To allow utilities to fulfill self-imposed and regulative performance targets the demand for new optimized tools and techniques to Estimate the performance of modern Transformers has increased. The modern power transformers has subjected to different types of faults, which affect the continuity of power supply which in turn causes serious economic losses. To avoid the interruption of power supply, various fault diagnosis approaches are adopted to detect faults in the power transformer and has to eliminate the impacts of the faults at the initial stage. Among the fault diagnosis methods, the hybrid technique of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with Support Vector Machine (SVM) learning algorithm is simple conceptually derived and its implementation process is faster with better scaling properties for complex problems with non linearity and load variations but performance factor related to accuracy has a declined value in case of correlations implicit . In order to obtain better fault diagnosis to improve the service of the power transformer, SVM is optimized with Improved PSO technique to achieve high interpretation accuracy for Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) of power transformer through the extracting positive features from both the techniques. Primary SVM is applied to establish classification features for faults in the transformer through DGA. The features are applied as input data to Autonomous optimized Technique for faults analysis. The proposed methodology obtains the DGA data set from diagnostic gas in oil of 500 KV main transformers of Pingguo Substation in South China Electric Power Company. The simulations are carried out in MATLAB software with an Intel core 3 processor with speed of 3 GHZ and 4 GB RAM PC. The result obtained by Autonomous optimized Technique (IPSO-SVM) is compared against PSO-SVM to estimate the performance of the classifiers in terms of execution time and quality of classification for precision. The test results indicate that the Autonomous optimization of IPSO-SVM approach has significantly improved the classification accuracy and computational time for power transformer fault classification.

The transformers work in a complex environment, which makes them prone to failure. Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is one of the most important methods for oil-immersed transformers’ internal insulation fault diagnosis. In view of the high correlation of the same fault data of transformers, this paper proposes a new method for transformers’ fault diagnosis based on correlation coefficient density clustering, which uses density clustering to extrapolate the correlation coefficient of DGA data. Firstly, we calculated the correlation coefficient of dissolved gas content in the fault transformers oil and enlarged the correlation of the same fault category by introducing the amplification coefficient, and finally we used the density clustering method to cluster diagnosis. The experimental results show that the accuracy of clustering is improved by 32.7% compared with the direct clustering judgment without using correlation coefficient, which can effectively cluster different types of transformers fault modes. This method provides a new idea for transformers fault identification, and has practical application value.
