The reliability of gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is very important for the safe operation of power systems. However, the research on potential faults of GIS is mainly focused on partial discharge, and the research on the intelligent detection technology of the mechanical state of GIS is very scarce. Based on the abnormal vibration signals generated by a GIS fault, a fault diagnosis method consisting of a frequency feature extraction method based on coherent function (CF) and a multi-layer classifier was developed in this paper. First, the Fourier transform was used to analyze the differences and consistency in the frequency spectrum of signals. Secondly, the frequency domain commonalities of the vibration signals were extracted by using CF, and the vibration characteristics were screened twice by using the correlation threshold and frequency threshold to further select the vibration features for diagnosis. Then, a multi-layer classifier composed of two one-class support vector machines (OCSVMs) and one support vector machine (SVM) was designed to classify the faults of GIS. Finally, the feasibility of the feature extraction method was verified by experiments, and compared with other classification methods, the stability and reliability of the proposed classifier were verified, which indicates that the fault diagnosis method promotes the development of an intelligent detection technology of the mechanical state in GIS.

Abstract Reciprocating machinery, e.g., diesel engines and reciprocating compressors, is the key power component in petroleum, petrochemical, nuclear power, and shipbuilding industries. Vibration signals have the characteristics of multi-source strong shock coupling and strong noise interference owing to the complex structure of reciprocating machinery; therefore, it is difficult to extract, analyze, and diagnose mechanical fault features. Moreover, failures occur frequently every year, causing serious economic losses. To accurately and efficiently extract sensitive features from the strong noise interference and unsteady monitoring signals of reciprocating machinery, a study on the time-frequency feature extraction method of multi-source shock signals was conducted. Combining the characteristics of reciprocating mechanical vibration signals, a targeted optimization method considering the variational modal decomposition (VMD) mode number K and second penalty factor was proposed, which completed the adaptive decomposition of coupled signals. Aiming at the bilateral asymmetric attenuation characteristics of reciprocating mechanical shock signals, a new bilateral adaptive Laplace wavelet (BALW) was established. A search strategy for wavelet local parameters of multi-impact signals was proposed using the harmony search (HS) method. A multi-source shock simulation signal was established and actual data of the valve fault were obtained through diesel engine fault experiments. The test results demonstrated that the new method achieved adaptive extraction of local shock features of non-stationary multi-source shock signals and was superior to the original method in terms of signal decomposition effect, sensitive feature extraction, fault recognition accuracy, and parameter search time. The fault recognition rate of the intake and exhaust valve clearance was above 90% and the extraction accuracy of the shock start position was improved by 10°.

The converter transformer is a special power transformer that connects the converter bridge to the AC system in the HVDC transmission system. Due to the special structure of the converter transformer, it is necessary to test its operation state during its manufacture and processing to ensure the safety of its future connection to the grid. Numerous studies have shown that vibration signals in transformers can reflect their operating state. Therefore, in order to achieve an effective identification of the operation state of the converter transformer, this paper proposes a method for identifying the operation state of the converter transformer based on vibration detection technology and a deep belief network optimization algorithm. This paper firstly describes the background, principle and application of vibration detection technology, using vibration measurement systems with piezoelectric acceleration sensors, piezoelectric actuators and data acquisition instruments to collect vibration signals at different measurement points on the converter transformer in states of no-load and on-load. By analyzing the time-frequency characteristics of the vibration signals, fast Fourier transform (FFT), wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) and time domain indexes (TDI) are combined into a fused feature extraction method to extract the eigenvalues of the vibration signals, so that the fused eigenvectors of the signals can be constructed. Considering the excellent performance of deep learning in classification, the deep belief network is used to classify the signals’ eigenvectors. To effectively improve the network classification efficiency, the sparrow search algorithm was introduced to build a mathematical model based on the behavioral characteristics of sparrow populations and combine the model with a deep belief network, so as to achieve adaptive parameter optimization of the network and accurate classification of the signals’ eigenvectors. The proposed method is applied to a 500 kV converter transformer for experimental verification. The experimental results show that the fused feature extraction method was able to fully extract the features of the vibration signal, and the deep belief network optimization algorithm had higher classification accuracy and better operational efficiency, and was able to effectively achieve accurate identification of the operation state of the converter transformer. In addition, the method achieved a precision response to the detection results of the vibration sensors, contributing to future improvements in converter transformer manufacturing technology.

This paper proposes a new feature extraction method for off-line recognition of Myanmar printed documents. One of the most important factors to achieve high recognition performance in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system is the selection of the feature extraction methods. Different types of existing OCR systems used various feature extraction methods because of the diversity of the scripts’ natures. One major contribution of the work in this paper is the design of logically rigorous coding based features. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper assumed the documents are successfully segmented into characters and extracted features from these isolated Myanmar characters. These features are extracted using structural analysis of the Myanmar scripts. The experimental results have been carried out using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and compare the pervious proposed feature extraction method.

Aircraft type recognition plays an important role in remote sensing image interpretation. Traditional methods suffer from bad generalization performance, while deep learning methods require large amounts of data with type labels, which are quite expensive and time-consuming to obtain. To overcome the aforementioned problems, in this paper, we propose an aircraft type recognition framework based on conditional generative adversarial networks (GANs). First, we design a new method to precisely detect aircrafts’ keypoints, which are used to generate aircraft masks and locate the positions of the aircrafts. Second, a conditional GAN with a region of interest (ROI)-weighted loss function is trained on unlabeled aircraft images and their corresponding masks. Third, an ROI feature extraction method is carefully designed to extract multi-scale features from the GAN in the regions of aircrafts. After that, a linear support vector machine (SVM) classifier is adopted to classify each sample using their features. Benefiting from the GAN, we can learn features which are strong enough to represent aircrafts based on a large unlabeled dataset. Additionally, the ROI-weighted loss function and the ROI feature extraction method make the features more related to the aircrafts rather than the background, which improves the quality of features and increases the recognition accuracy significantly. Thorough experiments were conducted on a challenging dataset, and the results prove the effectiveness of the proposed aircraft type recognition framework.

Hot strip tail flick is an abnormal production phenomenon, which brings many damages. To recognize the tail flick signals from all throwing steel strip signals, a feature extraction method based on morphological pattern spectrum is proposed in this paper. The area between signal curves after multiscale opening operation and the horizontal axis is computed as the pattern spectrum value and it reflects the geometric information differences. Then, support vector machine is used as the classifier. Experimental results show that the total correct rate based on pattern spectrum feature reached 96.5%. Compared with wavelet packet energy feature, the total correct rate is 92.1%. So, the feasibility and availability of this new feature extraction method are verified.

Effective diagnosis of vibration fault is of practical significance to ensure the safe and stable operation of power transformers. Aiming at the traditional problems of transformer vibration fault diagnosis, a novel feature extraction method based on complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and multi-scale dispersion entropy (MDE) was proposed. In this paper, CEEMDAN method is used to decompose the original transformer vibration signal. Additionally, then MDE is used to capture multi-scale fault features in the decomposed intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Next, the principal component analysis (PCA) method is employed to reduce the feature dimension and extract the effective information in vibration signals. Finally, the simplified features are sent into density peak clustering (DPC) to get the fault diagnosis results. The experimental data analysis shows that CEEMDAN-MDE can effectively extract the information of the original vibration signals and DPC can accurately diagnose the types of transformer faults. By comparing different algorithms, the practicability and superiority of this proposed method are verified.
