Abstract

In data-driven condition monitoring, data scarcity poses a challenge to the development of reliable methods for diagnosing faults in induction machines. This paper proposes two approaches to stochastically synthesize current signals representing various rotor bar health conditions using generative adversarial networks, by leveraging simulated and experimental data sources. First, a conditional generative adversarial network is trained using real time-series current signals collected from experiments. Second, the same network is trained using simulated data from a magnetic equivalent circuit as the conditioning input to the generator. Learning from physics-based simulations and experimental data overcomes the limitations of each data source while leveraging their respective advantages. The results show that generative adversarial networks are able to replicate stochastically current signals with broken rotor bar fault signatures in time and frequency domains with accurate amplitude and phase. Statistical features also show that the generated data closely matches the real measurements. Finally, two supervised machine learning models are successfully trained using exclusively synthetic data generated by our models to diagnose experimental data, confirming the models' capability to produce realistic fault signatures suitable for training diagnostic algorithms or augmenting datasets in data-scarce environments.
