Fault diagnosis of HVCB via the subtraction average based optimizer algorithm optimized multi channel CNN-SABO-SVM network

Abstract

Abstract The mechanical fault diagnosis of HVCB is important to ensure the stability of electric power systems. Aiming at the problem of poor diagnostic performance of deep learning methods under limited samples, this paper proposes an HVCB operating mechanism fault diagnosis model (multi-channel CNN-SABO-SVM, MCCSS) based on multimodal data fusion features and Subtraction-Average-Based Optimizer (SABO). This model extracts and fuses features from the input two-dimensional data using a multi-channel CNN network and then uses the multimodal data fusion features to diagnose HVCB faults. Additionally, the SVM is used instead of the Softmax classifier to classify the fused features of vibration and sound, compensating for the poor diagnostic performance and generalization ability of the CNN network in small sample data scenarios. To further enhance the fault diagnosis performance of the SVM, the SABO is introduced for hyperparameter optimization of the SVM classifier. An HVCB fault test platform was established to train and test the model with limited data. The experimental results show that, compared with the multi-channel CNN-SVM and the CNN model based on unimodal signals, the proposed multi-channel CNN-SABO-SVM model improves the accuracy by 2.66% and 10.66%, respectively, and effectively addresses the challenge of circuit breaker fault diagnosis with limited samples.
