Abstract

:
Power transformers are important equipment in power systems and their reliability directly concerns the safety of power networks. Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) has shown great potential for detecting the incipient fault of oil-filled power transformers. In order to solve the misdiagnosis problems of traditional fault diagnosis approaches, a novel fault diagnosis method based on hypersphere multiclass support vector machine (HMSVM) and Dempster–Shafer (D–S) Evidence Theory (DET) is proposed. Firstly, proper gas dissolved in oil is selected as the fault characteristic of power transformers. Secondly, HMSVM is employed to diagnose transformer fault with selected characteristics. Then, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is utilized for parameter optimization. Finally, DET is introduced to fuse three different fault diagnosis methods together, including HMSVM, hybrid immune algorithm (HIA), and kernel extreme learning machine (KELM). To avoid the high conflict between different evidences, in this paper, a weight coefficient is introduced for the correction of fusion results. Results indicate that the fault diagnosis based on HMSVM has the highest probability to identify transformer faults among three artificial intelligent approaches. In addition, the improved D–S evidence theory (IDET) combines the advantages of each diagnosis method and promotes fault diagnosis accuracy.

1. Introduction

As the equipment for transferring electric energy, power transformers occupy an important position in the power system. Their operation state is directly related to the security and stability of the power system [1]. Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is one of the most effective measures to monitor the safe operation of oil-immersed transformers, which can detect the latent faults in the equipment as early as possible [2]. However, the mechanism of transformer fault gas generation is complex, and the mapping relationship between dissolved gas and fault types is relatively vague, which makes it difficult for transformer fault diagnosis [3].
In recent years, various kinds of intelligent algorithms have been applied to transformer fault diagnosis. Support vector machine (SVM) uses hyperplane in high-dimensional kernel feature space to realize classification, which has global optimum and strong generalization ability [4]. At present, SVM has been widely used in the transformer fault diagnosis field [5,6,7,8,9]. However, for samples with uneven state distribution, the hyperplane model of SVM is difficult to classify accurately. In addition, SVM has some limitations in practical applications because of its inherent binary classification attribute, high complexity, and time-consuming calculation.
Hypersphere support vector machine (HSSVM) is based on the theory of SVM. It was first proposed by Scholkopf to replace the hyperplane of SVM with a hypersphere for pattern recognition [10]. Unlike hyperplanar SVM, HSSVM can not only separate two classes of samples, but also divide the sample space into two parts with different status, which can separate the samples distributed in a certain region well [11]. For k-classification, HSSVM only needs to compute k quadratic programming. Compared with the indirect classification of SVM, HSSVM needs fewer quadratic constraints and shorter training and testing time [12]. Ai proposed a novel binary classifier named twin-hypersphere SVM. The algorithm not only inherits good properties, but also gives a more robust description for the dataset. Experimental results on synthetic and publicly available benchmark datasets show the excellent performance in terms of classification accuracy and learning time [13]. In order to solve the multi-classification problems of HSSVM, Zhu put forward a theory of multiclass SVM with a spherical structure [14]. The kernel method was applied to spherical classification in this work. A new hypersphere multi-class support vector machine was proposed in [15] and applied in text classification, but the parameter setting of the method was not explained further. In [16], hypersphere multiclass SVM (HMSVM) was used for partial discharge pattern recognition using dispersion entropy as PD features. Recognition results verified the effectiveness of the method. In this paper, particle swarm optimization (PSO) [17,18] is used to optimize the parameters of HMSVM, and the optimized HMSVM algorithm is applied to transformer fault diagnosis.
Due to the ambiguous relationship between transformer fault phenomena and fault causes, it results in great differences in the effect of different methods on transformer fault diagnosis with different states [19]. Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DET) is a theory for studying uncertainty [20]. It provides an effective method for reasoning and fusion of uncertain information from multiple data sources. In recent years, DET has been applied in many fields, such as medical diagnosis, military affairs, fault diagnosis, and so on [21,22,23,24,25]. However, when there is a high conflict between evidences, Dempster’s synthetic rule has a big defect. The synthetic result may be contrary to the reality [26]. In order to solve the problem of high conflict between evidence, the weight coefficient is introduced to adjust basic probability assignment (BPA). To further improve the efficiency of transformer fault diagnosis, this paper attempts to use the improved DET to fuse the diagnosis conclusions of multiple algorithms effectively. Among various kinds of artificial intelligent algorithms, hybrid immune algorithm (HIA) [27,28] and kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) [29,30] have attracted widespread attention due to their good performance and have been applied to transformer fault diagnosis in recent years. HIA obtains memory antibody [31], which characterizes the characteristics of fault samples through fast learning of transformer fault cases. Based on the deep learning of human brain mechanisms, extreme learning machine constructs networks between fault samples and fault types through improving the neural network. Moreover, KELM has introduced the kernel function, with superior performance [32]. In this paper, the diagnosis conclusions of the above two algorithms and HMSVM are effectively combined by DET. The effectiveness and practicability of this method is verified by instance analysis.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 introduces the conception of HMSVM based on PSO. Section 3 presents transformer fault diagnosis approach based on HMSVM. Section 4 describes the theory of improved DET and evaluates its performance in power transformer fault diagnosis, compared with different algorithms. Section 5 concludes this paper.

2. PSO-Based HMSVM

2.1. Review of HSSVM

HSSVM was first proposed by Scholkopf on the basis of SVM. In 1999, Tax improved the algorithm by using support vector data description to construct classifiers for anomaly detection and single value classification [33]. Unlike traditional SVM classification, HSSVM replaces the hyperplane by a hypersphere. The hypersphere not only separates the target sample in the sphere from the abnormal sample outside the sphere, but also requires the radius as small as possible. The training process of the hypersphere is actually to solve a convex quadratic programming problem.
Let a training sample contain n target samples {xi, i = 1, 2, 3, …, n}. The basic idea of HSSVM is to find such a hypersphere with more target samples and smaller radius. It can be assumed that the radius of the hypersphere is R and the center of the sphere is a. For training samples, the point outside the sphere is adjusted by relaxation variable ξ i . Figure 1 is the schematic diagram of HSSVM.
The problem of finding the required minimum hypersphere can be transformed into the solution of a quadratic programming problem, that is:
{ min R R 2 + C i = 1 n ξ i s . t . x i a 2 R 2 + ξ i
In Formula (1), C is a parameter to punish the misclassified samples. To solve the value in (1), it can be transformed into a Lagrangian extremum problem, that is:
L ( a , R , α i , γ i , ξ i ) = R 2 + C i = 1 n ξ i i = 1 n γ i ξ i C i = 1 n α i ( R 2 + γ i | | x i a | | 2 )
In Formula (2), αi ≥ 0 and γi ≥ 0 are Lagrangian coefficients.
The constrained quadratic programming problem can be transformed into the dual form. In Formula (2), the partial derivatives of R, C and ξi are calculated respectively, and the values are set to 0. They can be defined as
L R = 0 L C = 0 L ξ i = 0
After calculating above three formulas, we can get:
i = 1 n α i = 1
a = i = 1 n α i x i
γ i = C α i , i
From Formula (6), we can get αi = Cγi and a new constraint condition 0 ≤ αiC. By introducing Formula (4)–(6) into Formula (2), we can obtain:
L = i = 1 n α i ( x i x i ) i , j = 1 n α i α j ( x i x j )
The distance D from sample x to spherical center a satisfies:
D 2 = | | x a | | 2
By introducing Formula (7) into Formula (8), D can be described as:
D 2 = ( x x ) 2 i = 1 n α i ( x i x ) + i , j = 1 n α i α j ( x i x j )
The radius R of the hypersphere can be obtained by introducing any support vector xk at the hypersphere boundary into Formula (9):
R 2 = ( x k x k ) 2 i = 1 n α i ( x i x k ) + i , j = 1 n α i α j ( x i x j )
Because of the complex relationship among DGA samples, they generally do not show spherical distribution in low-dimensional space. Similar to SVM, it is necessary to map the samples to high-dimensional feature space by kernel function to obtain the optimal hypersphere.

2.2. Theory of HMSVM

Hypersphere multiclass SVM (HMSVM) can directly classify samples, and only one hypersphere training is required for each class of samples. After mapping all training sample points to high-dimensional feature space, a hypersphere is found for all training samples, so that the radius of each hypersphere is as small as possible, and the number of target samples is as large as possible [34]. For transformer fault diagnosis, n-class samples form n hyperspheres, thus forming a classification structure similar to air soap bubbles in space, as shown in Figure 2.
For M-class classification problem, M sets of elements in n-dimensional vector spaces Xm (m = 1, 2, …, M) is given. Each set Xm contains n-dimensional sample points xmi, i = 1, 2, …, lm, which represents the first element in class m.
For each sample set Xm with a hypersphere (am, Rm), am is the center of the hypersphere and Rm is the radius of the hypersphere. The objective function of the mth hypersphere can be expressed as:
{ min R m R m 2 + C m i = 1 l m ξ m , i s . t . Φ ( x m , i ) a m R m 2 + ξ m , i ξ m , i 0
Cm is a penalty parameter, which is a compromise between the hypersphere radius Rm and the target sample included; ξm,i is the slack variable introduced by multi-classification HSSVM, which allows remote sample points far from the sphere center to fall outside the sphere.
The following dual problems can be obtained by calculating partial derivatives of am, Rm and ξ m , i in Lagrangian functions, consisting of upper formulas.
W ( a m ) = min a m i j α m , i α m , j K ( x m , i , x m , j ) i = 1 l m α m , j K ( x m , i , x m , j )
i = 1 l m α m , i = 1
For each class of samples, the sequential minimum optimization training algorithm based on quadratic approximation set selection method is used to solve the convex quadratic programming problem. The Lagrange multiplier αm,i can be obtained, and then the center and radius of hyperspheres can be determined. Thus, the training of HMSVM can be completed.
The membership degree is defined in Formula (14).
P ( A i ) = { 0.5 × 1 D m ( x i ) / R m 1 + D m ( x i ) / R m + 0.5 , D m ( x i ) R m 0.5 × 1 1 + D m ( x i ) / R m , D m ( x i ) > R m
where xi is the testing sample and Dm(xi) represents the distance between xi and the mth center of sphere. Rm is the radius of the mth hypersphere and P(Ai) is the membership degree of xi to Ai. The sample belongs to the category which has the highest membership degree.

2.3. Influence of Kernel Function Parameters

Similar to SVM, HMSVM needs to map samples into high-dimensional feature space through kernel function to obtain the optimal hypersphere. As radial basis function (RBF) kernel can map samples to a higher dimensional space, and deal with samples when the relationship between class labels and features is non-linear, this paper chooses RBF as the kernel function of HMSVM.
K ( x , x i ) = exp { | x x i | 2 σ 2 }
When HMSVM is used for classification, penalty parameter C and RBF kernel parameter σ have great influence on the boundary shape of the classification hypersphere, which can directly affect the accuracy of sample recognition [35].
In order to illustrate the influence of two parameters on the boundary of HMSVM intuitively, a banana data set containing 100 samples is used to train hyperspheres under the combination of nine different groups of C and σ to observe the boundary changes of hyperspheres. The boundaries of each parameter combination are shown in Figure 3.
In Figure 3, the blue dots represent the training target samples. The horizontal and vertical coordinates of each subgraph represent two features of the given samples. The same row has the same penalty parameter C and the same column has the same kernel parameter σ.
It can be seen that with the same C, the smaller the value of σ is, the more samples are located on the hyperspherical boundary, resulting in over-fitting. On the contrary, with the increase of σ, the boundary becomes smoother and the complexity of the model decreases. Fixing the value of σ, with increasing C the number of target samples decreases, resulting in a reduction in the complexity of the model.
On the whole, different values of the two parameters will have a great impact on the classification model.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the effects of penalty parameter C and kernel parameter σ on radius R of HMSVM.
Figure 4 shows that C has an influence on the radius of HMSVM in a small range. However, when a certain value is reached, the radius of HMSVM will not change with the increase of C. Figure 5 shows that R decreases sharply with the increase of the kernel parameter σ. According to the analysis of Figure 3, the boundary of HMSVM tends to be smoother with the increase of σ. When mapping data to high-dimensional space, the radius decreases, and the smoothness of the boundary results in over-fitting.
In summary, the above two parameters have an impact on the formation of its hypersphere. It is necessary to find the best combination of parameters in HMSVM. From the above analysis, it can be seen that smaller σ should be considered in parameter optimization. In a certain range, C has less influence on the boundary shape than σ. Therefore, C can be controlled in a reasonable range of [1/n, 1], in which n represents the number of samples.

2.4. PSO-HMSVM

At present, the commonly used methods for parameter selection include empirical method, grid search method, and so on. The empirical method has some limitations in practical application due to the lack of sufficient theoretical basis. The grid search method divides the parameter space into several small intervals and uses different parameter combinations for trial calculation. It takes a long time to optimize, with unsatisfactory diagnostic accuracy. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) [36] is widely used in the field of parameter selection because of its fast searching for the optimal value and high efficiency.
In this paper, PSO is applied to parameter selection in HMSVM. A HMSVM model based on PSO is established, which is abbreviated as PSO-HMSVM.
The flow chart of PSO-HMSVM is shown in Figure 6.

3. Transformer Fault Diagnosis Based on PSO-HMSVM

In this paper, the proposed PSO-HMSVM algorithm is applied to the fault diagnosis of power transformers. First of all, the DGA dataset of power transformer faults are collected. Secondly, proper dissolved gas characteristics are selected according to data preprocessing. Then, DGA data is divided into training dataset and testing dataset. With training data, parameter optimization of HMSVM is realized using PSO. Finally, the testing data is sent to the trained HMSVM model and the diagnosis result is obtained. The flow chart is shown in Figure 7.

3.1. Selection of Dissolved Gas Characteristics

This paper collects 509 sets of DGA data from Hebei North Electric Power Company and related literature [37]. Each data set has corresponding fault conclusions. According to IEC60599 guidelines, transformer states are classified into six types: normal (N), low and medium temperature (T12), high temperature (T3), low energy discharge (D1), high energy discharge (D2), partial discharge (PD) [38].
The collected transformer DGA samples are divided into two groups, training samples and test samples. In order to ensure the adequacy of training samples, the DGA data is divided into training and testing samples according to a ratio of about 1:1. Two hundred and fifty-six gas samples are randomly selected as training set and the remaining 253 gas samples are used for the test set. DGA sample distribution is shown in Table 1.
As the dimension of dissolved gases varies widely, it cannot reflect the relationship between gases. Generally, the data is not directly used as input vectors for fault diagnosis. At present, there are two kinds of commonly used gas characteristics:
G a s 1 = ( ϕ ( H 2 ) T h , ϕ ( C H 4 ) T h , ϕ ( C 2 H 6 ) T h , ϕ ( C 2 H 4 ) T h , ϕ ( C 2 H 2 ) T h )
G a s 2 = ( ϕ ( H 2 ) T h , ϕ ( C H 4 ) T , ϕ ( C 2 H 6 ) T , ϕ ( C 2 H 4 ) T , ϕ ( C 2 H 2 ) T )
In Formulas (16) and (17), φ(H2), φ(CH4), φ(C2H6), φ(C2H4), and φ(C2H2) represent the concentrations of H2, CH4, C2H6, C2H4, and C2H2 respectively. Th denotes the sum of hydrogen hydrocarbon gases and T is the sum of hydrocarbon gases.
To select suitable gas characteristics for HMSVM, the untreated gas samples and two kinds of treated gas samples are tested respectively. The selected parameters of C and σ are 0.5 and 15. Table 2 presents the diagnostic results using different gas characteristics.
Table 2 shows that the diagnostic accuracy of the untreated gas is much lower than that of the treated gas. It indicates that the treated DGA data can better represent the relationship between transformer faults and gas contents, which is more advantageous for transformer status recognition. As the accuracy of Gas 1 is 3% higher than that of Gas 2, therefore Gas 1 is chosen as the input vector of HMSVM in this paper.

3.2. Selection of Kernel Function and Parameters in HMSVM

According to the discussion in Section 2.3, RBF is selected as the kernel function of HMSVM. PSO is also employed for parameter optimization.
In PSO, the number of particle population is set to be 20, and the inertia weight is set to be 1. c1 = 1.5 and c2 = 1.7 are acceleration coefficients. The maximum number of iterations is set to be 200. The search range of penalty parameter C is [1/n, 1], where n is the number of samples. The search range of kernel parameter σ is [1,100].
Two hundred and fifty-six training samples are sent into PSO-HSSVM for training, and the fitness curve is obtained as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8 shows that the optimal fitness reaches a maximum of 96.89% after 19 iterations. At this time, the kernel parameter is 12.38 and the penalty parameter is 0.41. After comprehensive consideration, σ = 12, C = 0.4.

3.3. Results Analysis

After obtaining the optimal transformer fault model based on PSO-HMSVM through training samples, 253 testing samples are sent into the model for state classification.
Taking Xi for example, the distances from Xi to the spherical center of six state categories are calculated. The membership degree is calculated according to Formula (14). The membership degree matrix can be described as:
P =   [ P i   ( N ) ,   P i   ( T 12 ) ,   P i   ( T 3 ) ,   P i ( D 1 ) ,   P i   ( D 2 ) ,   P i   ( P D ) ]
where Pi is the membership degree of the sample Xi. The state category corresponding to the maximum value of Pi is the state category of the sample Xi.
After 253 DGA samples are tested, the state categories are compared with the actual state labels. Table 3 shows the diagnostic results of PSO-HSSVM.
In Table 3, for the fault of high energy discharge (D2), eight samples are misclassified. The reason is that high energy discharge is often accompanied by heat, which is easy to be misdiagnosed. Using PSO-HMSVM, the recognition accuracy of total testing samples reaches 90%. It indicates the proposed algorithm possesses excellent learning ability for small-size DGA sample.
(1) Comparison with the improved three-ratio method
Table 4 shows partial results of HMSVM-based transformer fault diagnostic method compared with the improved three-ratio method.
After testing of DGA samples, the diagnostic accuracy of the improved three-ratio method is only 62.1%. Table 4 shows that the improved three-ratio method has difficulties in distinguishing between discharge faults and overheat faults. This is mainly due to the poor processing ability for coding critical value, which easily causes misjudgment. In addition, the improved three-ratio method has the problem of coding deficit in fault diagnosis, which will also lead to diagnostic errors. The PSO-HMSVM method can overcome the above shortcomings of the three-ratio method and accurately identify the above transformer fault types in the case of small samples.
(2) Comparison to other intelligent algorithms
HIA and KELM have attracted wide attention in recent years due to their good performance in pattern classification. In order to verify the superiority of the proposed method, the above two intelligent algorithms are applied to dissolved gas analysis of transformer faults. In order to select suitable gas characteristics, the DGA data of two different gas characteristics are used to analyze the fault diagnosis models based on HIA and KELM, respectively. Table 5 shows the test diagnosis results. As can be seen from Table 5, for HIA, the test effect of Gas 1 is obviously better than Gas 2. However, for KELM, Gas 2 shows better classification performance. Therefore, in this paper, Gas 1 is used as input data of HIA, and Gas 2 is fed into KELM for mode analysis.
In order to test the diagnostic performance of three different intelligent algorithms, 253 DGA gases are sent into HIA, KELM, and PSO-HMSVM for diagnosis, respectively. The operation parameters of three algorithms are obtained by PSO optimization configuration, which are shown in Table 6. The KELM algorithm uses RBF as the kernel function, in which C is the penalty coefficient and σ is the kernel parameter. Ta is the affinity threshold of HIA. To facilitate the hypersphere training, the DGA samples are set to six labels, as shown in Table 7. With parameters shown in Table 7, the test results of above three algorithms are presented in Figure 9. The abscissa denotes transformer fault state types.
As shown in Figure 9, for the fault of high-temperature overheating and low-energy discharge, the diagnostic accuracy of HIA reaches 92.4% and 91.2%. This means that HIA has advantages over other two single algorithms for such transformer faults. The diagnostic accuracy of KELM for high energy discharge and high temperature overheating were 92.4% and 87.5%, respectively, showing better diagnostic effect than HIA and HMSVM. Although the overall diagnosis effect of HMSVM is better than the other two intelligent algorithms, the recognition rate of low energy discharge fault state is slightly lower than that of HIA. This is because HMSVM has the problem of hypersphere overlap in multi-classification pattern. It is easy to misjudge the category of samples located in the overlap part. Above all, the diagnostic effects of three algorithms for six transformer faults are obviously different. In order to fully integrate the advantages of each intelligent algorithm in transformer fault mode diagnosis and further improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis, this paper introduces Dempster–Shafer (D–S) evidence theory to effectively integrate three diagnostic methods.

4. D–S Evidence Theory and Application in Transformer Fault Diagnosis

4.1. Concept of D–S Evidence Theory

D–S evidence theory can fuse information from different data sources. It is an effective method of information fusion. It has achieved good results in many fields.
Suppose Θ is the identification framework and 2Θ is the power set of Θ. If the mapping relationship m: 2Θ→[0, 1] satisfies m ( φ ) = 0 , A Θ m ( A ) = 1 , then m is called the basic probability assignment (BPA) function and m(A) is the basic reliability of evidence to A. If A Θ and m (A) > 0, then A is named the focal element of BPA.
However, when there is a high conflict between evidences, the Dempster rule has a big defect in the process of synthesis [39]. The synthesis results may be even completely contrary to the actual situation. In order to solve this problem, this paper introduces weight coefficient to readjust BPA. The specific process is as follows:
(1)
Calculate the conflict extent kij between evidence Ei and Ej (j = 1, 2, …, i − 1, i + 1, … n) to form the collision vector Ki.
K i = ( k i 1 , k i 2 , , k i i 1 , k i i + 1 , , k i n )
In   which   k i j = A i A j A i E i , A j E j m i ( A i ) m j ( A j ) i = 1 , 2 , , n
(2)
Standardize the collision vector Ki.
K i N = ( k i 1 , k i 2 , , k i i 1 , k i i + 1 , , k m ) j = 1 , j i n k i j
(3)
Calculate the entropy value Hi of KiN
H i = j = 1 , j i n k i j N ln ( k i j N ) , i = 1 , 2 , , n
(4)
Calculate the reciprocal of Hi
H i 1 = 1 H i
(5)
Calculate the weight coefficient wi of Ei.
w i = H i 1 j = 1 n H j 1
Through above five steps, we can get the weight coefficients of each evidence, and combine them to obtain the weight vector Wi = {w1, w2, …, wn}.
Let the maximum weight be wmax = max{w1, w2, …, wn}, and the relative values of weight coefficients can be obtained as: W* = (w1, w2, …, wn)/wmax. Discount coefficient is introduced into the basic probability assignment function, shown as:
m i * ( A k ) = α i m i ( A k )
where k = 1, 2, …, di, and di is the number of non-Θ focal elements in the identification framework. Therefore, the value of BPA can be adjusted as mi*(Ak), k = 1, 2, …, di.
To construct the complete BPA, the concept of uncertainty is defined as:
m i * ( Θ ) = 1 k = 1 d i m i * ( A k )
A complete BPA function can be constructed by Formulas (24) and (25).

4.2. Transformer Fault Diagnosis Based on Improved D–S Evidence Theory

In order to enrich information sources in transformer fault diagnosis and improve the diagnostic efficiency, D–S evidence theory is employed to merge HIA, KELM, and HMSVM together. In this section, a diagnostic fusion model of power transformer fault is constructed based on improved D–S evidence theory. The diagnostic procedure is as follows.
(1)
Three fault diagnosis models are used to test DGA samples and make a preliminary diagnosis. If a unanimous conclusion is obtained, then stop the operation and output the result directly. Otherwise continue the following steps.
(2)
Different BPA of three diagnostic approaches are constructed as follows.
a. HIA
In the recognition framework Θ, the Euclidean distances from Ag to all memory antibodies are calculated. Assuming that the minimum Euclidean distance between Ag and Bi is di, if di > σ, and then let xi = 0, otherwise xi = 1/di, where σ is the affinity threshold, i = 1, 2, …, 6. In HIA [40], the BPA of Ag can be described as follows:
m 1 ( B i ) = x i i = 1 6 x j , i = 1 , 2 , , 6
b. KELM
There are 6 kinds of transformer fault states in this paper, that is, the number of recognition types of KELM is 6. If fi(x) is used to represent the output function for the ith state of transformer faults, then the output function f(x) of KELM is expressed as [41]:
f ( x ) = ( f 1 ( x ) , f 2 ( x ) , , f 6 ( x ) )
The numerical output of KELM is transformed into probabilistic output.
f i ' ( x ) = 1 1 + exp ( f i ( x ) ) , i = 1 , 2 , , 6
For Sample x, the BPA of KELM is defined as:
m 2 ( B i ) = f i ' ( x ) i = 1 6 f i ' ( x ) , i = 1 , 2 , , 6
c. HMSVM
m3(Bi) denotes the BPA of HMSVM that a group of DGA samples belong to fault Ai.
m 3 ( B i ) = P ( A i ) i = 1 6 P ( A i ) , i = 1 , 2 , , 6
where P(Ai) can be calculated by Formula (14).
The above three groups of BPAs are satisfied:
{ i = 1 6 m ( B i ) = 1 m ( ) = 0
(3)
The weight coefficient is used to adjust the BPA.
(4)
The synthesized BPA is discriminated according to the following rules.
Let A1 and A2 belong to U, satisfying
m ( A 1 ) = max { m ( A i ) , A i Θ } m ( A 2 ) = max { m ( A i ) , A i Θ   and   A i A 1 }
{ m ( A 1 ) m ( A 2 ) > ε 1 m ( Θ ) < ε 2 m ( A 1 ) > m ( Θ )
where A1 is the judgment result. Further, ε1 andε2 are preset thresholds, which are set to be 0.2 after repeated comparison.
The fault diagnosis model based on improved evidence theory is shown in Figure 10.

4.3. Case Analysis and Discussion

In this section, 5 sets of DGA samples are collected from Hebei north electric power company, with actual fault labels attached, shown in Table 8.
The DGA samples are processed and input into the transformer fault diagnosis model based on HMSVM. The output membership values of five groups of samples are obtained, as shown in Table 9. The value appears in bold in Table 9 means the highest membership of each sample.
According to the diagnostic principle of HMSVM, if the sample is located inside the hypersphere, the value of membership is greater, otherwise, the value of membership is smaller. Table 9 shows that except for Sample 3, the maximum membership of DGA samples is much greater than that of other fault states. This is because the four samples belong to only one state hypersphere, so the diagnosis conclusion is clear, and the membership value is usually greater than 0.5. For T12 and T3, the membership values of Sample 3 are greater than 0.5, and close to each other. This is because the sample is located in the overlapping area of hyperspheres, which is prone to misjudgment. According to HMSVM diagnostic criteria, the diagnosis conclusion of this sample is T3, which is not consistent with the actual fault.
HIA and KELM are employed to analyze above typical samples. The diagnostic results using three intelligent algorithms are shown in Figure 11.
As can be seen from Figure 11, for the five sets of fault samples, the diagnostic results obtained by three intelligent algorithms are quite different. Among them, the HMSVM method has the best diagnostic effect, and only Sample 3 is not recognized correctly. The reason is this sample is located in the overlapping area of hyperspheres, which results in misjudgment. The KELM method has some problems in the diagnosis of Sample 2 and Sample 3, which shows that it is easy to misjudge the overheating fault. The HI method has misjudged Sample 4 and Sample 5, which indicates that this method is not effective for the distinction between high energy discharge and high temperature superheating faults. According to above analysis, except for normal samples, three intelligent methods have great difference in the diagnosis effect of transformer faults. For Sample 3, the diagnostic conclusions given by the three intelligent methods are completely different. Therefore, this paper chooses Sample 3 as the high conflict data for detailed analysis. Afterwards, the evidence theory fusion method is used for comprehensive diagnosis.
In this section, the proposed fusion algorithm is utilized to analyze the high-conflict DGA sample. First of all, the characteristics of the sample are extracted. Then, three different intelligent approaches are employed for preliminary diagnosis. According to the BPA construction method of three different algorithms, the BPA to each fault state is obtained shown in Table 10. In the table, E1, E2, E3 represent the evidence of KELM, HIA, and HMSVM respectively, and m denotes the basic probability assignment.
Table 10 shows that the reliability to T3 is the highest for KELM and HMSVM, and the reliability to T12 is the highest for HIA. The conflictive degree of evidences is calculated, defined as k. k12 denotes the conflictive degree between KELM and HIA. k13 means the conflictive degree between KELM and HMSVM. Lastly, k23 denotes the conflictive degree between HMSVM and HIA. After multiple calculations, the values of k12, k13, k23 are obtained, which are 0.9827, 0.1721, and 0.9700. This indicates that the conflictive degree between HIA and each other evidence is higher.
In order to solve the problem of high conflict between evidences, the weight coefficient is introduced for BPA readjustment. With the degree of conflict k12, k13, k23, the weight coefficient wi can be obtained by Formulas (20)–(23) as wi = (0.3845, 0.2335, 0.3819). Due to the serious conflict between E2 and the other evidence, HIA has smaller weight coefficient. Different weight coefficient values can distinguish the importance degree of each evidence. The uncertainty m(Θ) is introduced in the process of BPA adjustment. The adjusted BPA based on weight coefficients is obtained in Table 11.
With the BPA in Table 11, the diagnostic decision can be made by formula (24) and (25). After calculation, m(T12) and m(T3) are the first and second maximum of basic probability assignment. The difference between these two values is 0.466, which is greater than ε1(0.2). In addition, the value of uncertainty m(Θ) is 0.0201, which is much less than ε2(0.2). Above all, the final diagnostic result is T12, which is the same as the actual state.
Using above 253 testing DGA samples, the diagnostic results based on different algorithms are shown in Table 12.
It can be seen from Table 12 that, due to the superior performance in processing nonhomogeneous and small samples, the total diagnostic accuracy of HMSVM reaches 90.9%, which is better than KELM and HIA. However, for D1, HIA performs better than HMSVM. In addition, HMSVM gets worse results for PD than both HIA and KELM. It indicates that three intelligent algorithms have diverse performances for different transformer fault states. For each transformer fault state, the diagnostic accuracy of the fusion method based on improved D–S evidence theory is no less than 90.0%. In total, the proposed fusion method has the highest diagnostic accuracy, which is obviously better than the other three single approaches. It shows that IDET can fuse the advantages of each single algorithm together and recognize transformer fault states effectively.

5. Conclusions

Fault diagnosis plays an important role in the safe operation of power transformers. In this study, a novel transformer fault diagnosis approach based on HMSVM was proposed and PSO was applied to parameter optimization. IDET was also introduced to fuse three different diagnostic algorithms together, including HMSVM, HIA, and KELM. The diagnostic results are as follows.
HMSVM uses a hypersphere for pattern recognition, instead of hyperplanes in SVM. It can divide the sample space into different parts with different status and process nonhomogeneous and small samples effectively. Compared with HIA and KELM, HMSVM can get higher accuracy in transformer faults recognition.
The weight coefficient is introduced into DET to solve the problem of high conflict between evidences. It can improve the reliability of evidence fusion.
Transformer fault diagnosis based on IDET can fuse the advantages of three different intelligent algorithms together. IDET provides an effective way for fusion of uncertain information from multiple data sources. The total diagnostic accuracy reaches 94.1%, which is better than each single method.
Due to the diversities of diagnostic performance with different methods, more intelligent approaches could be applied to transformer fault diagnosis and sent into IDET to fuse their advantages together for further consideration.
