the extreme values and noise caused by the imbalance of a data set have seriously affected the fault recognition ability of the classification algorithm. Therefore
a method of power transformer fault sample equalization based on the support vector machine(SVM) synthetic minority over-sampling technique(SMOTE) algorithm is proposed
and machine learning is combined for fault diagnosis to effectively solve the problem of low overall-precision of transformer fault diagnosis under the unbalanced data set. Firstly
the traditional SMOTE algorithm and SVM SMOTE algorithm from the aspects of principle
characteristics
and application were researched and analyzed in detail Then
the gas concentration dissolved in transformer oil was taken as a sample set
and the transformer fault diagnosis model based on fault sample equalization was constructed. Finally
simulation study was carried out.The result shows that
compared with traditional transformer fault diagnosis
the evaluation indexes have been greatly improved after fault sample equalization with SVM SMOTE
and the αmacro-F1
namely
overall accuracy
has increased by nearly 18.9%. The research results prove that the proposed method can be adopted to effectively solve the problem of high missing report ratio of transformer fault sample under unbalanced data set
and outperform traditional classification algorithms with respect to accuracy.
