Fault Diagnosis Method of DC Charging Points for EVs Based on Deep Belief Network

According to the complex fault mechanism of direct current (DC) charging points for electric vehicles (EVs) and the poor application effect of traditional fault diagnosis methods, a new kind of fault diagnosis method for DC charging points for EVs based on deep belief network (DBN) is proposed, which combines the advantages of DBN in feature extraction and processing nonlinear data. This method utilizes the actual measurement data of the charging points to realize the unsupervised feature extraction and parameter fine-tuning of the network, and builds the deep network model to complete the accurate fault diagnosis of the charging points. The effectiveness of this method is examined by comparing with the backpropagation neural network, radial basis function neural network, support vector machine, and convolutional neural network in terms of accuracy and model convergence time. The experimental results prove that the proposed method has a higher fault diagnosis accuracy than the above fault diagnosis methods.
