A fault diagnosis method for building electrical systems based on the combination of variational modal decomposition...

The fault diagnosis of building electrical systems are of great significance to the safe and stable operation of modern intelligent buildings. In this paper, it has many problems, such as various fault types, inconspicuous fault characteristics, uncertainty of fault type and mode, irregularity, unstable signal, large gap between fault data classes, small gap between classes and nonlinearity, etc. A method of building electrical system fault diagnosis based on the combination of variational mode decomposition and mutual dimensionless indictor (VMD-MDI) and quantum genetic algorithm-support vector machine (QGA-SVM) is proposed. Firstly, the method decomposes the original signal through variational modal decomposition to obtain the optimal number of Intrinsic Mode Function(IMF) containing fault feature information. Secondly, extracts the mutual dimensionless indicator for each IMF. Thirdly, the optimal penalty coefficient C of the support vector machine and the parameter gamma ([Formula: see text]) in the radial basis kernel function are selected by the quantum genetic algorithm. Finally, SVM optimized by the QGA is used to identify and classify the faults. By applying the proposed method to the experimental platform data of building electrical system, and compared with the traditional feature extraction method Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), Singular Value Decomposition(SVD), Local Mean Decomposition(LMD). And compared with traditional SVM, Genetic Algorithm optimized Support Vector Machine (GA-SVM), One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1DCNN) for fault classification methods. The experimental results show that the method has better effect and higher accuracy in fault diagnosis and classification of building electrical system. Its average test accuracy can reach 91.67[Formula: see text].
