Prediction of Transient Magnetic Field of Transformer Inrush Current Fusing Multi-surce Data and CNN-Transformer
To address the challenges of the difficulty in field measurement of the global transient magnetic field during no-load closing operation of transformer
the low computational efficiency of traditional finite element analysis
and the insufficient prediction accuracy of single models
a dataset comprising 560 valid samples with coverage of seven closing-angle conditions is constructed through finite element simulations. The random forest algorithm is employed to perform feature importance screening
and principal component analysis is utilized to compress the 10418dimensional magnetic field data to 300 dimensions. A CNN-Transformer hybrid prediction model is then established
where one-dimensional convolution is used to extract local transient features of the inrush current and the multi-head attention mechanism is adopted to capture global temporal dependencies
thereby enabling end-to-end rapid reconstruction of the global transient magnetic field. Experimental results show that the average absolute error of the model is as low as 0.0042 T
the average absolute percentage error is 0.42%
and a coefficient of determination(
R
2
)of is 0.987. The prediction time per sample is 4
.5 ms
which is more than 10
5
times faster than traditional finite element methods. Under extreme conditions
the global average absolute error is 0.0032 T
with the maximum error not exceeding 0.01 T. The coefficient of determination under all operating conditions is not less than 0.982. The proposed model exhibits high prediction accuracy
strong generalization capability
and high computational effi ciency. It can effectively achieve fast and accurate prediction of the transient magnetic field during transformer inrush current
providing technical support for condition assessment and protection setting of transformer.
