description Distribution automation remote terminal units (DRTUs) are the most important devices to sample voltage and current signals, identify the fault position, isolate the fault, and restore the power supply along distribution lines. We cannot adopt time-based maintenance because of the contradiction between the limited manpower and the plenty of DRTUs distributed in broad regions. In this paper, a double-layer improved cloud model (ICM) is proposed for the first time to realize the condition assessment of DRTUs for condition-based maintenance. The first-layer ICM is applied in the main station of whole distribution automation system (DAS) to evaluate the condition of all DRTUs based on the upload limited condition parameters by DRTUs in real time. And the second-layer ICM is applied in field to evaluate one DRTU which belongs to the abnormal DRTUs obtained after the first-layer evaluation. The DRTU test device are used to obtain detailed condition parameters, and these parameters are used in second-layer ICM to obtain accurate condition assessment score. The results in second-layer ICM would be used to optimize the evaluation algorithm in the first-layer evaluation. In the meantime, our proposed ICM combines the normal cloud model and the trapezoidal cloud model to deal with the optimal, negative, and intermediate indicators more effectively. The comparison with traditional evaluation methods shows that our proposed method is more suitable to realize the condition assessment of DRTUs in the distribution power networks.
