“…The artificial neural network (ANN) [32,33], fuzzy logic system [34,35], and support vector machine (SVM) [36,37] have been applied to predict the discharge voltages of air insulation gaps. In [36,37], a method based on electric field features and SVM was proposed for discharge voltage prediction of air gaps, and it has been successfully applied to predict the breakdown voltages of air gaps with typical and atypical electrodes [38][39][40] and the corona onset voltages of rod-plane gaps, conductors, and valve hall fittings [41,42]. Some features were extracted from the calculation results of the electric field distribution of an air gap to characterize its spatial structure, and the SVM was applied to establish the multidimensional nonlinear relationships between these features and the air gap discharge voltage.…”
