Abstract

This paper presents an application of artificial intelligence for the analysis of total losses in power transformers. The method is based on a multilayer feed-forward neural network that uses the Levenberg-Marquard algorithm to adjust the network parameters. The analysis was carried out on a three-phase dry transformer 1000 kVA, 6000/400 V. The data used for developing the neural network were obtained experimentally by measuring on low voltage side of the transformer. The inputs to the developed neural network are: the mean value of the load current, the temperature and the losses in the copper, and the output is the total losses. The database contains 1441 samples obtained by changing the load every 30 s in the interval of 12 h. The network model was developed for a temperature of 25 °C, and then the same model was used to determine total losses at a temperature of 68 °C. Obtained results from the developed neural network were compared with the measured data. The low error value indicates that this neural network can be used for different load and temperature.
