Abstract: The accuracy of hydro-turbine fault diagnosis directly impacts the safety and operational efficiency of hydroelectric power generation systems. This paper addresses the challenge of low diagnostic accuracy in traditional methods under complex environments. This is achieved by proposing a signal preprocessing method that combines complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise and multiscale permutation entropy (CEEMDAN-MPE) and that is optimized with the crested porcupine optimizer algorithm for the bidirectional long- and short-term memory network (CPO-BILSTM) model for hydro-turbine fault diagnosis. The method performs signal denoising using CEEMDAN, while MPE extracts key features. Furthermore, the hyperparameters of the CPO-optimized BILSTM model are innovatively introduced. The extracted signal features are fed into the CPO-BILSTM model for fault diagnosis. A total of 150 sets of acoustic vibrational signals are collected for validation using the hydro-turbine test bench under different operating conditions. The experimental results demonstrate that the diagnostic accuracy of the method is 96.67%, representing improvements of 23.34%, 16.67%, and 6.67% over traditional models such as LSTM (73.33%), CNN (80%), and BILSTM (90%), respectively. In order to verify the effectiveness of the signal preprocessing method, in this paper, the original signal, the signal processed by CEEMDAN, CEEMDAN-PE, and CEEMDAN-MPE are input into the CPO-BILSTM model for controlled experiments. The results demonstrate that CEEMDAN-MPE effectively denoises hydro-turbine acoustic vibrational signals while preserving key features. The method in this paper integrates signal preprocessing and deep learning models and, with the help of intelligent optimization algorithms, significantly enhances the model’s adaptive ability, improves the model’s applicability under complex operating conditions, and provides a valuable supplement for hydro-turbine fault diagnosis.
