Abstract

In this paper, visualization and neural network techniques are applied together to a power transformer condition monitoring system. Through visualizing the data from the chromatogram of oil-dissolved gases by 2-D and/or 3-D graphs, the potential failures of the power transformers become easy to be identified. Through employing some specific neural network techniques, the data from the chromatogram of oil-dissolved gases as well as those from the electrical inspections can be effectively analyzed. Experiments show that the described system works quite well in condition monitoring of power transformers.
