.an expert system is a computer system which can act as human expert within one particular field of knowledge.the expert system embodies knowledge about one specific problem domain and possesses the ability to apply this knowledge to solve problem domain. Ideally the expert system can also learn from it s mistakes and gain experience from it s successes and failures. The system should be able to explain the reasoning behind the way in which it has aimed at a particular conclusion. 3.1 Selection of development tool For the development of any expert system, there should be proper selection of a development tool. The different packages i.e., VP-Expert, Shell, Rule Method is a significant knowledge source. The Key gas method [2], Dornerburg [1], Rogers [2], Evolutionary Fuzzy Diagnosis System (EFDS)[7] master, etc. can also be used for development, but these packages have their own limitations, since they use their own rules and instructions. But a computer language is more flexible and the user can develop his methodology for the program formulation. So instead of using package, we can use computer language for expert system development. The language chosen should be simple and declarative. Turbo prolog has these facilities. One of the major advantages of prolog is that it has its own inference engine, which facilitates easy development of expert system. Therefore, prolog has been used for the development of proposed expert system. With the help of this interface, the capability of tracing, explaining and training in an expert system is greatly signified 3.2 Experienced diagnostic procedure As shown in figure 1, the overall procedure of routine maintenance for transformer is listed. The core of this procedure is based on the implementation of DGA techniques. The gas ratio and IEC [2] approaches have been implemented together. The single ratio method is unable to cover all possible cases; other diagnostic expertise should
4 be used to assist this method. Synthetic expertise method and database records have been incorporated to complete these limitations. The first step of this diagnostic procedure begins by asking DGA for a sample to be tested, more important information about transformer s condition such as VA rating, Voltage rating, volume of oil in gallons and date of installation of transformer must be known for further inference. If the transformer is not degassed after previous diagnosis, then rate of evolution of total combustible gases [8] are found. If rate of evolution is normal, further diagnosis can be bypassed. Permissible limits for different gases are checked. For the abnormal cases, the gas ratio method is used to diagnose transformer fault type. If different diagnosis results are found from these ratio methods, a system diagnosis is adopted. After these procedures, different severity degrees are assigned to allow appropriate maintenance suggestions 4 IMPLEMENTATION OF PROPOSED EXPERT SYSTEM An expert system is developed based on the proposed interpretative rules and diagnostic procedure of an overall system. To demonstrate the feasibility of this expert system in diagnosis, more than ten years worthy gas records supplied by CPRI, BHEL and NTPC (India) have been tested. In the implementation, all of these data may be considered, however some of them are selected on the basis of different types of faults that occurred in the past to test the results of this proposed expert system. Amongst those implemented, one that could not be diagnosed by IEC method is shown in Table3. The result given by proposed expert system matches with the reported fault diagnosis. Ask for sampling DGA Relevant information Less Than 0.1 Cuft/ day Rate of evolution More than 0.1 cuft/ day No If degassed? YES Compare gas concentration limit Abnormal Normal Ratio method Analogous result inter severity degree Different Result system diagosis Suggest corrective actions store data as background Suggest normal maintenance Fig 1- Procedure of proposed expert system 5 CASE STUDY: MSEB1, Date of installation: 06/07/97

Retest oil within one month CONCLUSION Prototype expert system is developed on a PC using Turbo Prolog. It can diagnose the incipient faults of the suspected transformers and suggest proper maintenance actions. System diagnosis is proposed to assist the situation, which cannot be handled properly by gas ratio methods. Results
6 from the implementation of the expert system shows that the expert system is a useful tool to assist human experts and maintenance engineers. The knowledge base of this expert system is incorporated within the standard interpretative methods of DGA. The data supplied by CPRI, BHEL and NTPC (India) for about 10 years collection of transformer inspection is also used to improve the interpretation of diagnosis. This work can be continued to expand the knowledge base by adding any new experience, measurement and analysis techniques. REFERENCES [1] E.
