The SPSM was subjected to varying SE and DE severities, unbalanced source voltages, and load conditions. Stator and field current data were measured, and various time-domain and frequency-domain features were extracted from the above-mentioned data. Both networks were fed these features and compared based on classification accuracy, robustness, and computational complexity.en-USArtificial Neural Network (ANN)Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)classificationDynamic Eccentricity (DE)featuresStatic Eccentricity (SE)Salient Pole Synchronous Machine (SPSM)Article
