Damage identification technology of substation instrument panel for solving imbalanced classification

Abstract:

Edge computing plays an active role in empowering the power industry as a key technology for establishing data-driven Internet of things (IoT) applications. Traditional defect diagnosis mainly relies on regular inspection of equipment by operation and maintenance personnel at all levels, and its accuracy relies on the human experience. In actual production, the image data of some dashboard damage types are easy to collect in large quantities, while some dashboard damage types occur less frequently and are more difficult to collect. The use of edge computing nodes allows flexible and fast collection of smart meter data and transmission of the reduced data or results to a cloud computing center. In this study, we provide a fresh balanced training approach to address the issue of learning from unbalanced data. In the equilibrium training phase, a new impact balance loss is introduced to reduce the influence of samples on the overfitting decision boundary. Experimental results show that the proposed balance loss function effectively improves the performance of various types of imbalance learning methods.
