Power transformers are complex and extremely important piece of electrical equipment in a power system, playing an important role in changing voltage and transmitting electricity. Its operational status directly affects the stability and safety of power grids, and once a fault occurs, it may lead to significant economic losses and social impacts. The traditional detection methods rely on the technical level of power system operation and maintenance personnel, and are based on Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) technology, which analyzes the components of dissolved gases in transformer oil for preliminary fault diagnosis. However, with the increasing accuracy and intelligence requirements for transformer fault diagnosis in power grids, the DGA analysis method is no longer able to meet the requirements. Therefore, this article proposes an improved transformer fault diagnosis method based on a residual BP neural network. This method deepens the BP neural network by stacking multiple residual network modules, and fuses and expands gas feature information through an improved BP neural network. In the improved residual BP neural network, SVM is introduced to judge the extracted feature vectors at each layer, screen out feature vectors with high accuracy, and increase their weights. The feature vector with the highest cumulative weight is selected as an input for transformer fault diagnosis. This method utilizes multi-layer neural network mapping to extract gas feature information with more significant feature differences after fusion expansion, thereby effectively improving diagnostic accuracy. The experimental results show that, compared with traditional BP neural network methods, the proposed algorithm has higher accuracy in transformer fault diagnosis, with an accuracy rate of 92%, which can ensure the sustainable, normal, and safe operation of power grids.

Distribution systems are mostly composed of radial structures, which are susceptible to an increased variability and complexity of system operation due to frequent line changes during operation. When multiple changes in distribution lines occur simultaneously, the relative positions of protective devices also change. The existing protection coordination method of distribution lines is configured by considering the operation characteristics and coordination time interval (CTI) of all protective devices in series from the substation to the terminal load. Therefore, the protection coordination algorithm needs to be redesigned whenever a line is changed or a protective device is added to the distribution line for which the existing protection coordination algorithm has been set. In addition, existing protection coordination methods require complex calculations and procedures, which are subject to human errors and are less feasible for responding in real-time to changes in the distribution system. In this paper, we propose the adaptive time–current curve (TCC) method by selecting the time dial setting (TDS) and minimum response time (MRT) of individual protective devices in accordance with the relative distance based on the linear optimization technique. Using PSCAD/EMTDC, a power system analysis program, the minimum operating current and the fault current of each protective device are obtained, and the proposed protection coordination algorithm is verified according to the series configuration relationship of the protective devices. Finally, the proposed method is applied to an actual distribution line to verify the improvement over the existing protection coordination. Full article
