Study of predicting breakdown voltage of stator insulation in generator based on BP neural network

【Abstract】 The breakdown voltage plays an important role in evaluating residual life of stator insulation in generator.In this paper,we discussed BP neural network that was used to predict the breakdown voltage of stator insulation in generator of 300MW/18kV.At first the neural network has been trained by the samples that include the varieties of dielectric loss factor tanδ,the partial discharge parameters and breakdown voltage.Then we tried to predict the breakdown voltage of samples and stator insulations subjected to multi-stress aging by the trained neural network.We found that it’s feasible and accurate to predict the voltage.This method can be applied to predict breakdown voltage of other generators which have the same insulation structure and material.更多还原
