Subspace Frequency Estimation Under Colored Noise With Application to Fault Diagnosis of Motor Rolling Bearings

Aiming at the problem of colored noise in the signal, this article proposes a subspace frequency estimation approach under colored noise with application to fault diagnosis of motor rolling bearings. First, a nonlinear discrete-time system is described to generate colored noise. An extended I/O model with parameters of a nonlinear discrete-time system is given by the subspace method. Then, the gap metric-aided system order determination approach is developed for extended observability matrix identification. Then, the data-driven diagnostic observer parameter identification approach and the fast approximate power iterative subspace method are adopted to realize online monitoring for frequency change detection. Eventually, a data-driven design scheme of residual generator is proposed for the implementation of fault detection. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is verified for fault diagnosis performance through numerical simulations and the experimental measurements from the dynamic motor rolling bearing experiment rig.
