4 Health Assessment Based onSelf-Organizing Feature Map Network

41 The Principle of Self-Organizing Feature Map NetworkSelf-organizing feature map (SOM) model [19] is a kindof competitive neural network which introduces the self-organizing characteristics and is the same as competitiveneural network by using unsupervised learning style Thedifference is that the self-organizing map network can notonly learn the distribution of input samples but also identifythe topology of the input vector Classifications are performedby multiple neurons interop with each other Figure 3 isthe networkrsquos structure diagram The self-organizing mapnetwork contains two layers which are the input layer and theoutput layer the input and output neurons are linked togetherby weight at the same time neighboring neurons are alsolinked by weight vector The transfer function of the outputneurons is mainly the linear function so the output value isthe sum of the linear weighted input value Suppose that thenumber of input neurons is119898 the output neuron is 119899 weightis 119908119894119895 and the output value of the output neurons 119884

119895will be

Self-organizing feature map algorithm is a kind of clus-tering method without teachers which can map any inputmode into one- two- or multidimensional discrete graphicsin the output layer and still keep its structure unchangedThe learning process can be described as follows for each ofthe networks input health characteristics it just adjusts partsof the weights which make the weight vectors more closeor far from the input vector And the adjustment process iscalled the competitive learning As the continuous learningthe weight vectors in the input space are separated and forma mode which represents the input space respectively whichrealizes the clustering of the health characteristics and healthlevel

42 The Network Learning and Health Assessment Figure 4is the flow chart of for the network learning and systemhealth assessmentThe healthier the system is the smaller thedeviation value is Therefore the fault degree of the clusteringneuronsrsquo output is lower and the health degree is higherThe following is to explain how the clustering parameters areselected and the training steps of the network respectively

421The Selection of Clustering Parameters Parameters hereare mainly the number of categories When we use the self-organizing featuremapnetwork to cluster the structure of thecompetition layer is set as 3times 3 and the clustering category ofthe number is 9 As for meticulous category the system healthwill be divided into many health levels that do not have muchpoint While it is not enough detailed if only it is dividedinto two categories As the input vector is 8 dimensions sothe networkrsquos input layer contains eight neuron nodes andthe competitive layer contains nine neuron nodes After thetraining each input vector belongs to a competitive layer

119867 = (1 + 120576 minus 119863) times 100 (7)

Among them 119863 is the systemrsquos damage degree which isalso the fault degree119867 is the systemrsquos health degree and 120576 isthe correction coefficient of the system health and generallyranges from 0 to 01

Network Input Samples do dot product with the weightvector and the maximum of the output neurons will winthe competition As the sample and weight vectors havebeen normalized so the minimum Euclidean distance can beworked out by calculating the maximum dot product

119863 = 119909 minus 120596 (9)

The neurons who get the minimum Euclidean distancewill win as the winning neuron

Update the Weights For the neurons on the winning neurontopological neighborhoodKohonen rule is applied to update

120596 (119896 + 1) = 120596 (119896) + 120578 (119909 minus 120596 (119896)) (10)

Different distance functions can be used to determine theneighborhood the commonly used Euclidean distance (dist)is the Manhattan distance (mandist) and so forth

Update the learning rate 120578 and the topological neighbor-hood and normalize the learned weights Learning rates andthe neighborhood sizes are adjusted according to the stage ofsorting and adjustment

4 Health Assessment Based onSelf-Organizing Feature Map Network

41 The Principle of Self-Organizing Feature Map NetworkSelf-organizing feature map (SOM) model [19] is a kindof competitive neural network which introduces the self-organizing characteristics and is the same as competitiveneural network by using unsupervised learning style Thedifference is that the self-organizing map network can notonly learn the distribution of input samples but also identifythe topology of the input vector Classifications are performedby multiple neurons interop with each other Figure 3 isthe networkrsquos structure diagram The self-organizing mapnetwork contains two layers which are the input layer and theoutput layer the input and output neurons are linked togetherby weight at the same time neighboring neurons are alsolinked by weight vector The transfer function of the outputneurons is mainly the linear function so the output value isthe sum of the linear weighted input value Suppose that thenumber of input neurons is119898 the output neuron is 119899 weightis 119908119894119895 and the output value of the output neurons 119884

119895will be

Self-organizing feature map algorithm is a kind of clus-tering method without teachers which can map any inputmode into one- two- or multidimensional discrete graphicsin the output layer and still keep its structure unchangedThe learning process can be described as follows for each ofthe networks input health characteristics it just adjusts partsof the weights which make the weight vectors more closeor far from the input vector And the adjustment process iscalled the competitive learning As the continuous learningthe weight vectors in the input space are separated and forma mode which represents the input space respectively whichrealizes the clustering of the health characteristics and healthlevel

42 The Network Learning and Health Assessment Figure 4is the flow chart of for the network learning and systemhealth assessmentThe healthier the system is the smaller thedeviation value is Therefore the fault degree of the clusteringneuronsrsquo output is lower and the health degree is higherThe following is to explain how the clustering parameters areselected and the training steps of the network respectively

421The Selection of Clustering Parameters Parameters hereare mainly the number of categories When we use the self-organizing featuremapnetwork to cluster the structure of thecompetition layer is set as 3times 3 and the clustering category ofthe number is 9 As for meticulous category the system healthwill be divided into many health levels that do not have muchpoint While it is not enough detailed if only it is dividedinto two categories As the input vector is 8 dimensions sothe networkrsquos input layer contains eight neuron nodes andthe competitive layer contains nine neuron nodes After thetraining each input vector belongs to a competitive layer

node And the fault degree119863 of networkrsquos output ranges from01 to 09 01 means the system is in normal or safe statewhile 09 means that the system has a major failure and thenumber between them means that the system is in a state ofdegradation failure The higher the fault degree is the moreserious the system failure isThus the system health degree119867is defined as follows

119867 = (1 + 120576 minus 119863) times 100 (7)

Among them 119863 is the systemrsquos damage degree which isalso the fault degree119867 is the systemrsquos health degree and 120576 isthe correction coefficient of the system health and generallyranges from 0 to 01

Network Input Samples do dot product with the weightvector and the maximum of the output neurons will winthe competition As the sample and weight vectors havebeen normalized so the minimum Euclidean distance can beworked out by calculating the maximum dot product

119863 = 119909 minus 120596 (9)

The neurons who get the minimum Euclidean distancewill win as the winning neuron

Update the Weights For the neurons on the winning neurontopological neighborhoodKohonen rule is applied to update

120596 (119896 + 1) = 120596 (119896) + 120578 (119909 minus 120596 (119896)) (10)

4 Health Assessment Based onSelf-Organizing Feature Map Network

41 The Principle of Self-Organizing Feature Map NetworkSelf-organizing feature map (SOM) model [19] is a kindof competitive neural network which introduces the self-organizing characteristics and is the same as competitiveneural network by using unsupervised learning style Thedifference is that the self-organizing map network can notonly learn the distribution of input samples but also identifythe topology of the input vector Classifications are performedby multiple neurons interop with each other Figure 3 isthe networkrsquos structure diagram The self-organizing mapnetwork contains two layers which are the input layer and theoutput layer the input and output neurons are linked togetherby weight at the same time neighboring neurons are alsolinked by weight vector The transfer function of the outputneurons is mainly the linear function so the output value isthe sum of the linear weighted input value Suppose that thenumber of input neurons is119898 the output neuron is 119899 weightis 119908119894119895 and the output value of the output neurons 119884

119895will be

Self-organizing feature map algorithm is a kind of clus-tering method without teachers which can map any inputmode into one- two- or multidimensional discrete graphicsin the output layer and still keep its structure unchangedThe learning process can be described as follows for each ofthe networks input health characteristics it just adjusts partsof the weights which make the weight vectors more closeor far from the input vector And the adjustment process iscalled the competitive learning As the continuous learningthe weight vectors in the input space are separated and forma mode which represents the input space respectively whichrealizes the clustering of the health characteristics and healthlevel

42 The Network Learning and Health Assessment Figure 4is the flow chart of for the network learning and systemhealth assessmentThe healthier the system is the smaller thedeviation value is Therefore the fault degree of the clusteringneuronsrsquo output is lower and the health degree is higherThe following is to explain how the clustering parameters areselected and the training steps of the network respectively

421The Selection of Clustering Parameters Parameters hereare mainly the number of categories When we use the self-organizing featuremapnetwork to cluster the structure of thecompetition layer is set as 3times 3 and the clustering category ofthe number is 9 As for meticulous category the system healthwill be divided into many health levels that do not have muchpoint While it is not enough detailed if only it is dividedinto two categories As the input vector is 8 dimensions sothe networkrsquos input layer contains eight neuron nodes andthe competitive layer contains nine neuron nodes After thetraining each input vector belongs to a competitive layer

119867 = (1 + 120576 minus 119863) times 100 (7)

Among them 119863 is the systemrsquos damage degree which isalso the fault degree119867 is the systemrsquos health degree and 120576 isthe correction coefficient of the system health and generallyranges from 0 to 01

Network Input Samples do dot product with the weightvector and the maximum of the output neurons will winthe competition As the sample and weight vectors havebeen normalized so the minimum Euclidean distance can beworked out by calculating the maximum dot product

The neurons who get the minimum Euclidean distancewill win as the winning neuron

119894119899(119896)] is the weight vector

between each of input nodes and output neurons

Initialization Small random values are used as initializedweights then the input vector and weights are normalized asfollows

Network Input Samples do dot product with the weightvector and the maximum of the output neurons will winthe competition As the sample and weight vectors havebeen normalized so the minimum Euclidean distance can beworked out by calculating the maximum dot product

119863 = 119909 minus 120596 (9)

The neurons who get the minimum Euclidean distancewill win as the winning neuron

Update the Weights For the neurons on the winning neurontopological neighborhoodKohonen rule is applied to update

120596 (119896 + 1) = 120596 (119896) + 120578 (119909 minus 120596 (119896)) (10)

Different distance functions can be used to determine theneighborhood the commonly used Euclidean distance (dist)is the Manhattan distance (mandist) and so forth

Update the learning rate 120578 and the topological neighbor-hood and normalize the learned weights Learning rates andthe neighborhood sizes are adjusted according to the stage ofsorting and adjustment

Determine If Convergence Determine whether the numberof iterations reaches the maximum if it did not reach themaximum number of iterations then go to the third step orend the algorithm

6 Conclusions

This paper extracted the health variables of the motordrive system by analyzing the control principles and faultmechanism firstly Then they are preprocessed to get thehealth degreeWith the self-organizing featuremap networkrsquosunsupervised and autonomous learning characteristics thesystem fault is clustered and recognized quickly through thecompetition clustering The fault of the switching device istaken as example to validate the algorithm by the simulationexperiment and demonstration Finally the health degreeis put forward to complete the systemrsquos health assessmentwhich has an important guiding significance for railwaymotor drive systemrsquos safety assessment and maintenance

Of course due to the limited time and ability this paperjust put forward a preliminary health assessment scheme andalgorithm Later there is a need for research of the capac-itancersquos aging damage electrical insulation failure sensorfailure and also the analysis of different failure mode effecton the system in order to realize the online health assessmentand safety early warning for the trainrsquos safety reliability andstability
