Abstract

Insulators installed outdoors are vulnerable to the accumulation of contaminants on their surface, which raise their conductivity and increase leakage current until a flashover occurs. To improve the reliability of the electrical power system, it is possible to evaluate the development of the fault in relation to the increase in leakage current and thus predict whether a shutdown may occur. This paper proposes the use of empirical wavelet transform (EWT) to reduce the influence of non-representative variations and combines the attention mechanism with a long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent network for prediction. The Optuna framework has been applied for hyperparameter optimization, resulting in a method called optimized EWT-Seq2Seq-LSTM with attention. The proposed model had a 10.17% lower mean square error (MSE) than the standard LSTM and a 5.36% lower MSE than the model without optimization, showing that the attention mechanism and hyperparameter optimization is a promising strategy.
