Substation transformer failure analysis through text mining

Transformer failure could occur in terms of tripping that results in an unplanned or unseen outage. A good maintenance strategy is therefore an essential component in a power system to prevent unexpected failures. In this paper, the causes of transformer failure within the power transformer systems...

Power Transformer Text Mining Failure Analysis Transformer failure could occur in terms of tripping that results in an unplanned or unseen outage.

In this paper, the causes of transformer failure within the power transformer systems have been reviewed. Data is obtained from the transmission substation assets from the whole of Peninsular Malaysia for the past 5 years.

As a result of analysis, keywords like "leak", "lightning", "animal", "cable" and "temperature" are identified as the main causes of transformer failures based on the number of word frequency in the tripping dataset.
