Abstract

With the development of distribution networks, large amounts of distribution terminal units (DTU) are gradually integrated into the power system. However, limited numbers of maintenance engineers can hardly cope with the pressure brought about by the substantial increase of DTU devices. As DTU fault would pose a threat to the stable and safe operation of power systems; thus, it is rather significant to reduce the fault incidence of DTU devices and improve the efficiency of fault elimination. In this paper, a DTU fault analysis method using an association rule mining algorithm was proposed. Key factors of DTU fault were analyzed at first. Then, the main concept of the Eclat algorithm was illustrated, and its performance was compared with FP-growth and Apriori algorithms using DTU fault databases of different sizes. Afterwards, a DTU fault analysis method based on the Eclat algorithm was proposed. The practicality of this method was proven by experiment using a realistic DTU fault database. Finally, the application of this method was presented to demonstrate its effectiveness.
