Abstract Power prediction has been critical in large-scale wind power grid connections. However, traditional wind power prediction methods have long suffered from problems, for instance low prediction accuracy and poor reliability. For this purpose, a hybrid prediction model (VMD-LSTM-Attention) has been proposed, which integrates the variational modal decomposition (VMD), the long short-term memory (LSTM), and the attention mechanism (Attention), and has been optimized by improved dung beetle optimization algorithm (IDBO). Firstly, the algorithm’s performance has been significantly enhanced through the implementation of three key strategies, namely the elite group strategy of the Logistic-Tent map, the nonlinear… More >

Abstract This paper proposes an integrated multi-stage framework to enhance frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) automotive radar performance under high noise and interference. The four-stage pipeline is applied consecutively: (i) an improved independent component analysis (ICA) blindly separates the two-channel echoes, isolating target and interference components; (ii) a recursive least-squares (RLS) filter compensates amplitude- and phase-mismatches, restoring signal fidelity; (iii) variational mode decomposition (VMD) followed by the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) extracts noise-free intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and sharpens their time-frequency signatures; and (iv) HHT-based beat-frequency estimation reconstructs a clean echo and delivers accurate range information.

Abstract To improve the fault diagnosis accuracy of a PV grid-connected inverter, a PV grid-connected inverter data diagnosis method based on MPA-VMD-PSO-BiLSTM is proposed. Firstly, unlike the traditional VMD algorithm which relies on manual experience to set parameters (e.g., noise tolerance, penalty parameter, number of decompositions), this paper achieves adaptive optimization of parameters through MPA algorithm to avoid the problem of feature information loss caused by manual parameter tuning, and adopts the improved VMD algorithm for feature extraction of DC-side voltage data signals of PV-grid-connected inverters; and then, adopts the PSO algorithm for the Then, the… More >

Abstract Considering the noise problem of the acquisition signals from mechanical transmission systems, a novel denoising method is proposed that combines Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) with wavelet thresholding. The key innovation of this method lies in the optimization of VMD parameters K and using the improved Horned Lizard Optimization Algorithm (IHLOA). An inertia weight parameter is introduced into the random walk strategy of HLOA, and the related formula is improved. The acquisition signal can be adaptively decomposed into some Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), and the high-noise IMFs are identified based on a correlation coefficient-variance method. Further noise… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Rolling bearings are important parts of industrial equipment, and their fault diagnosis is crucial to maintaining these equipment’s regular operations. With the goal of improving the fault diagnosis accuracy of rolling bearings under complex working conditions and noise, this study proposes a multiscale information fusion method for fault diagnosis of rolling bearings based on fast Fourier transform (FFT) and variational mode decomposition (VMD), as well as the Senet (SE)-TCNnet (TCN) model. FFT is used to transform the original one-dimensional time domain vibration signal into a frequency domain signal, while VMD is used to decompose the… More >

Abstract The output of photovoltaic power stations is significantly affected by environmental factors, leading to intermittent and fluctuating power generation. With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events due to global warming, photovoltaic power stations may experience drastic reductions in power generation or even complete shutdowns during such conditions. The integration of these stations on a large scale into the power grid could potentially pose challenges to system stability. To address this issue, in this study, we propose a network architecture based on VMD-KELM for predicting the power output of photovoltaic power plants during severe weather… More >

Abstract As the penetration ratio of wind power in active distribution networks continues to increase, the system exhibits some characteristics such as randomness and volatility. Fast and accurate short-term wind power prediction is essential for algorithms like scheduling and optimization control. Based on the spatio-temporal features of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data, it proposes the WVMD_DSN (Whale Optimization Algorithm, Variational Mode Decomposition, Dual Stream Network) model. The model first applies Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) to choose some NWP features with strong correlation to wind power to form the feature set. Then, it decomposes the feature set More >

Abstract The denoising of microseismic signals is a prerequisite for subsequent analysis and research. In this research, a new microseismic signal denoising algorithm called the Black Widow Optimization Algorithm (BWOA) optimized Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) joint Wavelet Threshold Denoising (WTD) algorithm (BVW) is proposed. The BVW algorithm integrates VMD and WTD, both of which are optimized by BWOA. Specifically, this algorithm utilizes VMD to decompose the microseismic signal to be denoised into several Band-Limited Intrinsic Mode Functions (BLIMFs). Subsequently, these BLIMFs whose correlation coefficients with the microseismic signal to be denoised are higher than a threshold… More >
