Fault Rate Estimation of Electric Energy Meter Based on WDPOD-NHBM

To solve the problems of the small amount of sample information in the original failure rate data of smart energy meters and the difficulty of mining under typical environmental stress, a smart energy meter failure rate prediction and reliability evaluation model based on double precision combined with nonlinear hierarchical Bayes is proposed. First, the KNN algorithm is used to test the outliers in the original data, and a double-precision outlier detection algorithm is further established to assign the weight to outliers. Then, a nonlinear hierarchical Bayesian model is built based on Weibull distribution, and couples the failure rate data of smart energy meters with various typical environmental stresses. Through multi-dimensional analysis of the data distribution rule, the most prior distribution is selected. Finally, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method is used to sample and solve the posterior condition distribution of the model parameters. The posterior parameters and confidence interval estimation are obtained, and the reliability of the smart energy meters is calculated as 95%. The experimental results show that the method can accurately predict the trend of the failure rate of smart energy meters over time in a typical environment.
