Abstract
This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method for star-connected auto-transformer based 24-pulse rectifier unit (ATRU) by integrating artificial neural networks (ANN) with wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) and principal component analysis (PCA). The WPD is employed to extract the features of different fault waveforms of the output voltage of the rectifier. PCA is adopted to reduce the dimensionality of the extracted feature vectors, which leads to fast computation of the algorithm. Back Propagation (BP) neural network is adopted to classify the fault types and determine the fault location according to the extracted features. These faults are simulated in real-time simulation platform and the obtained data are then analyzed with MATLAB toolbox, and finally verified with digital signal processor. Compared with other diagnosis methods, the proposed method shows better performance and faster computing speed.
