This invention presents a data-driven method for assessing the condition and predicting the lifespan of
nuclear power plant transformers. The method includes: collecting actual test, maintenance, and operation data of
nuclear power plant transformers; combining this data with
multiphysics simulation data to construct a dataset for assessing the condition of
nuclear power plant transformers; using a large dataset of actual and
simulated data, employing
data mining methods to calculate the
Mahalanobis distance between the aging data and the health
baseline model of the
nuclear power plant transformers, and classifying the equipment into different health levels accordingly to achieve accurate assessment of equipment condition; and through intelligent analysis of the obtained current health status and operational data of the
nuclear power plant transformers, predicting faults and remaining lifespan. This invention effectively overcomes the shortcomings of traditional equipment
condition monitoring and operation and maintenance decision-making processes that rely on manual experience, improving the accuracy and real-time performance of equipment
condition assessment, and enabling the prediction of remaining lifespan and faults.
