Recently, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks have been widely adopted to help with fault diagnosis for power systems. However, the parameters of LSTM networks are determined by prior knowledge and experience and thereby not capable of dealing with unexpected faults in volatile environments. In this paper, we propose and apply an improved grey wolf optimization (IGWO) algorithm to optimize the parameters of LSTM networks, aiming to circumvent the drawback of empirical LSTM parameters and enhance the fault diagnosis accuracy for on-load tap changers (OLTCs). The composite multiscale weighted permutation entropy and energy entropy yielded by the grasshopper optimization algorithm and variational mode decomposition (GOA-VMD) method are used as the inputs of LSTM networks. The IGWO algorithm is applied in an iterative manner to optimize the relevant super arithmetic of the LSTM. In this way, an IGWO-LSTM combination model is constructed to classify different faults diagnosed in OLTCs. Experimental results verify the diagnosis performance superiority of the proposed method over several widely used comparison benchmarks

Accurate and reliable fault diagnosis is one of the key and difficult issues in mechanical condition monitoring. In recent years, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been widely used in mechanical condition monitoring, which is also a great breakthrough in the field of bearing fault diagnosis. However, CNN can only extract local features of signals. The model accuracy and generalization of the original vibration signals are very low in the process of vibration signal processing only by CNN. Based on the above problems, this paper improves the traditional convolution layer of CNN, and builds the learning module (local feature learning block, LFLB) of the local characteristics. At the same time, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is introduced into the network, which is used to extract the global features. This paper proposes the new neural network—improved CNN-LSTM network. The extracted deep feature is used for fault classification. The improved CNN-LSTM network is applied to the processing of the vibration signal of the faulty bearing collected by the bearing failure laboratory of Inner Mongolia University of science and technology. The results show that the accuracy of the improved CNN-LSTM network on the same batch test set is 98.75%, which is about 24% higher than that of the traditional CNN. The proposed network is applied to the bearing data collection of Western Reserve University under the condition that the network parameters remain unchanged. The experiment shows that the improved CNN-LSTM network has better generalization than the traditional CNN.
