Data mining for classification of power quality problems using WEKA and the effect of attributes on classification accuracy

Abstract

There is growing interest in power quality issues due to wider developments in power delivery engineering. In order to maintain good power quality, it is necessary to detect and monitor power quality problems. The power quality monitoring requires storing large amount of data for analysis. This rapid increase in the size of databases has demanded new technique such as data mining to assist in the analysis and understanding of the data. This paper presents the classification of power quality problems such as voltage sag, swell, interruption and unbalance using data mining algorithms: J48, Random Tree and Random Forest decision trees. These algorithms are implemented on two sets of voltage data using WEKA software. The numeric attributes in first data set include 3-phase RMS voltages at the point of common coupling. In second data set, three more numeric attributes such as minimum, maximum and average voltages, are added along with 3-phase RMS voltages. The performance of the algorithms is evaluated in both the cases to determine the best classification algorithm, and the effect of addition of the three attributes in the second case is studied, which depicts the advantages in terms of classification accuracy and training time of the decision trees.

Predicting the Pillar Stability of Underground Mines with Random Trees and C4.5 Decision Trees

“…There are several data mining and machine learning (ML) algorithms available, among which random tree and C4.5 DT are the most frequently used algorithms for classification [24]. They represent decision trees that use strategies to divide and conquer in form of induction learning.…”

“…Further, the relationship between input and output variables is given in terms of a matrix of weight and biases that cannot be accessed and easily undertood by the user [20]. Recently, decision trees i.e., random trees (RT) and C4.5 decision trees (DT) have been effectively applied in various domains and applications such as in the assessment of soil liquefaction potential [21,22], landslide susceptibility [23], classification of power quality problem [24] and surface settlement prediction owing to tunneling [25], however, their application in rock mechanics and mining are limited.…”

Identification Technology of Grid Monitoring Alarm Event Based on Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning in China

“…The text of the alarm information was represented by the Word2vec vectorization model. The machine-learning model selected the support vector machine (SVM) [49], logistic regression (LR), and random forest (RF) [50]. The text representation of the alarm information mainly used the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) [51].…”

Increasing Data Anonymity using AES and Privacy Technique

“…A (Decision Tree) divides the data set entry area into reciprocal spaces, where each region contains a label, value, or procedure to describe or clarify its data points. The partitioning criterion in (Decision Tree) is used to calculate which attribute is best for dividing that part tree of training data that reaches a particular, the algorithm has been used by (Kiranmai & Laxmi, 2018).…”
