RESUMO

Given the complexity of the Brazilian energy matrix and in particular of the whole interconnected electrical power system, it is essential to ensure that the equipment, from generation to final consumers, operates in a satisfactory way and high levels of reliability. In accordance with the restructuring of the sector and its integration in a competitive market, in addition to the high reliability required, the new concept of availability of equipment and systems requires more planning and quality in the market of electrical energy. In this context, electrical power companies are increasingly concerned about maintaining their equipment in good operating conditions so that the above targets are attained. Within electrical equipments, power transformers are undoubtedly the most important asset, since they are the most expensive and complex in functional terms. Dissolved Gases Analysis in insulating mineral oil (DGA), is a widely accepted tool for detecting faults in electrical equipments with paper-oil insulation, particularly in power transformers. With the aim of providing more subsidies to maintenance managers when making decisions on interventions in power transformers, this work proposes a Decision Support System composed of a module of Computational Intelligence (CI) which uses fuzzy rules to diagnose the equipment, together with another decision-support module, which considers the power transformer features and other parameters in order to help managers in the decision making process.
