Abstract
This paper documents the condition-based maintenance (CBM) of power transformers, the analysis of which relies on two basic data groups: structured (e.g., numeric and categorical) and unstructured (e.g., natural language text narratives) which accounts for 80% of data required. However, unstructured data comprised of malfunction inspection reports, as recorded by operation and maintenance of the power grid, constitutes an abundant untapped source of power insights. This paper proposes a method for malfunction inspection report processing by deep learning, which combines the text data mining–oriented recurrent neural networks (RNN) with long short-term memory (LSTM). In this paper, the effectiveness of the RNN-LSTM network for modeling inspection data is established with a straightforward training strategy in which we replicate targets at each sequence step. Then, the corresponding fault labels are given in datasets, in order to calculate the accuracy of fault classification by comparison with the original data labels and output samples. Experimental results can reflect how key parameters may be selected in the configuration of the key variables to achieve optimal results. The accuracy of the fault recognition demonstrates that the method we proposed can provide a more effective way for grid inspection personnel to deal with unstructured data.

Summary
With the higher requirements of the economy and safety of the power grid, online condition-based maintenance (CBM) of power transformers without power outages is an inevitable trend for equipment maintenance mode [1,2]. Researchers have proposed a variety of transformer fault diagnosis algorithms such as the Bayesian method [3,4,5], evidence reasoning method [6], grey target theory method [7], support vector machine (SVM) method [8,9,10], artificial neural network method [11,12], extension theory method [13], etc These algorithms have achieved good results in engineering practice. The primary objective of this paper is to provide insight on how to apply the principles of deep learning via NLP to the unstructured data analysis in grids based on RNN-LSTM.
