Resumen
Accurate identification of electrical load working status can provide information support to the remote electrical distribution system (EDS) of more electric aircraft (MEA), which could use it to realize redundant switching and protection. This paper presents a method to automatically identify the load status on the remote power distribution unit (RPDU) of MEA by using an intelligent algorithm. The experimental platform is built in an aircraft Electrical Power System (EPS) distribution large-scale test cabin. Four pieces of typical aviation equipment are installed in the test cabin and powered from RPDU. Voltage and current values under 15 working combinations on the RPDU are measured to extract the steady-state V-I trajectory. In total, 750 group samples were collected in the feature parameter database. A generalized regression neural network (GRNN) identification model was established, and the smoothing factor was calculated by using a conventional cross-validation method to train and reach an optimal value. However, the identification results are not ideal. In order to improve the accuracy, the parameter of GRNN was optimized by genetic algorithms. The proposed model shows great performance as accuracy of all 15 classifications reached 100%. The proposed model has advantages of flexible network structure, high fault tolerance, and robustness. It can realize global approximation optimization, avoid local optimization, effectively improve GRNN fitting accuracy, improve model generalization ability, and reduce model training calculation.
