Optimizing the Probabilistic Neural Network Model with the Improved Manta Ray Foraging Optimization Algorithm to Identify Pressure Fluctuation Signal Features.

To improve the identification accuracy of pressure fluctuation signals in the draft tube of hydraulic turbines, this study proposes an improved manta ray foraging optimization (ITMRFO) algorithm to optimize the identification method of a probabilistic neural network (PNN). Specifically, first, discrete wavelet transform was used to extract features from vibration signals, and then, fuzzy c-means algorithm (FCM) clustering was used to automatically classify the collected information. In order to solve the local optimization problem of the manta ray foraging optimization (MRFO) algorithm, four optimization strategies were proposed. These included optimizing the initial population of the MRFO algorithm based on the elite opposition learning algorithm and using adaptive t distribution to replace its chain factor to optimize individual update strategies and other improvement strategies. The ITMRFO algorithm was compared with three algorithms on 23 test functions to verify its superiority. In order to improve the classification accuracy of the probabilistic neural network (PNN) affected by smoothing factors, an improved manta ray foraging optimization (ITMRFO) algorithm was used to optimize them. An ITMRFO-PNN model was established and compared with the PNN and MRFO-PNN models to evaluate their performance in identifying pressure fluctuation signals in turbine draft tubes. The evaluation indicators include confusion matrix, accuracy, precision, recall rate, F1-score, and accuracy and error rate. The experimental results confirm the correctness and effectiveness of the ITMRFO-PNN model, providing a solid theoretical foundation for identifying pressure fluctuation signals in hydraulic turbine draft tubes.

Vibration State Identification of Hydraulic Units Based on Improved Artificial Rabbits Optimization Algorithm.

To improve the identification accuracy of the vibration states of hydraulic units, an improved artificial rabbits optimization algorithm (IARO) adopting an adaptive weight adjustment strategy is developed for optimizing the support vector machine (SVM) to obtain an identification model, and the vibration signals with different states are classified and identified. The variational mode decomposition (VMD) method is used to decompose the vibration signals, and the multi-dimensional time-domain feature vectors of the signals are extracted. The IARO algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of the SVM multi-classifier. The multi-dimensional time-domain feature vectors are input into the IARO-SVM model to realize the classification and identification of vibration signal states, and the results are compared with those of the ARO-SVM model, ASO-SVM model, PSO-SVM model and WOA-SVM model. The comparative results show that the average identification accuracy of the IARO-SVM model is higher at 97.78% than its competitors, which is 3.34% higher than the closest ARO-SVM model. Therefore, the IARO-SVM model has higher identification accuracy and better stability, and can accurately identify the vibration states of hydraulic units. The research can provide a theoretical basis for the vibration identification of hydraulic units.
