Intelligent Fault Diagnosis and Maintenance Decision Support in Electrical Induction Generators Using Multi-CNN Extreme Ensemble Learning

Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

Electrical induction generators are vulnerable to winding faults that can degrade operational reliability and lead to unplanned maintenance. This study proposes a multiple-convolutional neural network (Multi-CNN) extreme ensemble learning framework for intelligent fault diagnosis and maintenance decision support using three-phase current and voltage measurements. Experimental recordings representing healthy operation, inter-turn faults, and inter-winding faults were segmented into non-overlapping 200-sample windows. Hjorth activity, mobility, and complexity were calculated for the three-phase current signals and the three-phase voltage signals, producing 18 features for each of 900 instances. Four convolutional neural network architectures were trained, and their class-probability outputs were combined through an extreme learning machine. Stratified blocked five-fold cross-validation was used to evaluate the models while preserving the chronological structure of the data. The proposed ensemble achieved 98.111% accuracy, 98.146% precision, 98.111% recall, 98.108% F1-score, and 97.167% Matthews correlation coefficient, correctly classifying 883 of 900 out-of-fold instances. It also attained a macro-averaged area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.995. These results demonstrate that Hjorth-based electrical-signal characterization and Multi-CNN ensemble fusion can provide accurate and computationally efficient support for fault identification and predictive maintenance decisions in electrical induction generators.
