Arc fault diagnosis is necessary for the safety and efficiency of PV stations. This study proposed an arc fault diagnosis algorithm formed by combining variational mode decomposition (VMD), improved multi-scale fuzzy entropy (IMFE), and support vector machine (SVM).. This method first uses VMD to decompose the current into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in the time-frequency domain, then calculates the IMFE according to the IMFs associated with the arc fault. Finally, it uses SVM to detect arc faults according to IMFEs. Arc fault data gathered from a PV arc generation experiment platform are used to validate the proposed method. The results indicated the proposed method can classify arc fault data and normal data effectively.

Rolling bearings are the key components of rotating machinery. However, the incipient fault characteristics of a rolling bearing vibration signal are weak and difficult to extract. To solve this problem, this paper presents a novel rolling bearing vibration signal fault feature extraction and fault pattern recognition method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), permutation entropy (PE) and support vector machines (SVM). In the proposed method, the bearing vibration signal is decomposed by VMD, and the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are obtained in different scales. Then, the PE values of each IMF are calculated to uncover the multi-scale intrinsic characteristics of the vibration signal. Finally, PE values of IMFs are fed into SVM to automatically accomplish the bearing condition identifications. The proposed method is evaluated by rolling bearing vibration signals. The results indicate that the proposed method is superior and can diagnose rolling bearing faults accurately.

The research in bearing fault diagnosis has been attracting great attention in the past decades. Development of feasible fault diagnosis procedures to prevent failures that could cause huge economic loss timely is necessary. The whole life of the bearing is also a developing process for some sensitive features related to the fault trend. In this paper, a new scheme based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and support vector regression (SVR) to conduct bearing fault degree recognition is proposed. This analysis first extracts the sensitive features from the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) produced by EEMD which is a potential time-frequency analysis method, and then constructs an intelligent nonlinear model with input feature vectors extracted from the IMFs and defect size as output. Through validation of experimental data, the results indicated that the bearing fault degree could be effectively and precisely recognized.

A novel fault diagnosis method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and multikernel support vector machine (MKSVM) optimized by Immune Genetic Algorithm (IGA) is proposed to accurately and adaptively diagnose mechanical faults. First, mechanical fault vibration signals are decomposed into multiple Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) by VMD. Then the features in time-frequency domain are extracted from IMFs to construct the feature sets of mixed domain. Next, Semisupervised Locally Linear Embedding (SS-LLE) is adopted for fusion and dimension reduction. The feature sets with reduced dimension are inputted to the IGA optimized MKSVM for failure mode identification. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that MKSVM can approximate any multivariable function. The global optimal parameter vector of MKSVM can be rapidly identified by IGA parameter optimization. The experiments of mechanical faults show that, compared to traditional fault diagnosis models, the proposed method significantly increases the diagnosis accuracy of mechanical faults and enhances the generalization of its application.

Envelope Signal

Demodulation is one of the most useful techniques for the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. The commonly used demodulation methods try to select one sensitive sub-band signal that contains the most fault-related components for further analysis. However, a large number of the fault-related components that exist in other sub-bands are ignored in the commonly used envelope demodulation methods. Based on a weighted-empirical mode decomposition (EMD) de-noising technique and time–frequency (TF) impulse envelope analysis, a multi-scale demodulation method is proposed for fault diagnosis. In the proposed method, EMD is first employed to divide the signal into some IMFs (intrinsic mode functions). Then, a new weighted-EMD de-noising technique is presented, and different weights are assigned to IMFs for construction according to their fault-related degrees; thus, the fault-unrelated components are suppressed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). After that, continuous wavelet transformation (CWT) is adopted to obtain the time–frequency representation (TFR) of the de-noised signal. Subsequently, the fault-related components in the entire frequency range scale are calculated together, referring to the TF impulse envelope signal. Finally, a fault diagnosis result can be obtained after the fast Fourier transformation of the TF impulse envelope signal. The proposed method and three commonly used methods are applied to the fault diagnosis of a planetary gearbox with a sun gear spalling fault and a fixed shaft gearbox with a crack fault. The results show that the proposed method can effectively detect gear faults and yields better performance than other methods.

Bearing Fault Diagnosis

Feature extraction is one of the most difficult aspects of mechanical fault diagnosis, and it is directly related to the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis. In this study, improved permutation entropy (IPE) is defined as the feature for bearing fault diagnosis. In this method, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), a self-adaptive time-frequency analysis method, is used to process the vibration signals, and a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) can thus be obtained. A feature extraction strategy based on statistical analysis is then presented for IPE, where the so-called optimal number of permutation entropy (PE) values used for an IPE is adaptively selected. The obtained IPE-based samples are then input to a support vector machine (SVM) model. Subsequently, a trained SVM can be constructed as the classifier for bearing fault diagnosis. Finally, experimental vibration signals are applied to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the results show that the proposed method can effectively and accurately diagnose bearing faults, such as inner race faults, outer race faults, and ball faults.

Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) can decompose signals into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). In recent years, VMD has been widely used in fault diagnosis. However, it requires a preset number of decomposition layers K and is sensitive to background noise. Therefore, in order to determine K adaptively, Permutation Entroy Optimization (PEO) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm can adaptively determine the optimal number of decomposition layers K according to the characteristics of the signal to be decomposed. At the same time, in order to solve the sensitivity of VMD to noise, this paper proposes a Modified VMD (MVMD) based on the idea of Noise Aided Data Analysis (NADA). The algorithm first adds the positive and negative white noise to the original signal, and then uses the VMD to decompose it. After repeated cycles, the noise in the original signal will be offset to each other. Then each layer of IMF is integrated with each layer, and the signal is reconstructed according to the results of the integrated mean. MVMD is used for the final decomposition of the reconstructed signal. The algorithm is used to deal with the simulation signals and measured signals of gearbox with multiple fault characteristics. Compared with the decomposition results of EEMD and VMD, it shows that the algorithm can not only improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the signal effectively, but can also extract the multiple fault features of the gear box in the strong noise environment. The effectiveness of this method is verified.

This paper presents an improved gearbox fault diagnosis approach by integrating complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) with permutation entropy (PE). The presented approach identifies faults appearing in a gearbox system based on PE values calculated from selected intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of vibration signals decomposed by CEEMD. Specifically, CEEMD is first used to decompose vibration signals characterizing various defect severities into a series of IMFs. Then, filtered vibration signals are obtained from appropriate selection of IMFs, and correlation coefficients between the filtered signal and each IMF are used as the basis for useful IMFs selection. Subsequently, PE values of those selected IMFs are utilized as input features to a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for characterizing the defect severity of a gearbox. Case study conducted on a gearbox system indicates the effectiveness of the proposed approach for identifying the gearbox faults.

Planetary gearboxes are more and more widely used in large and complex construction machinery such as those used in aviation, aerospace fields, and so on. However, the movement of the gear is a typical complex motion and is often under variable conditions in real environments, which may make vibration signals of planetary gearboxes nonlinear and nonstationary. It is more difficult and complex to achieve fault diagnosis than to fix the axis gearboxes effectively. A fault diagnosis method for planetary gearboxes based on improved complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (ICEEMD)-time-frequency information entropy and variable predictive model-based class discriminate (VPMCD) is proposed in this paper. First, the vibration signal of planetary gearboxes is decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by using the ICEEMD algorithm, which is used to determine the noise component by using the magnitude of the entropy and to remove the noise components. Then, the time-frequency information entropy of intrinsic modal function under the new decomposition is calculated and regarded as the characteristic matrix. Finally, the fault mode is classified by the VPMCD method. The experimental results demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper can not only solve the fault diagnosis of planetary gearboxes under different operation conditions, but can also be used for fault diagnosis under variable operation conditions. Simultaneously, the proposed method is superior to the wavelet entropy method and variational mode decomposition (VMD)-time-frequency information entropy.
