Optimized Fuzzy Logic Approach with the IEEE Key Gas Method for Diagnosing Power Transformer Faults Using Dissolved Gas Analysis

Reliable transformer fault diagnosis is essential for maintaining power system stability. The IEEE Key Gas Method (KGM), a widely utilized approach in Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA), exhibits limitations in addressing ambiguous data and ensuring high diagnostic accuracy. This study presents An enhanced model combining Fuzzy Logic with the IEEE Key Gas Method (FL-KGM) that introduces refined membership functions, optimized fuzzy rule sets, and a novel separation of CO and CO2 to eliminate diagnostic inconsistencies. By leveraging multidimensional gas ratio analysis and an adaptive classification framework, FL-KGM delivers superior fault identification and classification. Experimental validation utilizing real-world datasets demonstrates that FL-KGM achieves up to 98.6% accuracy, significantly outperforming KGM and other FL-based approaches. These findings elucidate the potential of FL-KGM in advancing transformer monitoring, enabling intelligent fault detection, and enhancing predictive maintenance strategies in modern power systems.

An adaptive multi-fuzzy logic model for diagnosing transformer faults using dynamic weight optimization

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is crucial for diagnosing early power transformer failures. Traditional DGA interpretation methods like Duval Triangle, IEC ratio, Roger ratio, Doernenburg ratio and Key Gas are inconsistent and vary in accuracy, especially for multiple fault conditions. We propose an Adaptive Multi-Fuzzy Logic (AMFL) model integrating multiple DGA methods with fuzzy logic and a dynamic weight adjustment mechanism. Unlike existing approaches with fixed weights, this system iteratively evaluates each method's diagnostic performance, identifies multiple fault types, and adjusts weights based on fault prediction accuracy. A feedback-based optimization recalibrates weights after each cycle to ensure optimal solution convergence. The model, implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, is validated against DGA datasets with known error conditions. Results show the AMFL model significantly improves diagnostic accuracy, especially in complex error scenarios, and enhances adaptability to new datasets. Comparative analysis demonstrates the proposed method outperforms traditional fixed weight multi-fuzzy systems in accuracy, consistency, and reliability of error detection. This work provides a robust, flexible diagnostic tool for transformer condition monitoring and supports more accurate asset management decisions.

Generalization bounds and sample complexity for remaining useful life prediction from complete degradation trajectories

Data-driven remaining useful life (RUL) prediction requires complete degradation trajectories for training, yet such run-to-failure data are scarce and expensive. Practitioners currently lack principled guidance on how many failure examples suffice for a given model and accuracy target. This paper develops a sample complexity framework for RUL prediction comprising seven main results organised around three themes. First, we establish fundamental learning rates: a distribution-free generalization bound shows that the uniform deviation of the mean squared error decreases as $O(B^{2}\sqrt{p/n})$, where $p$ is the model complexity and $n$ the number of trajectories, and a minimax lower bound proves that the $Θ(p/n)$ rate is unimprovable.} \rev{Second, we quantify how domain knowledge accelerates learning: incorporating degradation physics reduces data requirements by up to two orders of magnitude for deep networks, a Bernstein-type analysis achieves the minimax-optimal $O(p/n)$ rate under high signal-to-noise conditions, and closed-form penalties reveal when an incorrectly assumed physics model hurts rather than helps. Third, we characterise the impact of data quality: fleet variability induces an irreducible bias$-$variance tradeoff, while right-censored observations suffer an efficiency loss that depends critically on the degradation class.} Closed-form expressions are provided for exponential, power-law, and stretched-exponential degradation. \rev{Cross-domain validation against published turbofan, battery, and bearing benchmarks confirms the theoretical predictions within a factor of 2$-$3 on average. The results yield practical guidelines for planning data collection, selecting model complexity, and evaluating physics model assumptions in prognostics applications.

Charging Phase Health Indicators for Battery State-of-Health Estimation: A Systematic Comparison of CC, CV, and Combined Approaches under Cross-Battery Validation

Accurate State-of-Health estimation is essential for safe battery operation and cost-effective maintenance. Although numerous health indicators have been derived from constant-current (CC) and constant-voltage (CV) charging phases, their effectiveness under realistic cross-battery validation remains insufficiently studied. This work addresses this gap through a systematic comparison of CC-only, CV-only, and combined indicator sets using rigorous Leave-One-Battery-Out (LOBO) validation on the NASA battery aging dataset. Four CV-phase indicators and CC phase duration are evaluated individually and in combination. Results show that the combined CC+CV approach achieves the best performance (R2 = 0.874), confirming that CC and CV phases capture complementary degradation information. Moreover, a 119% performance gap is observed between standard 5-fold cross-validation and LOBO validation, indicating that conventional evaluation overestimates practical accuracy. Based on these findings, practical guidelines are provided for indicator selection under data and computational constraints.
