Through the property mining and equipment operation and maintenance research of power transformers of heterogeneous systems, the application research on improving the level of power asset management has been effectively improved, and the following results have been achieved: 1) A multi-source heterogeneous data fusion system for power transformers has been constructed. It realizes the effective sharing of data between different systems, providing solid data support for the all-round and multi-dimensional data mining process, and 2) introducing the concept of composite knowledge and constructing a transformer state evaluation model based on composite knowledge. Transformer status assessment based on historical O&M data is realized, which provides strong support for transformer maintenance decisions, and 3) Based on transformer status evaluation results, an optimization framework for transformer O&M strategy is constructed. Considering the remaining life and economic value, a customized operation and maintenance strategy scheme is formulated for the transformer in operation.
In the process of state assessment and equipment operation and maintenance optimization through historical operation and maintenance data, some of the content research is not in-depth enough, and further refinement is needed: 1) In the process of using the health index for residual life assessment, the mapping of equipment operation and maintenance status and health index and the correction of health index need to be further refined on the basis of previous research; 2) When evaluating the value of transformers, its real power supply cost is difficult to quantify, and the calculation in this paper lacks authenticity testing, and the subsequent value assessment system needs to be improved 3) The structure of the currently constructed transformer state assessment model is relatively simple, and the degree of data mining and model accuracy also have room for improvement.
