Sensor Fault Diagnosis Method Based on α-Grey Wolf Optimization-Support Vector Machine

Aimed to address the low diagnostic accuracy caused by the similar data distribution of sensor partial faults, a sensor fault diagnosis method is proposed on the basis of α Grey Wolf Optimization Support Vector Machine (α-GWO-SVM) in this paper. Firstly, a fusion with Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) and time-domain parameters is performed to carry out the feature extraction and dimensionality reduction for fault data. Then, an improved Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm is applied to enhance its global search capability while speeding up the convergence, for the purpose of further optimizing the parameters of SVM. Finally, the experimental results are obtained to suggest that the proposed method performs better in optimization than the other intelligent diagnosis algorithms based on SVM, which improves the accuracy of fault diagnosis effectively.
