    In order to solve the problem of misjudgment caused by the traditional power grid fault diagnosis methods, a new fusion diagnosis method is proposed based on the theory of multi-source information fusion. In this method, the fault degree of the power element is deduced by using the Bayesian network. Then, the time-domain singular spectrum entropy, frequency-domain power spectrum entropy and wavelet packet energy spectrum entropy of the electrical signals of each circuit after the failure are extracted, and these three characteristic quantities are taken as the fault support degree of the power components. Finally, the four fault degrees are normalized and classified as four evidence bodies in the D-S evidence theory for multi-feature fusion, which reduces the uncertainty brought by a single feature body. Simulation results show that the proposed method can obtain more reliable diagnosis results compared with the traditional methods

    University of Technology Sydney. Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.Fault diagnosis of reciprocating compressors (RCs) based on vibration signals plays a vital role in guaranteeing a high operating reliability in RCs. Conventional maintenance schemes, which are carried out on a regular basis, can lead to unnecessary maintenance and shutdowns. Online health monitoring can monitor the working conditions of RCs continuously and provide more specific information, thus allowing the RC to be maintained as needed. This PhD research focuses on the development of effective fault diagnosis methods using deep learning methods, thereby greatly advancing traditional health condition monitoring methods. Most traditional data-driven methods analyze the operating conditions using shallow models, which are incompetent at obtaining more confident results. To overcome this problem, a novel scheme based on deep learning models is proposed and applied to RC fault diagnosis. Traditional fault diagnosis methods select and extract features of raw signal with expertise and fuse them with shallow models. However, these methods cannot analyze the characteristics of signal in depth and thus degrade the performance of health monitoring. Deep learning methods are introduced in this research to calculate more representative features self-adaptive from the RC signals to improve fault diagnosis performance. As most fault diagnosis methods are based on vibration signals being the single information source, they cannot reflect the RC operating condition comprehensively. In this research, multi-source signals are collected and analysed for fault diagnosis. A scheme fusing multi-source information is proposed, as well as an auto-denoising network for denoising RC signals self-adaptively. This PhD thesis consists of seven chapters. Chapter 1 provides research background. Chapter 2 presents a literature review. Chapter 3 proposes a method using intrinsic vibration feature fusion and a Grassmann manifold-based similarity. Chapter 4 introduces the method of RC fault diagnosis using mode isolation-convolutional deep belief networks. Chapter 5 presents the intelligent fault diagnosis method using an optimized convolutional deep belief network. Chapter 6 proposes a novel ensemble empirical mode decomposition-convolutional deep belief network for RC fault diagnosis, and chapter 7 presents the conclusion and discusses future research in this area

    Time-efficient fault detection and diagnosis system for analog circuits

    Time-efficient fault analysis and diagnosis of analog circuits are the most important prerequisites to achieve online health monitoring of electronic equipments, which are involving continuing challenges of ultra-large-scale integration, component tolerance, limited test points but multiple faults. This work reports an FPGA (field programmable gate array)-based analog fault diagnostic system by applying two-dimensional information fusion, two-port network analysis and interval math theory. The proposed system has three advantages over traditional ones. First, it possesses high processing speed and smart circuit size as the embedded algorithms execute parallel on FPGA. Second, the hardware structure has a good compatibility with other diagnostic algorithms. Third, the equipped Ethernet interface enhances its flexibility for remote monitoring and controlling. The experimental results obtained from two realistic example circuits indicate that the proposed methodology had yielded competitive performance in both diagnosis accuracy and time-effectiveness, with about 96% accuracy while within 60 ms computational time.Peer reviewedFinal Published versio

    A Graphical Model to Diagnose Product Defects with Partially Shuffled Equipment Data

    Get PDF
    The diagnosis of product defects is an important task in manufacturing, and machine learning-based approaches have attracted interest from both the industry and academia. A high-quality dataset is necessary to develop a machine learning model, but the manufacturing industry faces several data-collection issues including partially shuffled data, which arises when a product ID is not perfectly inferred and yields an unstable machine learning model. This paper introduces latent variables to formulate a supervised learning model that addresses the problem of partially shuffled data. The experimental results show that our graphical model deals with the shuffling of product order and can detect a defective product far more effectively than a model that ignores shuffling.This work has supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) grant funded by the Korea government (MSIT) (2019R1A2C1088255)

    Fault detection, identification and accommodation techniques for unmanned airborne vehicles

    Get PDF
    Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAV) are assuming prominent roles in both the commercial and military aerospace industries. The promise of reduced costs and reduced risk to human life is one of their major attractions, however these low-cost systems are yet to gain acceptance as a safe alternate to manned solutions. The absence of a thinking, observing, reacting and decision making pilot reduces the UAVs capability of managing adverse situations such as faults and failures. This paper presents a review of techniques that can be used to track the system health onboard a UAV. The review is based on a year long literature review aimed at identifying approaches suitable for combating the low reliability and high attrition rates of today’s UAV. This research primarily focuses on real-time, onboard implementations for generating accurate estimations of aircraft health for fault accommodation and mission management (change of mission objectives due to deterioration in aircraft health). The major task of such systems is the process of detection, identification and accommodation of faults and failures (FDIA). A number of approaches exist, of which model-based techniques show particular promise. Model-based approaches use analytical redundancy to generate residuals for the aircraft parameters that can be used to indicate the occurrence of a fault or failure. Actions such as switching between redundant components or modifying control laws can then be taken to accommodate the fault. The paper further describes recent work in evaluating neural-network approaches to sensor failure detection and identification (SFDI). The results of simulations with a variety of sensor failures, based on a Matlab non-linear aircraft model are presented and discussed. Suggestions for improvements are made based on the limitations of this neural network approach with the aim of including a broader range of failures, while still maintaining an accurate model in the presence of these failures
