ANN and wavelet-based discrimination technique between discharge currents in transformer mineral oils
Résumé
This paper is aimed at the analysis of positive pre-breakdown currents triggered in mineral transformer oil submitted to 50 Hz alternating overvoltages. Different shapes of streamer currents and electrical discharges have been recorded to develop a discrimination technique based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Wavelet analysis of these currents. This enables us to address a complementary diagnosis tool that can serve as an online transformer monitoring and protection.
