Advancing Fault Detection Efficiency in Wireless Power Transmission with Light GBM for Real-Time Detection Enhancement

Abstract

This study introduces WirelessGridBoost, an innovative framework designed to revolutionize real-time fault detection in wireless electrical grids by harnessing the power of the LightGBM machine learning algorithm. Traditional fault detection systems in electrical grids often face challenges such as latency and scalability due to the intricate nature of grid operations and limitations in communication infrastructure. To overcome these challenges, WirelessGridBoost integrates LightGBM, a highly efficient gradient boosting decision tree algorithm, with wireless technology to facilitate advanced fault detection capabilities. Trained on historical sensor data, the LightGBM model demonstrates exceptional proficiency in discerning complex fault patterns inherent in electrical grid operations. Deployed across strategically positioned wireless nodes within the grid, WirelessGridBoost enables prompt identification of anomalies in real-time. Extensive simulations and experiments conducted on a real-world grid testbed validate the effectiveness of WirelessGridBoost, achieving a fault detection accuracy of 96.80% and reducing latency by 38% compared to conventional methods. This research presents a promising avenue for enhancing fault detection efficiency in wireless electrical grids through the innovative WirelessGridBoost framework.
