Abstract

Bu çalışmada, değişken hızlı senkron jeneratörlerde arıza teşhisi amacıyla beş farklı makine öğrenmesi algoritması olan Karar Ağacı, Rastgele Orman, En Yakın Komşular, Destek Vektör Makineleri ve Lojistik Regresyonun performansları incelenmiştir. Gerçek deneysel verilerden oluşan veri seti, jeneratörün hem sağlıklı hem de arızalı çalışma durumlarını içermektedir. Veri üzerinde Normalizasyon, Z-Score Standartlaştırması ve Özellik Seçimi gibi ön işleme adımları uygulanarak, bu işlemlerin sınıflandırma performansına etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Karar Ağacı algoritması %99.43 doğruluk oranı ve 0.975 MCC değeri ile en yüksek performansı göstermiştir. Rastgele Orman algoritması benzer sonuçlar verirken, En Yakın Komşular, Destek Vektör Makineleri ve Lojistik Regresyon algoritmaları daha düşük doğruluk değerlerine ulaşmıştır. Ön işleme adımlarının model performansında anlamlı bir artış sağlamadığı, veri setinin ölçek açısından zaten dengeli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, Karar Ağacı algoritmasının değişken hızlı senkron jeneratörlerde arıza tespiti için en uygun ve güvenilir yöntem olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışma, makine öğrenmesi tabanlı yaklaşımların jeneratörlerde erken arıza teşhisinde etkin bir şekilde kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.

Machine Learning Based Fault Diagnosis in Variable Speed Synchronous Generators

Abstract

In this study, the performance of five different machine learning algorithms, decision tree, random forest, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and logistic regression, was investigated for fault diagnosis in variable-speed synchronous generators. The dataset, consisting of real-world experimental data, includes both healthy and faulty generator operating states. Pre-processing steps such as normalization, Z-Score standardization, and feature selection were applied to the data, and the effects of these processes on classification performance were evaluated. According to the findings, the decision tree algorithm achieved the highest performance with an accurate rate of 99.43% and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) value of 0.975. While the random forest algorithm yielded similar results, the KNN, SVM, and logistic regression algorithms achieved lower accuracy values. It was determined that the pre-processing steps did not provide a significant increase in model performance, and the dataset was already balanced in terms of scale. The results revealed that the decision tree algorithm is the most suitable and reliable method for fault detection in variable-speed synchronous generators. This study demonstrates that machine learning-based approaches can be used effectively in early fault diagnosis in generators.
