Enhanced Fault Prediction for Synchronous Condensers Using LLM-Optimized Wavelet Packet Transformation

This paper presents an enhanced fault prediction framework for synchronous condensers in UHVDC transmission systems, integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) with optimized Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) for improved diagnostic accuracy. The framework innovatively employs LLMs to automatically optimize WPT parameters, addressing the limitations of traditional manual parameter selection methods. By incorporating a Multi-Head Attention Gated Recurrent Unit (MHA-GRU) network, the system achieves superior temporal feature learning and fault pattern recognition. Through intelligent parameter optimization and advanced feature extraction, the LLM component intelligently selects optimal wavelet decomposition levels and frequency bands, while the MHA-GRU network processes the extracted features for accurate fault classification. Experimental results on a high-capacity synchronous condenser demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness in detecting rotor, air-gap, and stator faults across diverse operational conditions. The system maintains efficient real-time processing capabilities while significantly reducing false alarm rates compared to conventional methods. This comprehensive approach to fault prediction and diagnosis represents a significant advancement in synchronous condenser fault prediction, offering improved accuracy, reduced processing time, and enhanced reliability for UHVDC transmission system maintenance.
