The health condition of rolling bearing possesses a significant impact on the safety and efficiency of rotating machinery. Accordingly, to diagnose the faults in rolling bearings effectively and accurately, a novel hybrid approach coupling variational mode decomposition (VMD), composite multiscale fine-sorted dispersion entropy (CMFSDE) and support vector machine (SVM) optimized by mutation sine cosine algorithm and Harris hawks optimization (MSCAHHO) is proposed in the paper. Firstly, VMD is employed to decompose raw vibration signals with various fault types into different sets of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) to weaken the non-stationarity of signals, before which the parameter K of VMD is decided through central frequency observation method. Subsequently, CMFSDE is put forward in this paper to analyze the complexity of fault signals by fully considering the relationship between neighboring elements based on composite multiscale technique, with which the representative features of different fault samples are extracted to construct feature vectors. Later, an enhanced hybrid optimization approach called MSCAHHO is proposed by integrating sine cosine algorithm (SCA) and a periodic mutation strategy to improve Harris hawks optimization (HHO). Then, MSCAHHO is employed to optimize the parameters of SVM, after which the optimal SVM model is utilized for fault classification. Finally, the performance of the proposed methodology is evaluated with four validity indices through comparative experiments. The experimental results reveal that the proposed VMD-CMFSDE-MSCAHHO-SVM method achieves favorable diagnosis results comparing with other relevant methods.

As a crucial and widely used component in industrial fields with great complexity, the health condition of rotating machinery is directly related to production efficiency and safety. Consequently, recognizing and diagnosing rotating machine faults remain to be one of the main concerns in preventing failures of mechanical systems, which can enhance the reliability and efficiency of mechanical systems. In this paper, a novel approach based on blind parameter identification of MAR model and mutation hybrid GWO-SCA optimization is proposed to diagnose faults for rotating machinery. Signals collected from different types of faults were firstly split into sets of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by variational mode decomposition (VMD), the decomposing mode number K of which was preset with central frequency observation method. Then the multivariate autoregressive (MAR) model of all IMFs was established, whose order was determined by Schwartz Bayes Criterion (SBC), and all parameters of the model were identified blindly through QR decomposition, where key features were subsequently extracted via principal component analysis (PCA) to construct feature vectors of different fault types. Afterwards, a hybrid optimization algorithm combining mutation operator, grey wolf optimizer (GWO), and sine cosine algorithm (SCA), termed mutation hybrid GWO-SCA (MHGWOSCA), was proposed for parameter selection of support vector machine (SVM). The optimal SVM model was later employed to classify different fault samples. The engineering application and contrastive analysis indicate the availability and superiority of the proposed method.
Accurate vibrational trend measuring for hydroelectric unit (HEU) is of great significance for safe and economic operation of unit. For this purpose, a novel hybrid approach based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), singular value decomposition (SVD)-based phase space reconstruction (PSR) and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) improved with adaptive sine cosine algorithm optimization (ASCA) is proposed. Firstly, the raw vibration signal is preprocessed into several components with different scales by VMD, while the residual of VMD is defined as an additional component. Then, SVD with median filtering is utilized to unearth the dominating characteristic ingredients of each component, with which the chaotic series analysis will be effectively implemented. Moreover, the optimal parameters of PSR for each original component are determined by applying grid search on the corresponding dominating component. Later, LSSVM improved by ASCA are established for all the components, whose inputs and outputs are obtained by performing PSR with the optimal parameters. Finally, the measuring results of vibration trend are deduced by accumulating the prediction values of all the components. Furthermore, five related methods are employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results illustrate that: (1) the VMD-based models obtained better evaluation indexes compared with the relevant models through significantly weakening the non-stationarity of the original signal; (2) the proposed SVD-based PSR enhanced efficiency of chaotic system restoration, thus to improve the measuring accuracy effectively; (3) the proposed ASCA optimization algorithm could effectively search the parameters of LSSCVM, which contributes to improving model performance.
Accurate wind speed prediction plays a significant role in reasonable scheduling and the safe operation of the power system. However, due to the non-linear and non-stationary traits of the wind speed time series, the construction of an accuracy forecasting model is difficult to achieve. To this end, a novel synchronous optimization strategy-based hybrid model combining multi-scale dominant ingredient chaotic analysis and a kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) is proposed, for which the multi-scale dominant ingredient chaotic analysis integrates variational mode decomposition (VMD), singular spectrum analysis (SSA) and phase-space reconstruction (PSR). For such a hybrid structure, the parameters in VMD, SSA, PSR and KELM that would affect the predictive performance are optimized by the proposed improved hybrid grey wolf optimizer-sine cosine algorithm (IHGWOSCA) synchronously. To begin with, VMD is employed to decompose the raw wind speed data into a set of sub-series with various frequency scales. Later, the extraction of dominant and residuary ingredients for each sub-series is implemented by SSA, after which, all of the residuary ingredients are accumulated with the residual of VMD, to generate an additional forecasting component. Subsequently, the inputs and outputs of KELM for each component are deduced by PSR, with which the forecasting model could be constructed. Finally, the ultimate forecasting values of the raw wind speed are calculated by accumulating the predicted results of all the components. Additionally, four datasets from Sotavento Galicia (SG) wind farm have been selected, to achieve the performance assessment of the proposed model. Furthermore, six relevant models are carried out for comparative analysis. The results illustrate that the proposed hybrid framework, VMD-SSA-PSR-KELM could achieve a better performance compared with other combined models, while the proposed synchronous parameter optimization strategy-based model could achieve an average improvement of 25% compared to the separated optimized VMD-SSA-PSR-KELM model.
As crucial equipment during industrial manufacture, the health status of rotating machinery affects the production efficiency and device safety. Hence, it is of great significance to diagnose rotating machinery faults, which can contribute to guarantee the running stability and plan for maintenance, thus promoting production efficiency and economic benefits. For this purpose, a hybrid fault diagnosis model with entropy-based feature extraction and SVM optimized by a chaos quantum sine cosine algorithm (CQSCA) is developed in this research. Firstly, the state-of-the-art variational mode decomposition (VMD) is utilized to decompose the vibration signals into sets of components, during which process the preset parameter K is confirmed with the central frequency observation method. Subsequently, the permutation entropy values of all components are computed to constitute the feature vectors corresponding to different kind of signals. Later, the newly developed sine cosine algorithm (SCA) is employed and improved with chaotic initialization by a Duffing system and quantum technique to optimize the support vector machine (SVM) model, with which the fault pattern is recognized. Additionally, the availability of the optimized SVM with CQSCA was revealed in pattern recognition experiments. Finally, the proposed hybrid fault diagnosis approach was employed for engineering applications as well as contrastive analysis. The comparative results show that the proposed method achieved the best training accuracy 99.5% and best testing accuracy 97.89%. Furthermore, it can be concluded from the boxplots of different diagnosis methods that the stability and precision of the proposed method is superior to those of others.
