CVT error prediction method based on improved attention mechanism transformer model

In order to enhance the performance of capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) error prediction, we propose a transformer model (AM-transformer) error prediction method based on an improved attention mechanism. The method starts from both input data and model improvement, adopting Pearson’s correlation coefficient to calculate the environmental factors that have a greater impact on the CVT measurement error, and enhancing the ability of local learning of the attention mechanism by adding causal convolution and data segmentation operations. The experimental results show that the mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the method reach 0.016, 4.21% and 0.021, respectively, realizing a high prediction accuracy.
