Abstract

Power transformers being among the power system key components, are very important to protect. Various approaches have so far been proposed for this topic. Artificial intelligence (AI) has provided a concrete basis for numerous power transformer differential protection methodologies. However, the capabilities of AI-based methods have never been put into comparison. This paper provides a comparative analysis of various AI-based approaches for differential protection of power transformers. The performances of AI-based differential protection schemes are investigated in the presence of current transformer (CT) saturation condition, series capacitors compensation, and superconductor fault current limiter (SFCL), which possibly deteriorate the capability of differential protections to correctly tell inrush currents and internal faults apart. The PSCAD/EMTDC simulation tool is applied in producing the necessary test dataset for performance evaluation of the suggested novel strategy. The attained outcomes from the assessment of various methods have been analyzed to introduce the most superior AI-based differential protection scheme.
