However, timely detection and prediction of motor faults present significant challenges, often resulting in production incidents and substantial maintenance costs. This paper presents a novel approach for assessing motor equipment health based on knowledge-embedded machine learning and statistical data evaluation. Specifically, the methodology first employs mechanism-based motor operational models and statistical methods to identify key variable parameters associated with typical operational states from extensive monitoring variables, serving as input layers for machine learning algorithms. Subsequently, the study utilises machine learning algorithms to predict labels for normal operation, phase loss faults and overload faults, incorporating health degradation levels as knowledge-embedded foundations for the health state assessment. Finally, the Comprehensive Health Index (CHI) was evaluated, achieving 98.1% health assessment accuracy on test datasets in environments with data sampling frequencies below 1 Hz and relatively low data quality. This methodology establishes relationships between health states and actual fault records through a dynamic weight allocation strategy that provides quantified percentage values, reflecting actual equipment usage patterns and degradation trends.

Among various traction motor fault types, bearing faults have emerged as one of the most frequently occurring failure modes. However, the frequent start-stop operations and significant passenger capacity fluctuations characteristic of urban rail trains make stable operating condition data collection challenging, which has severely limited the engineering applicability of existing bearing fault diagnosis methods. This study proposes a bearing fault diagnosis method integrating SPWVD and YOLOv11: the method converts one-dimensional vibration signals into two-dimensional time–frequency maps using the SPWVD algorithm; these maps are then processed based on fault mechanisms and input into the YOLOv11 deep learning model learning and classification. Experimental results demonstrate that this method transcends the adaptability limitations of traditional time–frequency analysis under complex operating conditions and overcomes the multi-scale feature learning bottlenecks of CNN, achieving reliable bearing fault diagnosis under constant-speed conditions while maintaining over 90% accuracy in complex scenarios such as variable speed and strong noise, thereby significantly enhancing the robustness and universality of bearing fault diagnosis methods in engineering applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":13352,"journal":{"name":"Iet Electric Power Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/elp2.70087","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a novel bearing fault diagnosis model consisting of three main stages: feature extraction, feature selection, and classification. In the feature extraction stage, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) and fast fourier transform (FFT) are utilised to extract features from raw motor signals. In the feature selection stage, a novel hybrid feature selection method combining genetic algorithm (GA) and binary state transition algorithm (BSTA) is proposed enhancing the model's performance. This research has also added a new memory function to the algorithm to avoid unnecessary computational waste. In the classification stage, <i>k</i>-nearest neighbours (<i>k-</i>NN) and support vector machine (SVM) are employed to evaluate the classification accuracy after feature selection. To validate the performance of the proposed model, experiments were conducted on four bearing fault datasets, including the University of California Irvine (UCI) benchmark dataset, Motor Bearing Fault Current Signal Dataset, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) benchmark dataset and Mechanical Fault Prevention Technology (MFPT) benchmark dataset. In case study 1, using the UCI dataset for testing, GBSTA-M reduced computation time by up to 94% compared with traditional algorithms. In case study 3, GBSTA-M combined with SVM achieved an accuracy of 98.7% on the MFPT dataset.

These advantages make them suitable for solving numerical analysis problems of complex three-dimensional shapes. Since supervised-learning-based PINNs rely on the solutions obtained from traditional numerical methods, they should be regarded as performing function fitting or numerical approximation rather than truly solving a numerical computation problem. On the other hand, PINNs based on unsupervised learning can successfully solve single-domain electromagnetic analysis problems without access to the value of the physical quantity, which can be considered the ground truth. However, they cannot solve the multidomain electromagnetic analysis problem because they cannot fit the physical quantity at the interface. If the solution at the interface is unknown, PINNs can only enforce the continuity of values at the interface. Still, they cannot express the relationship between the gradients at the interface. To address this problem, this research proposes a novel numerical analysis method that employs PINNs based on unsupervised learning to solve multidomain problems. The discretised direct boundary integral equations are utilised to solve the physical quantity at the interface, and the multidomain problem can be transformed into multiple single-domain problems. Then, PINNs based on unsupervised learning can be utilised to solve all the subdomains. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated through single-domain and multidomain electrostatic box problems as well as the testing electromagnetic analysis methods (TEAM) problem 22.
