1.      INTRODUCTION

 

One form of transformer maintenance is by conducting tests to determine the state of the transformer. Tests carried out to test insulating oil in addition to translucency testing and dielectric gain-loss testing, PLN also applies the DGA (Dissolve Gas Analysis) test method. This test method is carried out to test the condition of the insulating oil by taking insulating oil samples from the transformer unit to determine the types of gas dissolved in the transformer oil. The purpose of DGA testing is the transformer to be known, Therefore it is necessary to do an analysis for abnormalities in the transformer by testing DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) so that it can be known in advance about the likelihood of the transformer [15].

When the transformer works in normal conditions, there are various kinds of gas produced in small amounts, called C2H4, C2H2, CH4, N2 and O2. When a failure occurs in the transformer, the concentration of gas produced will vary depending on the type of failure in the transformer. The level of gas produced by the oil transformer is used as an indication of the condition of the transformer. The gases used in DGA analysis are H2 (Hydrogen), CH4 (Methane), C2H4 (Ethylene), C2H6 (Ethane), C2H2 (Acetylene), CO (Carbon monoxide), and CO2 (Carbon dioxide [12].

The dissolved gas (DGA) analysis method is an analysis of the condition of the transformer based on the amount of dissolved gas in transformer oil, by extracting the gases from oil samples taken from the transformer. The extracted gas is then added according to each gas and is calculated in ppm units (parts per million). From the results of this DGA test it can be known in advance about the failure of the transformer that may arise. There are several DGA test standards that have been determined by IEEE, including the Duval Triangle, Total Combustible Gas (TDCG), Key Gas, Roger Ratio, Doernenburg Ratio and IEC Ratio.

From several methods of data interpretation, DGA and test standards established by the IEEE, then made here using one of the test standards namely IEC Ratio. The main reason for using the IEC Ratio method is because this method is still rarely used to do DGA analysis especially in Indonesia. However, the test standard for DGA analysis also has drawbacks, the main drawback of the Ratio method is the failure method for all data.

To overcome this problem, we need a solution from the AI ​​ (Artificial Intelligence) method, one of which is ANN (Artificial Neural Network). ANN. Knowing the funds needed from the pattern and being able to acquire knowledge to buy nonlinear objects, requires quite a lot of data in the training process. But the expected method ANN is able to provide accurate and fast analysis results for reading transformers.

 

2.      MATERIALS AND METHODS

 

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is an analysis of the condition of the transformer which is based on the amount of dissolved gas in transformer oil [2]. For several years the method of analyzing dissolved gases in oil has been used as a transformer diagnosis tool. Analyzing dissolved gas content requires several steps, namely taking oil samples, extracting gas, interpreting data and drawing conclusions. Dissolved gas analysis is done by measuring the total flammable gas content which is interpreted by various methods. Commonly used methods are the key gas, the roger ratio method, and the Duvall triangle method.

Roger ratio method is to compare the amount of different gases by dividing one gas with another, this forms a ratio ratio between one gas with another gas. This method uses a ratio of three gases, namely C2H2 / C2H4, CH4 / H2 and C2H4 / C2H6. Roger ratio actually consists of 4 ratios namely C2H2 / C2H4, CH4 / H2, C2H4 / C2H6 and C2H6 / CH4. However, the C2H6 / CH4 ratio only indicates a limited temperature range from decomposition but does not help in identifying further faults. It should be noted that the roger ratio method is used for disturbance analysis rather than for detecting interference and therefore interference must be detected using the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) limits.

IEC is one of the popular standards for determining transformer conditions based on the ratio of five key gases H2, CH4, C2H4, C2H6, and C2H2 in this method of gas constellation (R1 = C2H2 / C2H4, R2 = CH4 / H2, and R3 = C2H4 / C2H6) the code of the ratio is used to determine a condition in the tansformator. The combination of each gas ratio code is used to determine the condition of the transformer after the gas with the code given in each condition. The combination of individual code X1, X2 and X3 is an indicator of the possibility of failure. Table 2 below shows the transformer failure codes based on the IEC 599 standard of the individual codes X1, X2, and X3 shown in table 3 AND 4. These gas key ratio coders can help facilitate the development of computational programming that is easier to identify transformer failures. However, this IEC ratio method in some cases, fails to identify the type of failure accurately (Shakeb A. Khan, 2014).

Neural Network (NN) is a network of a collection of small processing units that are modeled based on human neural networks. This NN is an adaptive system that can change its structure to solve the problem of external or internal information flowing through the network. The structure is very parallel, resulting in the ability to self-regulate to represent information and solve problems quickly.

In this paper a new method for Artificial Neural Networks is applied to DGA for the interpretation of initial errors in power transformers. Error interpretation can be found as a multi-class classification problem. ANN automatically adjusts network parameters, connection weights, and bias requirements of neural networks, to achieve the best model based on the proposed evolution algorithm, which provides solutions to complex classification problems, because the hidden relationship between the type of error and dissolved gas can be recognized by ANN through training process.

 

3.      RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

 

To overcome these deficiencies, this study uses an artificial neural network (ANN) method with a ratio of gas as the input and condition of the transformer as the target. the gas comparison ratio is R1, R2, R3 and has nine outputs which each detect the state of the transformer. To simplify the ANN training process, the output of each condition is changed to certain numbers so that it can be understood by the ANN algorithm.

In this paper the MATLAB software is used to build the ANN model. MLP neural networks are made separately for the Rogers ratio method and the IEC ratio method. Logic, and logic functions are used as transfer functions. Figure 2 shows an Artificial Neural Network with five hidden layers. For the development of neural networks, 360 sample datasets are used. 341 datasets were used for training purposes and 19 datasets were used for testing purposes. To interact with MLP networks, a GUI is created using MATLAB. It provides a user interface with the network. The value of the gas produced due to error is given as network input using the GUI as shown in figure 3. By using this panel, the method applied by ANN is selected. The error type window displays the type of error.

The desired result in this design is to be able to know the gas fault that occurs in the transformer oil and can make it easier to analyze faults based on the gas content in the transformer oil. The table is a comparison of gas data for parameters R1, R2, R3 that are used to test artificial neural networks based on conditions. It can be seen that in each condition it represents a cross fault.
