Partial discharge signal denoising method based on image information entropy and multivariate variational mode decomposition

ActiveCN116778171Blarge degree of certaintyincrease computing speedCharacter and pattern recognitionSignal waveCorrelation coefficient
This invention discloses a partial discharge (PD) signal denoising method based on image information entropy and multivariate variational mode decomposition (MMD). The method involves converting the noisy signal into a grayscale image, calculating the image information entropy, and optimizing the number of modes K in the MMD by combining Pearson correlation coefficient and execution efficiency to determine the optimal value. The noisy PD signal is then decomposed. The kurtosis value of each intrinsic mode component is calculated, and the nature of the mode component is determined based on a threshold, classifying it as either a dominant PD component or a noise component. A mathematical statistical method using the 3σ criterion is employed to filter out normally distributed white noise. The reconstructed signal is then denoised using an improved wavelet thresholding method to obtain the denoised PD signal. This denoising method accurately reduces noise in noisy PD signals, achieving good noise suppression and restoring the waveform characteristics of the PD signal while maintaining high execution efficiency.
