Different Domains Based Machine and Deep Learning Diagnosis for DC Series Arc Failure

Abstract

Series arc faults are becoming more dangerous in DC systems. Without detecting in time and separation correctly, these fault events can cause electrical fires or explosions, creating a massive threat to people’s safety and properties. This paper presents an analysis and comparison of DC series arc fault detection using various artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in DC systems. The combinations of six feature parameters in both time and frequency domains with various AI techniques are recommended to detect DC series arc fault effectively. The performance and effectiveness of different combinations between feature parameters and learning techniques are summarized and discussed. Finally, practical challenges are identified, and suitable combinations of feature parameters and learning techniques are recommended for different operation conditions.
