PROBLEM STATEMENT

Traditional methods of monitoring and maintaining power grids heavily rely

on inspection and intervention. However this approach often leads to
inefficiencies and delays, in identifying and responding to faults. Moreover it
poses safety risks reduces dependability and increases downtime. To
overcome these challenges it is crucial to develop AI driven technologies
that can autonomously monitor, evaluate and detect issues within power
grids. By leveraging intelligence solutions such, as machine learning
algorithms, predictive maintenance models and autonomous decision
making systems we aim to revolutionize power grid management. Our goal
is to enhance efficiency, reliability and safety in the distribution of energy.

Our proposed AI-driven system for autonomous maintenance and fault

detection integrates advanced machine learning techniques, particularly
Binary Classification Neural Networks (BCNN), to enhance the reliability
and efficiency of fault detection processes in electrical power grids. By
leveraging BCNN models trained on historical grid data, our system
autonomously identifies and classifies potential faults, enabling proactive
maintenance and minimizing downtime. Through comprehensive data
preprocessing, model development, training, and evaluation phases, our
solution ensures accurate fault detection and timely response to grid
anomalies. With its ability to continuously learn from new data and adapt
to changing grid conditions, our AI-driven system empowers grid
operators to proactively manage maintenance activities, optimize system
performance, and ensure uninterrupted power supply.
DATA OVERVIEW 12

The dataset comprises essential parameters for fault

classification within power systems. It includes input features
representing measurements of current (Ia, Ib, Ic) and voltage (Va,
Vb, Vc), pivotal in assessing the operational status of the power
grid. Additionally, the dataset encompasses output classes
categorizing various fault types encountered in power systems.
These fault types range from benign occurrences such as No
Fault to more critical and intricate faults like LG, LL, LLG, LLL,
and LLLG faults. Accurate classification of these fault types is
imperative for ensuring the reliability and safety of the power
grid, as it facilitates prompt detection and mitigation of potential
issues.
