Research on Ant Lion Optimization Algorithm for BP Neural Network in Transformer Fault Diagnosis

Aiming at the problem of low accuracy in transformer fault diagnosis, an Ant Lion Optimization (ALO) algorithm is proposed to optimize the BP neural network for transformer fault diagnosis. By using the ant lion optimization algorithm to optimize the weights and thresholds of the BP neural network, the problem of premature convergence of the BP neural network can be avoided, and the accuracy of the transformer fault diagnosis model can be improved. The BP neural network model optimized by the ant lion optimization algorithm was used for transformer fault diagnosis. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, it was compared with the genetic algorithm optimized BP neural network (GA-BP) and the artificial bee colony (ABC-BP) algorithm optimized BP neural network methods. The experimental results showed that the proposed method has higher fault diagnosis accuracy.
