To address the degradation in fault diagnosis accuracy caused by the imbalance of bearing fault data
this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on a wavelet-like transform generative adversarial network (WLT-GAN). In the proposed method
the wavelet-like transform neural network is embedded into the generator and combined with a dual-discriminator architecture
enabling the WLT-GAN to jointly learn time-domain and frequency-domain features from vibration signals and generate high-quality fault samples to effectively alleviate data imbalance. In addition
an ensemble learning strategy is employed to construct the fault diagnosis model
where a soft-voting mechanism integrates multi-source features to improve diagnostic accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the samples generated by WLT-GAN exhibit high similarity to real data in both time- and frequency-domain feature distributions. Leveraging the advantages of ensemble learning
the proposed method achieves high accuracy and robustness
providing an efficient and reliable solution for bearing fault diagnosis in wind turbine generators.
