Abstract:

The power transformers are essential equipment in all transport and distribution grids. Minor faults or defects of this equipment can lead to ravaging effects. The most part of the monitoring and diagnosis systems are developed around expert systems. The expert systems regroup the methods based on analytical models and the ones based on knowledge on the system.

The paper deals with a diagnosis system dedicated to the power transformers. Based on the effects noted in the behavior of the power transformers, an expert system for the diagnosis and the functional testing was developed, by considering the abnormal comportments and the faults which determine these.

For building the inference mechanism, the faults tree method applied to the transformers was used. The database is comprehensive and takes into account the most frequent faults which occur during the transformers operation. The designed expert system was developed by using the CLIPS 6.0 programming medium.

The paper presents the results of the system running and the conclusions resulted after the expert system was executed.
