Fault diagnosis of induction motor anomalies is vital for achieving industry safety. This paper proposes a new hybrid Machine Learning methodology for induction-motor fault detection. Some of the motor parameters such as the stator currents and vibration signals provide a great deal of information about the motor’s conditions. Therefore, these signals of the motor were selected to test the proposed model. The induction motor was assessed in a laboratory under healthy, mechanical, and electrical faults with different loadings. In this study a new hybrid model was developed using the collected signals, an optimal features selection mechanism is proposed, and machine learning classifiers were trained for fault classification. The procedure is to extract some statistical features from the raw signal using Matching Pursuit (MP) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Then, the Invasive Weed Optimization algorithm (IWO)-based optimal subset was selected to reduce the data dimension and increase the average accuracy of the model. The optimal subset of features was fed into three classification algorithms: k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF), which were trained using k-fold cross-validation to distinguish between the induction motor faults. A similar strategy was performed by applying the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to compare with the performance of the proposed method. The suggested fault detection model’s performance was evaluated by calculating the Receiver Operation Characteristic (ROC) curve, Specificity, Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1 score. The experimental results have proved the superiority of IWO for selecting the discriminant features, which has achieved more than 99.7% accuracy. The proposed hybrid model has successfully proved its robustness for diagnosing the faults under different load conditions. Full article

This study develops and implements a design of the Fuzzy Proportional Integral Derivative with filtered derivative mode (Fuzzy PIDF) for Load Frequency Control (LFC) of a two-area interconnected power system. To attain the optimal values of the proposed structure’s parameters which guarantee the best possible performance, the Bees Algorithm (BA) and other optimisation tools are used to accomplish this task. A Step Load Perturbation (SLP) of 0.2 pu is applied in area one to examine the dynamic performance of the system with the proposed controller employed as the LFC system. The supremacy of Fuzzy PIDF is proven by comparing the results with those of previous studies for the same power system. As the designed controller is required to provide reliable performance, this study is further extended to propose three different fuzzy control configurations that offer higher reliability, namely Fuzzy Cascade PI − PD, Fuzzy PI plus Fuzzy PD, and Fuzzy (PI + PD), optimized by the BA for the LFC for the same dual-area power system. Moreover, an extensive examination of the robustness of these structures towards the parametric uncertainties of the investigated power system, considering thirteen cases, is carried out. The simulation results indicate that the contribution of the BA tuned the proposed fuzzy control structures in alleviating the overshoot, undershoot, and the settling time of the frequency in both areas and the tie-line power oscillations. Based on the obtained results, it is revealed that the lowest drop of the frequency in area one is −0.0414 Hz, which is achieved by the proposed Fuzzy PIDF tuned by the BA. It is also divulged that the proposed techniques, as was evidenced by their performance, offer a good transient response, a considerable capability for disturbance rejection, and an insensitivity towards the parametric uncertainty of the controlled system.
