Fault Diagnosis Strategy Based on BOA-ResNet18 Method for Motor Bearing Signals with Simulated Hydrogen Refueling Station Operating Noise

Abstract

The harsh working environment of hydrogen refueling stations often causes equipment failure and is vulnerable to mechanical noise during monitoring. This limits the accuracy of equipment monitoring, ultimately decreasing efficiency. To address this issue, this paper presents a motor bearing vibration signal diagnosis method that employs a Bayesian optimization (BOA) residual neural network (ResNet). The industrial noise signal of the hydrogenation station is simulated and then combined with the motor bearing signal. The resulting one-dimensional bearing signal is processed and transformed into a two-dimensional signal using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Afterwards, the signal is segmented using the sliding window translation method to enhance the data volume. After comparing signal feature extraction and classification results from various convolutional neural network models, ResNet18 yields the best classification accuracy, achieving a training accuracy of 89.50% with the shortest computation time. Afterwards, the hyperparameters of ResNet18 such as InitialLearnRate, Momentum, and L2Regularization Parameter are optimized using the Bayesian optimization algorithm. The experiment findings demonstrate a diagnostic accuracy of 99.31% for the original signal model, while the accuracy for the bearing signal, with simulated industrial noise from the hydrogenation station, can reach over 92%.

Improved Adversarial Transfer Network for Bearing Fault Diagnosis under Variable Working Conditions

“…Bearings are critical rotating machinery components and one of these machines' weakest links [1,2]. Their performance directly affects the system's stable operation and production efficiency [3,4]. Taking an aerospace engine as an example, as shown in Figure 1, rolling bearings are easy to start at low temperatures and have small friction losses, wide operating ranges and strong resistance to oil cutoffs; engines use rolling bearings as main bearings [5,6].…”
