Accident Factors Importance Ranking for Intelligent Energy Systems Based on a Novel Data Mining Strategy

As global energy networks expand and smart grid technology evolves rapidly, the volume of historical power accident data has increased dramatically, containing valuable risk information that is essential for building efficient public safety early warning systems. This paper introduces an innovative text analysis method, the Sparse Coefficient Optimized Weighted FP-Growth Algorithm (SCO-WFP), which is designed to optimize the processing of power accident-related textual data and more effectively uncover hidden patterns behind accidents. The method enhances the evaluation of sparse risk factors by preprocessing, clustering analysis, and calculating piecewise weights of power accident data. The SCO-WFP algorithm is then applied to extract frequent itemsets, revealing deep associations between accident severity and risk factors. Experimental results show that, compared to traditional methods, the SCO-WFP algorithm significantly improves both accuracy and execution speed. The findings demonstrate the method’s effectiveness in mining frequent itemsets from text semantics, facilitating a deeper understanding of the relationship between risk factors and accident severity.
