In recent years, forecasting has received increasing attention since it provides an important basis for the effective operation of power systems. In this paper, a hybrid method, composed of kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), tree seed algorithm based on Lévy flight (LTSA) and extreme learning machine (ELM), is proposed for short-term load forecasting. Specifically, the randomly generated weights and biases of ELM have a significant impact on the stability of prediction results. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, LTSA is utilized to obtain the optimal parameters before the prediction process is executed by ELM, which is called LTSA-ELM. Meanwhile, the input data is extracted by KPCA considering the sparseness of the electric load data and used as the input of LTSA-ELM model. The proposed method is tested on the data from European network on intelligent technologies (EUNITE) and experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approaches compared to the other methods involved in the paper.

Fault diagnosis is part of the maintenance system, which can reduce maintenance costs, increase productivity, and ensure the reliability of the machine system. In the fault diagnosis system, the analysis and extraction of fault signal characteristics are very important, which directly affects the accuracy of fault diagnosis. In the paper, a fast bearing fault diagnosis method based on the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), the moth-flame optimization algorithm based on Lévy flight (LMFO) and the naive Bayes (NB) is proposed, which combines traditional pattern recognition methods meta-heuristic search can overcome the difficulty of selecting classifier parameters while solving small sample classification under reasonable time cost. The article uses a typical rolling bearing system to test the actual performance of the method. Meanwhile, in comparison with the known algorithms and methods was also displayed in detail. The results manifest the efficiency and accuracy of signal sparse representation and fault type classification has been enhanced.
