Research on Failure Risk Assessment and Maintenance Tactics of Transformer based on the Extension Engineering Method and IAHP

There are many failure modes of transformer, and their probability and failure severity differ from each other. Based on the statistic data and experts advice, the probability of all failure modes are calculated, and divided into 5 grades. Meanwhile, IAHP was applied to calculate the weight of the transformer failure information, and Extension evaluation method was employed to create the frame work of the severities of failure modes qualitatively and divided them into 5 grades as well. Then, risk matrix is adopted to describe risk grades of failure modes, and power transformer risk maintenance strategies are obtained.
