A fault diagnosis system with the ability to recognize many different faults obviously has a certain complexity. Therefore, improving the performance of similar systems has attracted much research interest. This article proposes a system of feature ranking and differential evolution for feature selection in BLDC fault diagnosis. First, this study used the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) to extract the features of four different types of brushless DC motor Hall signal. Second, we used feature selection based on a distance discriminant (FSDD) to calculate the feature factors which base on the category separability of features to select the features which have a positive correlation with the types. The features were entered sequentially into the two supervised classifiers: backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and the identification results were then evaluated. The feature input for the classifier was derived from the FSDD, and then we optimized the feature rank using differential evolution (DE). Finally, the results were verified from the BLDC motor’s operating environment simulation with the same features by adding appropriate signal-to-noise ratio magnitudes. The identification system obtained an accuracy rate of 96% when there were 14 features. Additionally, the experimental results show that the proposed system has a robust anti-noise ability, and the accuracy rate is 92.04%, even when 20 dB of white Gaussian noise is added to the signal. Moreover, compared with the systems established from the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and a variety of classifiers, our proposed system has a higher accuracy with fewer features.
Early fault diagnosis is essential for the proper operation of rotating machines. This article proposes a fitness function in differential evolution (DE) that considers accuracy rate and false negative rate for optimization in brushless DC (BLDC) motor fault diagnosis. Feature selection based on a distance discriminant (FSDD) calculates the feature factors which base on the category separability of features after the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) which extracts the features of four different type signals from BLDC motor Hall sensor. The feature rank through DE to optimize before the features into the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) in order. By reducing the feature number of Hall signal and decreasing the complexity of neural network input, the combined method was proposed in this article can significantly reduce the calculation cost. Finally, the identification model obtained an accuracy rate of 98.98% and false negative rate of 13.66% when there were 18 features; besides, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and probability curve have been evidenced the number of false negative is decreased. Moreover, the experiments have verified that the proposed method is effective in UCI data set.
