 Abstract

On the basis of distribution network operation efficiency evaluation

model, big data mining analysis of distribution network operation
efficiency is carried out by using the obtained file and operation data of
millions of the distribution network main equipment in 2014. The
equipment include high voltage transmission line, main transformer,
medium voltage distribution line and distribution transformer.
 Abstract Continued..
The mining process is divided into three stages: business understanding, data
preparation and data mining. Firstly, in the stage of business understanding, the
data mining goal is made, the data requirement is cleared and the business
scenarios are designed. Secondly, in the stage of data preparation, the data
collection, checking, repairing, cleaning and reconstruction are carried out.
Then, in the stage of data mining, using the selected data mining analysis
model, cluster analysis and association analysis is carried out, and the
monitoring analysis is further made. Through in-depth excavation of the
relevant influencing factors of operation efficiency, positioning the existing
problems in order to make the development of distribution network more
coordinated, and the operation more economical.
 INTRODUCTION

Project Supported by The National High Technology Research and Development of China 863
Program (2015AA050203) and Research Program of State Grid Corporation of China whose
value is extracted by using economic method through high -speed capture discovery and
analysis of the big data with complex sources
[1] . Big data is mainly used in commercial,
financial and other fields, and then gradually extended to the field of transportation, health care,
energy and other areas. Power system is regarded as one of the important technical fields of big
data applications
[2].With the continuous development of intelligent power grid, the power big
data will run through all aspects of the power industry production and management in the
future. The application of power big data technology is an inevitable requirement for the
development of information and intelligence in power industry.
OPERATION EFFICIENCY EVALUATION MODEL

Distribution network operation efficiency takes the

actual load duration curve of each device as the analysis
object. In the consideration of the operation safety and
economy of the distribution network, the degree of using
the power distribution capacity in the evaluation period is
analyzed.
 IDEA AND PROCESS OF MINING

The file and operation data of millions of the

distribution network main equipment in 2014 is obtained,
which include high voltage transmission line, transformer,
medium voltage distribution line and distribution
transformer. The big data mining analysis of distribution
network operation efficiency is carried out. The general
idea is shown in Fig 1.

 DATA MINING
Select the appropriate data mining model to carry out
mining analysis. Choose the K means algorithm as the
clustering analysis method, and the Pearson correlation
coefficient method is selected as the correlation analysis
method.
A. Cluster analysis
According to the load pattern, the selected load data of
the typical public distribution transformer is clustered.
Research, analysis and application based on the category
can be carried out, including the optimization of operation
mode, the arrangement of maintenance and so on.
 Case 1: The load data clustering of distribution
transformers
The load data of 6291 public distribution transformers
of typical day (August 8, 2014) is chose to do the cluster
analysis using K -means clustering algorithm. 6
categories are got, as shown in Fig 3. （a）Class 1 （b）Class 2

Class 1 accounts for 12.17%, showing single peak

characteristic; Class 2 accounts for 13%, showing
bimodal characteristic; Class 3 accounts for 4.63%,
showing continued low load characteristic; Class 4 （c）Class 3 （d）Class 4
accounts for 43.79%, showing large peak and small peak
characteristic; Class 5 and Class 6 accounts for 18.36%
and 8.06%, showing bimodal characteristic

 Equipment selection

The proportion and

distribution of distribution
transformer of large capacity
and low efficiency is as shown
in figure 8.
 Year of equipment operation

The proportion of distribution

transformer of 10 years is 23%, 45%
of which is inefficient distribution
transformers.
 CONCLUSION

The whole process and related business links of operation efficiency mining analysis based
on operation data of distribution network are elaborated in the three stages of business
understanding, data preparation and data mining.
Select the appropriate data mining model to carry out mining analysis in the three aspects of
cluster analysis, association analysis and monitoring analysis. Through the association analysis,
the operation efficiency of distribution network mainly depends on the internal factors of the
grid, and has little relevance to the external factors.Through the monitoring analysis , the weak
links of the device are positioned, and it can provide basis for the further optimization of the
distribution network.
