Summary of the Invention

[0005] Specifically, this invention relates to a transformer fault detection and location method based on voltage analysis, the transformer fault detection and location method comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step (1): Collect the three-phase voltage signals of the transformer respectively;

[0007] Step (2): Perform abnormal data processing on the collected three-phase voltage signals of the transformer;

[0008] Step (3): Perform cluster analysis on the three-phase voltage signals of the transformer;

[0009] Step (4): Determine whether the transformer has any abnormalities and specific fault phases.

[0010] The method for abnormal data processing of the collected three-phase voltage signals of the transformer is as follows:

[0011] First, calculate the average voltage signal of each phase. U At U is the instantaneous value of phase A voltage. Bt U is the instantaneous value of phase B voltage. Ct Here, is the instantaneous value of phase C voltage, and T is the sampling period;

[0012] Secondly, calculate the standard deviation of phase A voltage. Standard deviation of phase B voltage C-phase voltage standard deviation

[0014] Determine if it satisfies ε is set to 1.2; if so, the bad data is repaired: Where α+β=1;

[0015] Determine if it satisfies ε is set to 1.2; if so, the bad data is repaired: Where α+β=1.

[0016] The method for clustering analysis of the three-phase voltage signals of the transformer includes:

[0017] (1) Calculate the phase voltage imbalance rate PVUR of the transformer;

[0018] (2) Extract the three-phase voltage signals corresponding to the 30 moments when the PVUR of each phase is the largest, and construct a voltage sequence U of length 30. A (n), U B (n), U C (n), n = 1, 2, ..., 30;

[0019] (3) Use the rated three-phase voltage of the transformer as a sample;

[0020] (4) Set the number of clusters K=3, and use the average value of the three-phase voltage signal of the transformer as the initial cluster center;

[0031] In step (3), the cluster center obtained at the end is compared with the reference value of each phase. If it is greater than the reference value, the transformer is faulty and the corresponding phase is the faulty phase.

[0032] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects are: the transformer fault detection and location method mainly collects and processes abnormal data of each phase voltage, then performs cluster analysis, and finally compares the cluster center obtained from the cluster analysis with the reference value of each phase to determine the specific fault phase.
