In this study, the noises, temperatures and loads of 8 transformers in Istanbul İkitelli Organized Industrial Zone, as well as ambient conditions, were monitored at different moments over a period of 4 months and their data were recorded. It has been observed that the noise levels give different results according to the changing environmental conditions. The received data were determined as inputs and desired targets in MATLAB environment. The data were modeled with feed forward artificial neural network and recurrent artificial neural network types and different training percentages. The estimation results closest to the target were tried to be obtained. As a result of the study, it was seen that the recurrent neural network model was better and it gave better results when the training percentage needed for the network kept high.

Bu çalışmada İstanbul İkitelli Organize Sanayi Bölgesi'nde bulunan 8 adet trafonun gürültü, sıcaklık ve yükleri ile ortam koşulları 4 ay boyunca farklı anlarda izlenerek verileri kayıt altına alınmıştır. Gürültü düzeylerinin değişen çevre koşullarına göre farklı sonuçlar verdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Alınan veriler MATLAB ortamında girdi ve istenilen hedefler olarak belirlendi. Veriler ileri beslemeli yapay sinir ağı ve tekrarlayan yapay sinir ağı türleri ve farklı eğitim yüzdeleri ile modellenmiştir. Hedefe en yakın tahmin sonuçları elde edilmeye çalışıldı. Çalışma sonucunda tekrarlayan sinir ağı modelinin daha iyi olduğu ve eğitim yüzdesi yüksek tutulduğunda daha iyi sonuçlar verdiği görülmüştür.
