High-Voltage Circuit Breakers Technical State Patterns Recognition Based on Machine Learning Methods

This paper is devoted to improving the assessment of the technical state (health index) of power circuit breakers through the use of machine learning, which allows to formalize expert knowledge, to identify implicit correlations and dependencies, and to automate the decision-making process under uncertainty. The paper proves the possibility of using machine learning based on decision trees to solve the task of assessing the power circuit breakers technical state and solves the problem of determining its optimal parameters and the training sample. The authors of the study carried out approbation of the developed model for assessing the technical state of breakers based on analyzing a large area of electrical networks in the Sverdlovsk Region, the Russian Federation, which proved its efficiency. The necessity of taking into account short-circuit currents when recognizing the pattern of the power breakers technical state is substantiated.
