  • Intelligent analysis system and method for fluid-filled electrical equipment
    Patent number: 6446027
    Abstract: An intelligent analysis apparatus and method for fluid filled electrical equipment includes sensors for measuring various parameters of the electrical equipment. Analytical models calculate parameters based on measurements of other parameters. The measured and calculated parameters are compared and the result of the comparison is used as an indicator in a causal network. The probabilities of the causal network are recalculated by a belief network. The analytical models are adjusted over time to account for acceptable changes in behavior of the equipment over time. The output of the causal network can be used for diagnostic and prognostic indication.
