Abstract
The main drawbacks of a back propagation algorithm of wavelet neural network (WNN) commonly used in fault diagnosis of power transformers are that the optimal procedure is easily stacked into the local minima and cases that strictly demand initial value. A fault diagnostic method is presented based on a real-encoded hybrid genetic algorithm evolving a WNN, which can be used to optimise the structure and the parameters of WNN instead of humans in the same training process. Through the process, compromise is satisfactorily made among network complexity, convergence and generalisation ability. A number of examples show that the method proposed has good classifying capability for single- and multiple-fault samples of power transformers as well as high fault diagnostic accuracy.Keywords
