Aplicação de redes neurais artificiais na estimação de gases dissolvidos em óleo mineral isolante a partir de dados físico-químicos

Abstract

In this paper, Artificial Neural Networks are used to solve a complex problem concerning to power transformers and characterized by non-linearity and hard dynamic modeling. The operation conditions and integrity of a power transformer can be detected by analysis of physical-chemical and chromatographic isolating oil, allowing establish procedures for operating and maintaining the equipment. However, while the costs of physical-chemical tests are smaller, the chromatographic analysis is more informative. This work presents an estimation study of the information that would be obtained in the chromatographic test from the physical-chemical analysis through Artificial Neural Networks. Thus, the power utilities can achieve greater reliability in the prediction of incipient failures at a lower cost. The results show this strategy to be a promising, with accuracy of 100% in best cases.
