Intelligent Electrical Fault Detection and Recognition Based on Gray Wolf Optimization and Support Vector Machine

With the increase of electrical equipment, the hidden danger of its failure also rises. Aiming at the problem that the classification accuracy of the basic traditional classification algorithm is not high when judging whether the electrical failure occurs, this paper proposes a Gray Wolf Optimization Support Vector Machine model to improve the recognition rate of electrical diagnosis, referred to as GWO-SVM. We first collected the most common linear (incandescent lamps) and non-linear (microwave ovens) household electrical appliances in normal working and arc fault waveform signals in real life, and then carried out frequency domain feature extraction. Finally, compared with no-optimized SVM and BP neural network, we employed the gray wolf optimization algorithm to optimize support vector machine, and the accuracy of GWO-SVM reaches 90%.
