Abstract
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, deep learning has become widely used to monitor the state of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). However, to achieve accurate condition detection, datasets with large quantities of labeled data must be used for model training. Accuracy decreases considerably when the quantity of labeled data is insufficient. To address this problem, a fault diagnosis method based on an improved deep Q-network (DQN) is designed in this study to detect inter-turn short circuit (ITSC) faults. In this method, first, a one-dimensional group convolutional neural network–based conditional generative adversarial network is used to expand the collected dataset. Subsequently, a DQN-based fault diagnosis method is applied. A one-dimensional deep residual shrinkage network and the prioritized experience replay strategy are introduced into the original network structure, and the sampling strategy of the original network is optimized. Finally, the fault diagnosis capability of the proposed method was evaluated in several experiments. The proposed method considerably outperformed competing algorithms: it had a diagnosis rate of 98.49% for the ITSC faults of PMSMs and a diagnosis rate of 99.50% on the bearing dataset of Case Western University with certain generalizations. The proposed method is promising for use in circuit fault detection.
