Reliable operations of power transformers are necessary for effective transmission and distribution of power supply. During normal functions of the power transformer, distinct types of faults occurs due to insulation failure, oil aging products, overheating of windings, etc., affect the continuity of power supply thus leading to serious economic losses. To avoid interruptions in the power supply, various software fault diagnosis approaches are developed to detect faults in the power transformer and eliminate the impacts. SVM and SVM-SMO are the software fault diagnostic techniques developed in this paper for the continuous monitoring and analysis of faults in the power transformer. The SVM algorithm is faster, conceptually simple and easy to implement with better scaling properties for few training samples. The performances of SVM for large training samples are complex, subtle and difficult to implement. In order to obtain better fault diagnosis of large training data, SVM is optimized with SMO technique to achieve high interpretation accuracy in fault analysis of power transformer. The proposed methods use Dissolved Gas-in-oil Analysis (DGA) data set obtained from 500 KV main transformers of Pingguo Substation in South China Electric Power Company. DGA is an important tool for diagnosis and detection of incipient faults in the power transformers. The Gas Chromatograph (GC) is one of the traditional methods of DGA, utilized to choose the most appropriate gas signatures dissolved in transformer oil to detect types of faults in the transformer. The simulations are carried out in MATLAB software with an Intel core 3 processor with speed of 3 GHZ and 2 GB RAM PC. The results obtained by optimized SVM and SVM-SMO are compared with the existing SVM classification techniques. The test results indicate that the SVM-SMO approach significantly improve the classification accuracy and computational time for power transformer fault classification.
