Firstly, the pulse fault degree, amplitude fault degree and meteorological fault degree are obtained by analyzing the switching, electrical and meteorological information from multiple sources using the binary reasoning spiking neural P systems, Hilbert\u2013Huang transform and meteorological fusion methods, respectively. Then, the fault diagnosis results are obtained by fusing the various fault degrees using the analytic hierarchy process. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted on the standard IEEE39-bus system built by PSCAD simulation software, and the results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed diagnosis method in this paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e28060709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,25]],"date-time":"2026-06-25T08:14:12Z","timestamp":1782375252000},"page":"709","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Fault Diagnosis Method for Transmission Networks Based on Multi-Source Information Fusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9127-4140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shifu","family":"Gu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Information, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaotian","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Information, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"},{"name":"Neijiang Power Supply Company, State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company, Neijiang 641199, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6052-4290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Information, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Quanlin","family":"Leng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Information, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunyu","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Information, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"270","DOI":"10.1186\/s41601-020-00176-6","article-title":"Human reliability analysis in maintenance team of power transmission system protection","volume":"5","author":"Tavakoli","year":"2020","journal-title":"Prot.
