Bushing fault diagnosis based on SVM and the improved sparrow search algorithm

Abstract

Abstract In order to address the issue of low precision in traditional bushing fault diagnosis, a bushing fault diagnosis method based on an improved sparrow search algorithm (ISSA) and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the bushing vibration signals are extracted by wavelet packet, and the feature vectors are used as inputs for the SVM. In view of the impact of support vector machine parameters on the model, a sparrow search algorithm is proposed for intelligent optimization. To prevent reaching a local optimum, adaptive inertia weight is added based on the original approach. The final bushing fault diagnosis model is established by training. Comparison experiments with three fault diagnosis models, SSA-SVM, PSO-SVM, and SVM, found that the proposed method achieves complete diagnosis in a shorter time, and the diagnostic accuracy rate is 96.5%, which verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the model.
