For these two schemes, finite element simulation models are established in COMSOL Multiphysics software to obtain the relationship between the test capacitance and the displacement of the magnetic levitation sphere. In the single-ended scheme, there is a non-linear relationship between the test capacitance and the position of the levitated sphere, and this non-linearity becomes more significant as the sphere moves away from the electrode plate. In contrast, in the differential scheme, the test capacitance and the displacement of the levitated sphere follow a linear relationship, but the test sensitivity decreases with the expansion of the measuring range. The simulation results of the differential scheme have been verified by building a spherical displacement detection simulator, and thanks to the mature development of capacitive detection circuits, the scheme is expected to achieve better than nanoscale displacement detection resolution in the 6.6 mm displacement range of a magnetic levitation sphere in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"18 9","pages":"556-563"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12218","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142666097","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}

The results show that the resistance loss remains relatively constant at power frequency and gradually increases at higher frequencies with the number of deviation turns increases. The eddy current loss remains basically unchanged at different turn deviations and frequencies. The change laws of resistance loss and the resistance loss power factor are the same. In a double logarithmic coordinate system, resistance loss power factor changes from linear to non-linear. The non-linearity degree can be used to detect the process deviation.

The Partial Discharge (PD) test was initially performed on six HV surge arrester fault models. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) was performed for filtering the PD signals. Subsequently, the Chen-Lee chaotic system converted the filtered PD signals into a dynamic error scatter diagram, creating a feature map of various fault states. This feature map was then used as the input layer to train the CNN model. The results demonstrate that the proposed CNN achieved an accuracy of 97.0%, outperforming AlexNet and traditional methods using Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) combined with Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN).

Therefore, the relationship between inclination angle and pollution flashover voltage was studied through artificial pollution testing methods, and the relationship between inclination angle and degree of wetting was studied using the method of adding water to increase weight. The results of this study indicated that as the inclination angle increased within the range of 0°–180°, the degree of wetting on the surface of contaminated silicone rubber gradually decreased, whereas the pollution flashover voltage continuously increased. A model of water droplet collision and wetting on the surface of contaminated silicone rubber at different inclination angles was established.

This involves closely monitoring their condition to accurately predict the remaining useful life, increasing reliability while minimizing unexpected breakdowns, thereby enabling cost savings through planned maintenance, and enhancing operational stability and security. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to build an online intelligent system for degradation monitoring and failure prognosis by the construction of a robust health indicator and making quantitative measure for bearing degradation. In this paper, an efficient and reliable approach is proposed to estimate the remaining useful life of bearing. A new prediction method is presented by the combination of kernel smoothing density (KS-density) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM). Firstly, KS-density smoothens the preliminarily estimated probability distribution function using machinery degradation data. Secondly, the obtained KS-density is used in feed deep learning technique based on BiLSTM models. On this basis, the variation of the signal distribution models between the current faulty state and the normal conditions state is quantified for bearing health assessment. The effective recognition of bearing degradation by the proposed Weibull-based health index is demonstrated through experimental validations utilizing run-to-failure datasets, provided by the centre for intelligent maintenance systems.
