The power quality and efficiency of the hydro-power station depend on the stable operation of the hydro-generator unit, which needs to continue to operate and it is prone to axis failure. Therefore, to adopt effective axis adjustment technology to eliminate faults. This paper proposes a new method for axis adjustment of hydro-generator unit based on an improved grey prediction model and swarms intelligence optimization neural network. First of all, it proposes a sequence acceleration translation and mean value transformation method, which is used to pre-process the axis net total swing sequence that exhibits oscillating fluctuations. It uses e1 and e2 factor transformation to establish an improved axis net total swing gray prediction model. Then, the advanced flamingo search algorithm is used to search the maximum value of the sine function of the net total pendulum of the axis, and the axis adjustment orientation is obtained. This method solves the problem that GM(1, 1) can only be predicted by monotone sequence in the past and the problem that the search algorithm is easy to fall into local optimum, effectively improves the calculation efficiency of axis and shorts the search time. Simulation examples show that the proposed method can significantly improve accuracy of axis adjustment. This method greatly improves the efficiency of azimuth search for axis adjustment.
