Classification of EMI discharge sources using time–frequency features and multi-class support vector machine

Abstract

This paper introduces the first application of feature extraction and machine learning to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) signals for discharge sources classification in high voltage power generating plants. This work presents an investigation on signals that represent different discharge sources, which are measured using EMI techniques from operating electrical machines within power plant. The analysis involves Time-Frequency image calculation of EMI signals using General Linear Chirplet Analysis (GLCT) which reveals both time and frequency varying characteristics. Histograms of uniform Local Binary Patterns (LBP) are implemented as a feature reduction and extraction technique for the classification of discharge sources using Multi-Class Support Vector Machine (MCSVM). The novelty that this paper introduces is the combination of GLCT and LBP applications to develop a new feature extraction algorithm applied to EMI signals classification. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated to be successful with excellent classification accuracy being achieved. For the first time, this work transfers expert's knowledge on EMI faults to an intelligent system which could potentially be exploited to develop an automatic condition monitoring system.

Recognition of Continuous Music Segments Based on the Phase Space Reconstruction Method

“…With the development of digital information technology in the 21st century, many applications based on music signal analysis, such as automatic labeling of music, music score translation, and music retrieval, have higher requirements for analysis results [ 1 ]. However, due to the complex composition of music signals, even for fully digitized signals, there is still no more complete method to analyze them in detail [ 2 ].…”

An Improved Real-Time Contrasts Control Chart Using Novelty Detection and Variable Importance

“…To perform nonlinear classification, it is necessary to map the given data to the high-dimensional feature space. With the development of the multivariate control chart, several studies used the kernel distance to reflect the high dimension [16][17][18][19]. Previous studies have used a kernel distance to create a multivariate control chart [18].…”

Unsupervised deep learning and analysis of harmonic variation patterns using big data from multiple locations

“…Machine learning, especially deep learning [9,10,11], provides automatic ways to extract information from a large amount of data. Machine learning tools have been applied to power quality data for the classification and recognition of distinct events [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Most algorithms are based on supervised learning that requires pre-labeled data, e.g., shallow neural networks [14][15][16][17][18][19]; and support vector machines [20][21][22][23].…”
