Development of an expert system for power transformer faults diagnosis

Abstract

Power transformers are very important electrical instrument in power system, the certainty and reliability of power system depend on the firm of all related equipment, especially when the uncertainties of fault events happened to the power system accidentally without warning, the failure of equipment needs to be determined and restored back to the system as soon as possible following recommendation from human experts. Expert system for power transformer faults diagnosis is able to improve efficiency of power system restoration, the expert system was developed under the developing tools by establishing knowledge base from gathered knowledge collected from domain experts and other sources of knowledge especially experiences of expert diagnosis and power transformer troubleshooting handbooks, then the graphic user interface will be created for easy to use and understand of users which will enable them to improve their efficiency in work and reduce opportunities to make wrong determination.
