This paper presents an efficient approach to estimate the failures of various components in an induction motor using motor current signature analysis. Conventional sensor-based fault detection methods lead to huge manpower and require greater number of sensors. To overcome these drawbacks, current signature base fault detection is proposed. An advanced spectral analysis, namely discrete wavelet transform (DWT), is used for frequency domain analysis. This paper also presents fault severity estimation using feature extraction-based evaluation of DWT coefficients. As the DWT gives many coefficients at higher level decomposition which is essential for high resolution, fault classification and severity index become challenging. To address this issue, artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm is used after DWT decomposition. The fault severity is predicted by proposed fault indexing parameter of various features like energy, standard deviation, skewness, variance, RMS values. Conventional algorithms like support vector machine, k‐nearest neighbour, local mean decomposition-singular value decomposition and extreme learning machine have given maximum of 98–99% accuracy, Whereas the proposed DWT-based ANN has given 100% accuracy with tanh function. Moreover, the testing loss with this function is also very less. Experimental results have affirmed the accuracy of proposed fault detection of various faults in induction motor of rating 3—Phase, 1. 5KW, 440 V and 50 Hz. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In condition monitoring, accurate fault identification is an essential task for designing a proper maintenance strategy. Misalignment is one of the main faults in rotary machinery, because 70% of the failure occurs due to misalignment. Conventionally, the diagnosis of misalignment is carried out through vibration measurements. Especially, the presence of strong 2x vibration peak is generally accepted. Both angular and parallel misalignment shows peak at 2x, therefore, distinguishing misalignment type by using vibration signals alone is a difficult activity. This paper discusses classification of misalignment i.e., angular and parallel by using a diagnostic medium such as the acoustic emission and the rotor vibration signal. Vibro-acoustic sensors are used to collect data from the misaligned rotor system at two different loading, three different speed and three defect severity conditions. Time domain features are extracted and graded according to their significance using t test (One-way ANOVA) technique. Extracted features are used to train different algorithms. The outcome obtained using support vector machine (SVM) is 100% accurate. Vibro-acoustic sensor data fusion technique is employed to classify various forms of misalignment under different operating conditions. This work also intended to explore using a small amount of training data using different algorithms. The proposed method outperforms fault classification using vibration signal and acoustic signal separately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, the concept of the microgrid (MG) has been developed to assist the penetration of large numbers of distributed energy resources (DERs) into distribution networks. However, the integration of DERs in the form of MGs disturbs the operating codes of traditional distribution networks. Consequently, traditional protection strategies cannot be applied to MG against short-circuit faults. This paper presents a novel intelligent protection strategy (NIPS) for MGs based on empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. In the proposed NIPS, firstly, the three-phase current signals measured by protective relays are decomposed into empirical modes (EMs). Then, various statistical features are extracted from the obtained EMs. Afterwards, the extracted features along with the three-phase current measurement are input to three different LSTM network to obtain exact fault type, phase, and location information. Finally, a trip signal based on the obtained fault information is generated to disconnect the faulty portion from the rest of the MG. The significant feature of the proposed NIPS is that it does not need adaptive relaying and communication networks. Moreover, it is independent of the operating scenario and hence fault current magnitude. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed NIPS, exhaustive simulations are performed on an international electro-technical commission (IEC) MG. The simulation results confirm the efficiency of the proposed NIPs in terms of accuracy, dependability, and security. Moreover, comparisons with existing intelligent protection schemes validate that the proposed NIPS is highly accurate, secure, and dependable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Machine learning and other data-driven methods have developed at a prolific rate for industrial applications due to the advent of industrial big data. However, industrial datasets may not be especially well-suited to supervised learning approaches that require extensive domain knowledge in the complete and accurate labeling of datasets. To address these challenges, a semi-supervised learning approach is proposed that makes use of partially labeled subsets. The proposed methodology is applied to high-dimensional in-process measurement data, utilizing a convolutional autoencoder (CAE) for unsupervised feature extraction. A multiclass extension for semi-supervised anomaly diagnosis is proposed that utilizes principal component analysis (PCA) as the basis for anomaly scoring, and the proposed approach intersects the results of targeted one-against-all phases on partially labeled sets to classify faults. Experiments in a case study on semiconductor manufacturing measurement data are performed to explore the relationship between latent features extracted and anomaly detection performance. The application of the proposed algorithm achieves a true positive detection rate of over 90% with false positive rate under 9% for both local and global anomaly types, with these results accomplished while reducing over 99% of the original input data dimensions. In addition, the approach also allows for positive samples to be identified that were previously undetected by human experts. These results are promising for the application of the proposed semi-supervised methodology in real industrial settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rotor bars are one of the most failure-critical components in induction machines. We present an approach for developing a rotor bar fault identification classifier for induction machines. The developed machine learning-based models are based on simulated electrical current and vibration velocity data and measured vibration acceleration data. We introduce an approach that combines sequential model-based optimization and the nested cross-validation procedure to provide a reliable estimation of the classifiers' generalization performance. These methods have not been combined earlier in this context. Automation of selected parts of the modeling procedure is studied with the measured data. We compare the performance of logistic regression and CatBoost models using the fast Fourier-transformed signals or their extracted statistical features as the input data. We develop a technique to use domain knowledge to extract features from specific frequency ranges of the fast Fourier-transformed signals. While both approaches resulted in similar accuracy with simulated current and measured vibration acceleration data, the feature-based models were faster to develop and run. With measured vibration acceleration data, better accuracy was obtained with the raw fast Fourier-transformed signals. The results demonstrate that an accurate and fast broken rotor bar detection model can be developed with the presented approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The photovoltaic (PV) array is the most sensible element in PV plants, which is subject to different type of faults and defects. Thus, to keep these plants working efficiently they should be monitored and protected carefully. Some faults if they are not detected and isolated promptly they may lead to hazardous risks. The diagnosis of PV systems is widely addressed and recently machine learning (ML) and deep leaning (DL) methods drawn the attention of many researchers. Most applications of ML methods are based on the use of the I–V curves measurement, as enough information and features can be extracted from the curves, to detect and classify faults. These methods showed their capability to classify some faults, like line to line, degradation, disconnected PV modules, partial shading effect, and bypass diode faults. Another approach is based on the use of thermal or electroluminescence images of PV modules/arrays to detect and identify defects, such as hot spot, snails crack, and others. In this paper, different ML and ensemble learning (EL) methods are evaluated for fault diagnosis of PV arrays. The focus is mainly on the detection and classification of some complex faults that may affect the PV arrays, i.e., multiple faults, and faults with similar I–V curves, that are not evaluated before. The results showed the ability of the methods developed to detect faults with very good accuracy (classification rate = number of classified instances/total instances), within 99%, while the classification faults is done with an acceptable accuracy, within 81.73%. Through this study it is shown when really ML and EL methods should be used, and some recommendations, challenges and future directions in this topic are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Induction motors are important equipment in modern industry. However, the occurrence of fatigue failure following an extended period of operation invariably results in a catastrophic failure. As a result, monitoring and diagnosing induction motors is critical to avoiding unplanned shutdowns caused by premature failures. This article aims to develop an effective method for motor fault detection using time–frequency contents of vibration signals and an attention-based convolutional neural network model. First, the vibration signals are collected and labeled into five different categories: normal condition, outer ring fault, inner ring fault, misalignment condition, and broken rotor bar. Then, using the Morlet function, continuous wavelet transform (CWT) converts the vibratory time-series signals to the scalogram feature images. The time–frequency feature images are created after downsampling and converting the measured vibration signals to the frequency domain. These images are then resized and fed into the proposed convolutional attention neural network (CANN) to identify various induction motor failures. The experimental results demonstrate that the suggested model can provide an excellent diagnosis accuracy of 99.43%, significantly better than the state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for fault diagnosis. Moreover, the developed model’s robustness is validated against adversarial attacks based on the fast gradient sign method (FGSM) by including white Gaussian noise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rolling element bearings (REBs) are vital parts of rotating machinery across various industries. For preventing breakdowns and damages during operation, it is crucial to establish appropriate techniques for condition monitoring and fault diagnostics of these bearings. The development of machine learning (ML) brings a new way of diagnosing the fault of rolling element bearings. In the current work, ML models, namely, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), are used to classify the faults associated with different ball bearing elements. Using open-source Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) bearing data, machine learning classifiers are trained with extracted time-domain and frequency-domain features. The results show that frequency-domain features are more convincing for the training of ML models, and the KNN classifier has a high level of accuracy compared to SVM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a procedure aimed at the automatic extraction of the features from polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell impedance spectra is proposed. An artificial neural network that is trained by exploiting the similarity learning concept has been used. The network learns the features of the impedance spectra and maps each of them into the embedding space by clustering them accurately and by emphasising differences among spectra corresponding to different faults. The siamese network structure is optimised and the quality of the learnt representation is evaluated by analysing the clusters obtained in the features space. The dataset of experimental spectra has been augmented in two different ways and the results are compared. The clustering quality of the proposed siamese network is compared with the one of other state of the art approaches. [Display omitted] • A Siamese Neural Network is used to analyse the impedance spectra of a PEM fuel cell. • The SNN is able to extract the features corresponding to each faulty condition. • Two different data augmentation approaches are used to train the SNN and their performance is analysed. • The approach is tested on a set of noisy impedance spectra.

This article proposes the idea of fault classification-based control for the steady-state operation of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). The idea of fault classification is achieved with the help of wavelet transforms and support vector machines, and the control is performed using a wavelet fuzzy controller. Initially, a brief idea of faults that affect the stable operation of USVs is identified. Furthermore, the surge and sway translational motion of USVs are realized with the help of a ball balancer setup. The fault data are measured in terms of plate angle, ball position, and motor operating voltage for developing the fault classifier. The proposed algorithm depicted improved classification accuracy when compared with conventional methods. To accommodate the operation of the system as per the operating state, a wavelet-based fuzzy controller is proposed. The proposed controller solves the problem of position tracking and balancing for ball and plate system with high precision, hence achieving the stable operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fault classification is vital in smart manufacturing, and convolutional neural network (CNN) has been widely applied in fault classification. But the performance of CNN heavily depends on its learning rate. As the default setting on learning rate cannot guarantee its performance, the learning rate tuning process becomes essential. However, the traditional learning rate tuning methods either cost much time consumption or rely on the experts’ experiences, so it is a considerable barrier for the users. To overcome this drawback, this article proposes a CNN with automatic learning rate scheduler (AutoLR-CNN) for fault classification. First, the long short-term memory (LSTM) is used to extract the features of the past loss of CNN. Then, an agent based on deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) is trained to automatically control the learning rate for CNN online. Third, the double CNN structure is developed to enhance the stability of the proposed method. The proposed AutoLR-CNN is tested on two famous bearing data sets and a practical bearing data set on wind turbine. The results of AutoLR-CNN are superior to six commonly used baseline learning rate schedulers in Tensorflow. AutoLR-CNN is also compared with other reported machine learning and deep learning methods. The results show that AutoLR-CNN has achieved the state-of-the-art performance in fault classification.

Purpose: This study aims to use frequency response analysis, a powerful tool to detect the location and types of transformer winding faults. Proposing an effective intelligent approach for interpreting the frequency responses is the most crucial problem of this method and has created many challenges. Design/methodology/approach: Heat maps based on appropriate statistical indices have been supplied to depict the variations in the frequency responses associated with each fault type, fault location and fault extent along the windings. Also, after analyzing the results of artificial neural network (ANN) techniques, the generalized regression neural network method is introduced as the most effective solution for the classification of transformer winding faults. Findings: Using a comparative approach, the performance of the used indices and ANN techniques are evaluated. The results showed the proper performance of Lin's concordance coefficient (LCC) index and the amplitude (Amp) part of the frequency response. The proposed fitting percentage (FP) index can assist the intelligent classifiers in diagnosing the radial deformation (RD) fault with the highest accuracy considering all frequency response components in the classification procedure of winding faults. Practical implications: Various ANN techniques are used to detect and determine the type of four important faults of transformer winding, i.e. axial displacement, RD, disc space variation and short circuit. Various statistical indices, such as cross-correlation factor, LCC, standard difference area, sum of errors, normalized root-mean-square deviation and FP, are used to extract the features of the frequency responses to consider as the ANN inputs. In addition, different components of the frequency response, such as Amp, argument, real and imaginary parts are examined in this paper. To implement the proposed procedure, step by step, various types of winding faults with different locations and extents are applied on the 20 kV winding of a 1.6 MVA distribution transformer. Originality/value: Contributions have been made in identifying and diagnosing transformer winding defects through the use of appropriate algorithms for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, precise and deterministic feature extraction is one of the current research topics for bearing fault diagnosis. For this aim, an experimental bearing test setup was created in this study. In this setup, vibration signals were obtained from the bearings on which artificial faults were generated in specific sizes. A new feature extraction method based on co-occurrence matrices for bearing vibration signals was proposed instead of the conventional feature extraction methods, as in the literature. The One (1) Dimensional–Local Binary Patterns (1D-LBP) method was first applied to bearing vibration signals, and a new signal whose values ranged between 0–255 was obtained. Then, co-occurrence matrices were obtained from these signals. The correlation, energy, homogeneity, and contrast features were extracted from these matrices. Different machine learning methods were employed with these features to carry out the classification process. Three different data sets were used to test the proposed approach. As a result of analysing the signals with the proposed model, the success rate is 87.50% for dataset1 (different speed), 96.5% for dataset2 (fault size (mm)) and 99.30% for dataset3 (fault type – inner ring, outer ring, ball) was found, respectively.

The fault classification of medium-voltage transmission lines consisting of wind farms connected to the high-voltage (HV) transmission networks is carried out using the power-spectrum-based hyperbolic S-transform (HST) powerful technique for analysing non-linear and non-stationary fault signals through the non-intrusive monitoring systems. The HST technique extracts the useful features in the time-frequency domain from measuring fault current waveforms of the HV utility side to discriminate the fault types. Parseval's theorem is applied to each HST coefficient to quantify the energy distribution of various fault types for reducing the size of inputs for recognition algorithms. Next, multiclass support vector machines achieve identification. The results have proved that the proposed classification technique is independent of fault resistance, source impedance, and fault inception angles. Extensive simulations are conducted using the electromagnetic transients program to show that the recognition accuracy of the fault classification for all types is up to 96.84%.

To improve power system reliability, a protection mechanism is highly needed. Early detection can be used to prevent failures in the power transmission line (TL). A classification system method is widely used to protect against false detection as well as assist the decision analysis. Each TL signal has a continuous pattern in which it can be detected and classified by the conventional methods, i.e., wavelet feature extraction and artificial neural network (ANN). However, the accuracy resulting from these mentioned models is relatively low. To overcome this issue, we propose a machine learning-based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for the transmission line faults (TLFs) application. CNN is more suitable for pattern recognition compared to conventional ANN and ANN with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) feature extraction. In this work, we first simulate our proposed model by using Simulink® and Matlab®. This simulation generates a fault signal dataset, which is divided into 45.738 data training and 4.752 data tests. Later, we design the number of machine learning classifiers. Each model classifier is trained by exposing it to the same dataset. The CNN design, with raw input, is determined as an optimal output model from the training process with 100% accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Accurate fault classification is the premise of fault location and management study in a power distribution network. In most of the traditional fault classification methods used in power distribution network, the characteristic quantities are selected by experience, which will increase the uncertainty of fault classification results. A novel fault classification method based on deep belief networks (DBN) is proposed in this paper. Samples of fault current and voltage are preprocessed by min–max standardization and waveform splicing firstly, then they are used to train the DBN together with fault type label. Characteristic quantities of the current and voltage will be automatically extracted by the well‐trained DBN model, and the reliable fault type classification of distribution network can be realized. Simulation and experimental results show that the fault classification method is suitable for distribution network, and it has not only characteristics of obvious fault feature extraction and high fault classification accuracy, but also has good adaptability while the neutral grounding modes changing or used in power distribution network with distributed generator. © 2020 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Stacked auto-encoder (SAE)-based deep learning has been introduced for fault classification in recent years, which has the potential to extract deep abstract features from the raw input data. However, SAE cannot ensure the relevance of deep features with the fault types due to its unsupervised self-reconstruction in the pretraining stage. To overcome this problem, a stacked supervised auto-encoder is proposed to pretrain the deep network and obtain deep fault-relevant features from raw input data. In each supervised auto-encoder, informative features are learned from the input data with the goal that they can largely distinguish different fault types. By stacking multiple supervised auto-encoders hierarchically, high-level fault-relevant features are gradually learned from raw input data, which can improve the classification accuracy of the classifiers. The proposed SSAE is tested on the Tennessee–Eastman (TE) benchmark process and a real industrial hydrocracking process. The results show the effectiveness and flexibility of SSAE. • A stacked supervised auto-encoder is proposed to pretrain deep network and obtain deep fault-relevant features. • In each supervised auto-encoder, informative features are learned from the input data with the goal that they can largely distinguish different fault types. • High-level fault-relevant features are gradually learned from raw input data by hierarchically stacking multiple supervised auto-encoders. • High classification performance of the proposed method is validated on TE process and an industrial hydrocracking process.

Fault diagnosis of bearings using classification techniques plays an important role in industrial applications, and, hence, has received increasing attention. Recently, significant efforts have been made to develop various methods for bearing fault classification and the application of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) data for validation has become a standard reference to test the fault classification algorithms. However, a systematic research for evaluating bearing fault classification performance using the CWRU data is still lacking. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive benchmark analysis of the CWRU data using various entropy and classification methods. The main contribution of this paper is applying entropy-based fault classification methods to establish a benchmark analysis of entire CWRU datasets, aiming to provide a proper assessment of any new classification methods. Recommendations are provided for the selection of the CWRU data to aid in testing new fault classification algorithms, which will enable the researches to develop and evaluate various diagnostic algorithms. In the end, the comparison results and discussion are reported as a useful baseline for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Under laboratory conditions, the acoustic emission signals of the pipeline under normal and different fault conditions are collected, the characteristic parameters are extracted, the characteristic parameters are reconstructed by the deep confidence network and the classification model is established, and the number of model nodes is adjusted according to the characteristics of the collected sample data, and the parameter optimization model is obtained after the final diagnosis. The studies have shown that: under the same conditions, using the classification model established after the reconstruction of the depth of belief networks characteristic parameters have better stability and higher accuracy.

The inherent uncertainty of software gives a vague and imprecise solution when it is solved by human judgment. As the project expands, the issues of missing data values, outlier detection, feature subset selection and prediction of faultiness behaviour should be addressed. The feature selection process may lead to the production of high-dimensional data sets that may contribute to many irrelevant or redundant features. In this paper, we focussed on the optimal feature subset selection and fault prediction at the early stage of a project. We propose the novel approach of grey relational analysis (GRA) from grey system theory by optimizing the grey relational grade function using biogeography optimization referred to as B-GRA. The proposed algorithm gives resilience to users to select features for both continuous and categorical attributes. The issues such as feature subset selection, heterogeneity of data sets, outlier analysis and fault prediction are addressed, and then, B-GRA and GRA approaches on five publically available data sets are evaluated using statistical and machine learning techniques. Experimental results show significant results indicating that the proposed methodology can be used for the prediction of faults and produce conceivable results when compared with the GRA feature selection approach.

In this paper, machine learning technique is used to detect and classify all shunt faults in a UPFC compensated transmission line. A four-bus three-machine system with detailed modelling of UPFC has been used for fault simulation studies in MATLAB/Simulink. Instantaneous voltage and current signals obtained at local bus terminal are processed with DFT and statistical method for feature extraction. The input features of the ANN are minimised by using the statistical method. Generated features are used for training the ANN module. Trained ANN modules are used for testing different fault conditions in the time domain. Rigorous simulation studies have been performed with a wide variety of different possible fault situations. Simulation results bring out the superiority of the scheme. Moreover, the error introduced due to CT, CCVT and Dynamic behaviour of the UPFC has been considered for testing the trained ANNs by varying the different operating mode of UPFC, and different compensation levels, wherein all the cases, the performance is found reliable.

To achieve planetary gearbox fault classification, vibration signal analysis has been widely employed with rich information about the health status and easy measurement. It is critical to extract features with enough health status information for fault classification. The self-adaptation of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) indicates the dependence between the raw vibration signal and EEMD-decomposed intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). In this study, we develop a novel fault feature vector based on the dependence. To develop the dependence-based feature vector, simulated vibration signals with different sun gear tooth crack levels are analyzed. The dependence between the raw signal and each IMF is investigated by Archimedean copulas. With the goodness-of-fit test, the copula estimation closest to the perfect fit is selected for dependence representation. The parameter of the selected copula is applied to develop the dependence-based feature vector. To test the ability of the dependence-based feature vector in fault classification for a real planetary gearbox, experimental vibration signals with different gear fault levels at different gears are classified by a multi-class support vector machine. The classification accuracy of the developed feature vector is compared with that of a reported indicator. Results show the dependence-based feature vector provides higher classification accuracy than the reported, indicating the developed feature vector contains more health status information. The developed feature vector can serve better for planetary gearbox fault classification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In order to simplify the process of analogue circuit fault diagnosis under the premise of improving the fault diagnosis rate of analogue circuit, and to deeply mine the fault characteristics of the output signal, a fault diagnosis method based on convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed. The output signals in different fault states are directly input into CNN for fault feature extraction and fault classification. By optimising the CNN model and its parameters, the 100% fault diagnosis rate of Sallen‐Key circuit can be achieved. The experimental results indicate that the CNN‐based analogue circuit fault diagnosis method simplifies the fault diagnosis process and improves the fault diagnosis rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are growing demands for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of rotating machinery to lower unscheduled breakdown. Gearboxes are one of the fundamental components of rotating machinery; their faults identification and classification always draw a lot of attention. However, non-stationary vibration signals and low energy of weak faults makes this task challenging in many cases. Thus, a new fault diagnosis method which combines the Hilbert empirical wavelet transform (HEWT), singular value decomposition (SVD), and self-organizing feature map (SOM) neural network is proposed in this paper. HEWT, a new self-adaptive time-frequency analysis was applied to the vibration signals to obtain the instantaneous amplitude matrices. Then, the singular value vectors, as the fault feature vectors were acquired by applying the SVD. Last, the SOM was used for automatic gearbox fault identification and classification. An electromechanical model comprising an induction motor coupled with a single stage spur gearbox is considered where the vibration signals of four typical operation modes were simulated. The conditions include the healthy gearbox, input shaft slant crack, tooth cracking, and tooth surface pitting. Obtained results show that the proposed method effectively identifies the gearbox faults at an early stage and realizes automatic fault diagnosis. Moreover, performance evaluation and comparison between the proposed HEWT–SVD method and Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT)–SVD approach show that the HEWT–SVD is better for feature extraction.

Vibration signal of gearbox systems carries the important dynamic information for fault diagnosis. However, vibration signals always show non stationary behavior and overwhelmed by a large amount of noise make this task challenging in many cases. Thus, a new fault diagnosis method combining the Hilbert empirical wavelet transform (HEWT), the singular value decomposition (SVD) and Elman neural network is proposed in this paper. Vibration signals of normal gear, gear with tooth root crack, gear with chipped tooth in width, gear with chipped tooth in length, gear with missing tooth and gear with general surface wear are collected in different speed and load conditions. HEWT, a new self-adaptive time-frequency analysis, was applied to the vibration signals to obtain the instantaneous amplitude matrices. Singular value vectors, as the fault feature vectors were then acquired by applying the SVD. Last, the Elman neural network was used for automatic gearbox fault identification and classification. Through experimental results, it was concluded that the proposed method can accurately extract and classify the gear fault features under variable conditions. Moreover, the performance of the proposed HEWT-SVD method has an advantage over that of Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT)-SVD, local mean decomposition (LMD)-SVD or wavelet packet transform (WPT)-PCA for feature extraction.

- Abstract
In this study, a novel algorithm for detecting and classifying faults in transmission lines is proposed. The algorithm is based on mathematical morphology and initial current travelling waves. A new morphological edge detection (MED) filter to extract the transient features from the original fault signal is designed. This MED filter can fast and accurately detect the arrival time and polarity of travelling waves in all conditions. The appropriate criteria of fault classification and faulted‐phase selection are introduced based on polarity of initial current travelling waves.

Gearbox is subject to damage or malfunctions by complicated factors such as installation position and operation condition, meanwhile, accompanied by some nonlinear behaviors, which increase the difficulty of fault diagnosis and identification. Kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is a commonly used method to realize nonlinear mapping via kernel function for feature extraction. However, choosing an appropriate kernel function and the proper setting of its parameter are decisive to obtain a high performance of the kernel methods. In this paper, we present a novel approach combining PSO and KPCA to enhance the fault classification performance. The standard particle swarm optimization (WPSO) was used to regularize kernel function parameter of KPCA instead of the empirical value. In particular, in view of the thought of Fisher Discriminate Analysis (FDA) in pattern recognition, the optimal mathematical model of kernel parameter was constructed, and its global optimal solution was searched by WPSO. The effectiveness of the method was proven using the Iris data set classification and gearbox faults classification. In the process, gearbox fault experiments were carried out, and the vibration signals in different conditions have been tested and processed, and the fault feature parameters were extracted. At last the analysis results of gearbox fault recognition was obtained by KPCA and compared with PCA. The results show that the separability of failure patterns in the feature space is improved after kernel parameter optimized by WPSO-FDA. The problems of single failure and compound fault recognition have been effectively solved by the optimized KPCA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis are important for maintaining the system performance and guaranteeing the operational safety. The traditional data‐driven approaches mostly incorporate well‐defined features and methodologies such as supervised artificial intelligence algorithms. Prior knowledge of possible features and a large quantity of labelled condition data are needed. Besides, many traditional approaches require rebuilding or a retraining of the original model to diagnosis new conditions. The present study proposes an intelligent fault diagnosis approach that uses a deep neural network (DNN) based on stacked denoising autoencoder. Representative features are learned by applying the denoising autoencoder to the unlabelled data in an unsupervised manner. A DNN is then constructed and fine‐tuned with just a few items of labelled data. The trained DNN achieves high performance in fault classification. Furthermore, new conditions can be correctly classified by simply fine‐tuning the trained DNN model using a small amount of labelled data under the new conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated using a case study of fault diagnosis of a bearing unit. The results indicate that the proposed method can extract representative features from massive unlabelled data on the system condition and achieve high performance in fault diagnosis.

This paper presents a non-unit protection scheme for series capacitor compensated transmission lines (SCCTL) using discrete wavelet transform and k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) algorithm. All the protective relaying functions such as fault detection, fault classification, faulty phase identification and fault location estimation have been considered in this work. Such a comprehensive work providing all protective relaying functions for protection of double circuit SCCTL utilizing k-NN has not been reported so far. The signal processing and feature extraction are done using discrete wavelet transform due to its capability to differentiate between high and low frequency transient components. For fault detection and classification, only approximate wavelet coefficient of current signal up to level 1 has been used; while for k-NN location estimation, both voltage and current signals of the two circuits are decomposed up to level 3 have been used. Finally, the standard deviation of one cycle pre-fault and one cycle post-fault samples of the approximate wavelet coefficients are calculated to form the feature vector for the k-NN-based algorithm. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated for large number of fault events with variation in fault type including inter-circuit faults, fault inception angle, fault location and fault resistance. The change in position of series capacitor and different degree of compensation has been discussed. The accuracy of the proposed k-NN-based fault detection and classification module is 100% for all the tested fault cases with a decision period of less than half cycle. The k-NN-based fault location scheme estimates the location of fault with ≤1% error for most of the tested fault cases, which is an exceptional attribute of the proposed scheme as compared with 10–15% error of conventional distance relaying scheme.

Several methods for the location and classification of faults in power transmission lines using computational intelligence and digital signal processing techniques have been described in literature. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and wavelet transform (WT) have drawn significant attention lately, but they present some drawbacks when dealing with power systems faults where data are often contaminated by noise. This paper proposes an approach by combining independent component analysis (ICA) with travelling wave (TW) theory and support vector machine (SVM). The approach is adequate to locate and recognize faults in high-voltage (HV) transmission lines, while the acquired signals are noisy. Experiments performed for distinct types and locations of faults in a real transmission line model have shown that the proposed combined methods are able to provide excellent performance in fault location. The obtained errors are lower than 1% and accuracy is 100% for the classification of fault signals with noise. It can be stated that this method presents better performance than those regarding the main conventional techniques such as wavelets and neural networks in the presence of noise.

• A hybrid data-scaling method combining Min-max and Box-Cox transformation was proposed. • It yields accurate fault classification for unbalanced and multi-domain data in industrial fields. • The health index evaluates classification difficulty before generating complex classification models. • Various scaling methods were compared using box plots and t-SNE for selected feature values. • Various classification models (SVM, RF, KNN, and XGBoost) were compared. Fault diagnosis of compressors in air conditioners is challenging owing to the imbalance and nonlinearity of the vibration data because of the contrasting failure modes. This study proposes a hybrid data-scaling method combining Min-Max normalization and Box-Cox transform methods. The Min-Max normalization method was employed to scale the multi-domain data with different failure modes whereas the Box-Cox transformation method transformed the nonlinear distributions of features into normal distributions, thereby rendering the classification of unbalanced and insufficient data easier. The primary features for fault diagnosis were extracted using an embedded feature extraction method and were consequently used to generate fault classification models such as support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) to classify refrigerant deficiencies and motor demagnetization defects. The proposed hybrid data-scaling demonstrates the most accurate and robust classification performance relative to conventional data-scaling methods, regardless of the types of classification models.

Since industrial process data often presents strong correlations, high complexity, and nonlinear patterns, a proficient deep learning model is required for the fault classification task. Recent researches have shown that deep learning models like stacked autoencoder (SAE) are able to learn deep abstract features from complex process data. Nevertheless, a traditional SAE cannot extract the informative fault-relevant features and data distribution features from industrial process data, which are necessary for effective fault classification in industrial processes. Thus, this study proposes a semi-supervised Inter-Relational Mahalanobis SAE (IRM-SAE) model to learn inter-relational distribution and fault-relevant dynamic features of process data for fault classification. First, the Inter-Relational Mahalanobis loss is introduced into the original objective function of SAE to learn meaningful inter-relational distribution features within the data. Then, an active time frame technique is developed to preprocess the input data to capture the dynamic features of the data. Furthermore, to fully utilize both labeled and unlabeled data in industrial processes, the semi-supervised strategy is introduced to learn fault-related features for better fault classification. To validate the performance of the proposed model, it is applied on the Tennessee–Eastman process and a real-world industrial hydrocracking process. The experimental results show that the proposed model has higher fault classification performance compared to other deep learning models. • A novel semi-supervised Inter-Relational Mahalanobis SAE (IRM-SAE) model is proposed to learn inter-relational distribution and fault-relevant dynamic features of process data. • An active time frame technique is developed to preprocess the process data to capture the dynamic features of the data. • To fully utilize both labeled and unlabeled data in industrial processes, the semi-supervised strategy is introduced to learn fault-related features for better fault classification. • The experimental results on two industrial processes show that the proposed model has higher fault classification performance compared to other deep learning models.

Diagnosis aims at predicting the health status of components and systems. In photovoltaic systems, it is vital to guarantee energy production and extend the useful life of photovoltaic power plants. Multiple prediction and classification algorithms have been proposed for this purpose in the literature. The accuracy of these algorithms depends directly on the quality of the data and the features with which they are tuned or trained. In this paper, an innovative approach for predicting the health status of photovoltaic systems is proposed, which includes a feature selection stage. This approach first discriminates severely affected photovoltaic panels using basic electrical features. In a second step, it discriminates the other faulty panels using more elaborated time–frequency features and selecting the most relevant features through correlation and variance analysis. Finally, the approach predicts the health status of photovoltaic panels using a nonlinear regression method named partial least squares. This later is then combined with linear discriminant analysis and compared. The approach is validated with real current data from a photovoltaic plant composed of twelve photovoltaic panels with power between 205 and 240 Wp in three health states, namely broken glass, healthy, and big snail trails. The results obtained show that the proposed approach efficiently predicts the three health states. It determines the level of degradation of the panels, which indicates priorities to corrective and predictive maintenance actions. Furthermore, it is cost-effective since it uses only electrical measurements that are already available in standard photovoltaic data acquisition systems. Above all, the approach is generic and it can be easily extrapolated to other diagnosis problems in other domains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• A novel accommodative random weighted fusion algorithm is proposed. • More feature information can be retained by using BB-1D-TP feature extraction. • A new gear fault diagnosis method is constructed with high accuracy. As an essential component of a gearbox, gears can damage a structure or even an entire gear transmission system in case of failures. As a result, advanced fault diagnosis methods are crucial to system's operation. Currently, single-signal-driven gear fault diagnosis techniques have been applied in many fields, but multipath noise and single-sensor sampling errors inevitably affected the accuracy of diagnosis. This paper proposes a gear fault diagnosis method based on a novel accommodative random weighting theory and a balanced binary one dimension ternary pattern (BB-1D-TP) model. It can accurately diagnose the types of gear failures under the circumstances of multiple channels and strong background noise. The novel accommodative random weighting algorithm reduces the total mean-square error (MSE) by adaptively adjusting the proportional connection between a measured value at a present state and a historical state. Then the balanced binary algorithm extracts texture features of fault signals for signal enhancement. In the end, the classification is done by using Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. The result of experiments demonstrated that the method in this article effectively improves accuracy and efficiency of gear fault identification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article demonstrates a technique for diagnosis of fault type and faulty phase on overhead transmission lines. A method for computation of fault location is also incorporated in this work. The proposed method is based on the multi-resolution S-transform, which is used for generating complexS-matrices of the current signals measured at the sending and receiving ends of the line. The peak magnitude of the absolute value of everyS-matrix is noted. The phase angle corresponding to every peak component is obtained from the argument of the relevantS-matrix. These features are used as input vectors of a probabilistic neural network for fault detection and classification. Detection of faulty phase(s) is followed by estimation of fault location. The voltage signal of the affected phase is processed to generate theS-matrix. The frequency components of theS-matrices for different fault locations are used as input vectors for training a back-propagation neural network. The results are obtained with satisfactory accuracy and speed. All the simulations have been done in MATLAB (The MathWorks, Natick, Massachusetts, USA) environment for different values of fault locations, fault resistances, and fault inception angles. The effect of noise on both the current and voltage signals has been investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is receiving more and more attentions. Vibration signals of rotating machinery are commonly analyzed to extract features of faults, and the features are identified with classifiers, e.g. artificial neural networks (ANNs) and support vector machines (SVMs). Due to nonlinear behaviors and unknown noises in machinery, the extracted features are varying from sample to sample, which may result in false classifications. It is also difficult to analytically ensure the accuracy of fault diagnosis. In this paper, a feature extraction and evaluation method is proposed for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. Based on the central limit theory, an extraction procedure is given to obtain the statistical features with the help of existing signal processing tools. The obtained statistical features approximately obey normal distributions. They can significantly improve the performance of fault classification, and it is verified by taking ANN and SVM classifiers as examples. Then the statistical features are evaluated with a decoupling technique and compared with thresholds to make the decision on fault classification. The proposed evaluation method only requires simple algebraic computation, and the accuracy of fault classification can be analytically guaranteed in terms of the so-called false classification rate (FCR). An experiment is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, where the unbalanced fault of rotor, inner race fault, outer race fault and ball fault of bearings are considered.

This paper proposes an approach for a 2-D representation of Shannon wavelets for highly reliable fault diagnosis of multiple induction motor defects. Since the wavelet transform is efficient for analyzing non-stationary and non-deterministic vibration signals, this paper utilizes wavelet coefficients deduced from the Shannon mother wavelet function with varying dilation and translation parameters to create 2-D gray-level images. Using the resulting images and their associated texture characteristics, this paper extracts features by generating global neighborhood structure maps, which are used to extract global image features. The texture features are then used as inputs in one-against-all multi-class support vector machines to identify faults in the induction machine. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, it is compared with five conventional state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of classification accuracy. In addition, this paper explores the robustness of the proposed approach in noisy environments by adding white Gaussian noise to the acquired vibration signals. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach outperforms conventional algorithms in terms of the classification accuracy. Moreover, the proposed approach achieves higher classification accuracy, even in noisy environments. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

To solve the diagnosis problem of fault classification for aero-engine vibration over standard during test, a fault diagnosis classification approach based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) feature extraction and multi-support vector machines (SVM) is proposed, which extracted the feature of testing cell standard fault samples through exhausting the capability of nonlinear feature extraction of KPCA. By computing inner product kernel functions of original feature space, the vibration signal of rotor is transformed from principal low dimensional feature space to high dimensional feature spaces by this nonlinear map. Then, the nonlinear principal components of original low dimensional space are obtained by performing PCA on the high dimensional feature spaces. During muti-SVM training period, as eigenvectors, the nonlinear principal components are separated into training set and test set, and penalty parameter and kernel function parameter are optimized by adopting genetic optimization algorithm. A high classification accuracy of training set and test set is sustained and over-fitting and under-fitting are avoided. Experiment results indicate that this method has good performance in distinguishing different aero-engine fault mode, and is suitable for fault recognition of a high speed rotor.

Worm gearboxes (WG) are frequently used in many areas of the industry. WG is different from other gearbox types and due to their working principles they are under high risk of wear and fault. Therefore, detection of faults that may occur in WG and taking measures accordingly are especially important for systems and facilities that require uninterrupted operation. This paper introduces an intelligent feature selection and classification method for fault diagnosis of WGs under different working conditions. The novelty of the study lies in the selection of feature sources and different loading and speed conditions for condition monitoring studies of WGs experimentally. Fault detection and classification were performed based on vibration, sound and thermal images data which were acquired and processed from the healthy and the faulty WG. Apart from classical studies, time and frequency domain features and thermal images features were extracted and evaluated singularly, dual or triple forms with ANN (Artificial Neural Network) and SVM (Support Vector Machines) classifiers. Reasonable classification performances for fault detection were observed when the features of all three sources used (99.2% with ANN and 98.7% with SVM). ANN and SVM classification performances are almost equal for fault classification (98.9% with SVM and 98.6% with ANN). The findings of the study would be a possible means for online condition monitoring of industrial plants, conveyors, elevators, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This article studies if machine faults can be effectively determined in a reduced dimensional space. When faults occur in machines, machine vibration signals will deviate from its normal signal pattern. Such changes can be reflected in the features constructed from the machine signals. In this article, 13-dimension feature data set is constructed to represent different health conditions of machines, and unsupervised learning algorithms are introduced to deal with feature data sets for feature extraction and fault classification. A weighted local and global regressive mapping (WLGRM) algorithm is proposed for machine fault classification. Two synthetic fault data sets and two experimental data sets are employed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Comparative analysis with other unsupervised learning algorithms, such as local and global regressive mapping, locality preserving projection, Isomap, principal component analysis, and Sammon mapping, are reported. The results show that different machine faults can be classified, the degree of fault severity can be captured, and WLGRM can achieve better performance than other algorithms in most cases of machine fault classification.

Abstract: This paper proposes singular value decomposition (SVD)-based feature extraction methods for fault classification of an induction motor: a short-time energy (STE) plus SVD technique in the time-domain analysis, and a discrete cosine transform (DCT) plus SVD technique in the frequency-domain analysis. To early identify induction motor faults, the extracted features are utilized as the inputs of multi-layer support vector machines (MLSVMs). Since SVMs perform well with the radial basis function (RBF) kernel for appropriately categorizing the faults of the induction motor, it is important to explore the impact of the values for the RBF kernel, which affects the classification accuracy. Likewise, this paper quantitatively evaluates the classification accuracy with different numbers of features, because the number of features affects the classification accuracy. According to the experimental results, although SVD-based features are effective for a noiseless environment, the STE plus SVD feature extraction approach is more effective with and without sensor noise in terms of the classification accuracy than the DCT plus SVD feature extraction approach. To demonstrate the improved classification of the proposed approach for identifying faults of the induction motor, the proposed SVD based feature extraction approach is compared with other state-of-the art methods and yields higher classification accuracies for both noiseless and noisy environments than conventional approaches.

In this paper, we propose a highly reliable state monitoring system for induction motors. The proposed system utilizes vibration signals to analyze characteristics of the induction motor and extract features for classifying abnormal states from normal ones. To extract the features of faulty and healthy signals, we first convert one-dimension vibration signals into two-dimension gray images to utilize the relationship between each element and its neighboring elements, and we calculate the number of significant pixels in these converted images. We then use multiclass support vector machines to distinguish between abnormal data and normal data. The experimental results indicate that the proposed state monitoring system achieves 100% classification accuracy. In addition, we explore the effects of the noise components inherent in the vibration signals by adding white Gaussian noise to the vibration signals to obtain signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of 10 dB, 15 dB, 20 dB, 30 dB, and 40 dB, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed approach continues to achieve 100% classification accuracy in noisy environments with SNRs of at least 15 dB. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms a conventional state-of-the-art algorithm in both noisy and noiseless environments. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The Open Circuit (OC) faults occurring in switches of Multilevel Converters (MLC) may lead to undesirable operation of the converter. Therefore, fault detection and its localization in minimum time are necessary. This paper focuses on the fast fault detection algorithm based on the two samples technique and the fault localization algorithm using the Entropy of Wavelet Packets (EWP) as a feature. The EWP feature is used to classify and localize the OC faults in Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) of three-phase, three-level inverter using Support Vector Machine (SVM) based fault classification algorithm. The proposed technique can detect the fault in single IGBT and multiple IGBTs in a lesser time range of microseconds to 0.33 ms. It gives better performance and accuracy (99.70%) than previously proposed SVM algorithms, as the EWP-based feature extraction process used in this paper is simple and accurate with a less computational burden. [Display omitted] • An observer-based algorithm is proposed using two samples-based technique. • The Entropy of Wavelet Packets (EWP-SVM) technique is used for fault diagnosis. • The proposed algorithm can detect the faults in a single IGBT and multiple IGBTs. • The technique is faster and accurate than techniques available in the literature. • The comparison of detection time of different techniques is also discussed.

This paper presents an intelligent fault classification approach to power transformer dissolved gas analysis (DGA), dealing with highly versatile or noise-corrupted data. Bootstrap and genetic programming (GP) are implemented to improve the interpretation accuracy for DGA of power transformers. Bootstrap preprocessing is utilized to approximately equalize the sample numbers for different fault classes to improve subsequent fault classification with GP feature extraction. GP is applied to establish classification features for each class based on the collected gas data. The features extracted with GP are then used as the inputs to artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM) and K-nearest neighbor ( KNN) classifiers for fault classification. The classification accuracies of the combined GP-ANN, GP-SVM, and GP-KNN classifiers are compared with the ones derived from ANN, SVM, and KNN classifiers, respectively. The test results indicate that the developed preprocessing approach can significantly improve the diagnosis accuracies for power transformer fault classification. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Fault detection and classification are two of the challenging tasks in Modular Multilevel Converters in High Voltage Direct Current (MMC-HVDC) systems. To directly classify the raw sensor data without certain feature extraction and classifier design, a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network is proposed and used for seven states of the MMC-HVDC transmission power system simulated by Power Systems Computer Aided Design/Electromagnetic Transients including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC). It is observed that the LSTM method can detect faults with 100% accuracy and classify different faults as well as provide promising fault classification performance. Compared with a bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), the LSTM can get similar classification accuracy, requiring less training time and testing time. Compared with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and AutoEncoder-based deep neural networks (AE-based DNN), the LSTM method can get better classification accuracy around the middle of the testing data proportion, but it needs more training time.

In this paper, we explore learning methods to improve the performance of the open-circuit fault diagnosis of modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Two deep learning methods, namely, convolutional neural networks (CNN) and auto encoder based deep neural networks (AE-based DNN), as well as stand-alone SoftMax classifier are explored for the detection and classification of faults of MMC-based high voltage direct current converter (MMC-HVDC). Only AC-side three-phase current and the upper and lower bridges' currents of the MMCs are used directly in our proposed approaches without any explicit feature extraction or feature subset selection. The two-terminal MMC-HVDC system is implemented in Power Systems Computer-Aided Design/Electromagnetic Transients including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC) to verify and compare our methods. The simulation results indicate CNN, AE-based DNN, and SoftMax classifier can detect and classify faults with high detection accuracy and classification accuracy. Compared with CNN and AE-based DNN, the SoftMax classifier performed better in detection and classification accuracy as well as testing speed. The detection accuracy of AE-based DNN is a little better than CNN, while CNN needs less training time than the AE-based DNN and SoftMax classifier. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
