Remaining useful life prediction of aircraft lithium-ion batteries based on F-distribution particle filter and kernel smoothing algorithm

As an emergency and auxiliary power source for aircraft,lithium(Li)-ion batteries are important components of aerospace power systems.The Remaining Useful Life(RUL)prediction of Li-ion batteries is a key technology to ensure the reliable operation of aviation power systems.Particle Filter(PF)is an effective method to predict the RUL of Li-ion batteries because of its uncertainty representation and management ability.However,there are problems that particle weights cannot be updated in the prediction stage and particles degradation.To settle these issues,an innovative technique of F-distribution PF and Kernel Smoothing(FPFKS)algorithm is proposed.In the prediction stage,the weights of the particles are dynamically updated by the F kernel instead of being fixed all the time.Meanwhile,a first-order independent Markov capacity degradation model is established.Moreover,the kernel smoothing algorithm is integrated into PF,so that the variance of the parameters of capacity degradation model keeps invariant.Experiments based on NASA battery data sets show that FPFKS can be excellently applied to RUL prediction of Liion batteries.

A multi-criteria fusion feature selection algorithm for fault diagnosis of helicopter planetary gear train

Planetary gear train is a prominent component of helicopter transmission system and its health is of great significance for the flight safety of the helicopter.During health condition monitoring,the selection of a fault sensitive feature subset is meaningful for fault diagnosis of helicopter planetary gear train.According to actual situation,this paper proposed a multi-criteria fusion feature selection algorithm (MCFFSA) to identify an optimal feature subset from the highdimensional original feature space.In MCFFSA,a fault feature set of multiple domains,including time domain,frequency domain and wavelet domain,is first extracted from the raw vibration dataset.Four targeted criteria are then fused by multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) to find Proto-efficient subsets,wherein two criteria for measuring diagnostic performance are assessed by sparse Bayesian extreme learning machine (SBELM).Further,Fmeasure is adopted to identify the optimal feature subset,which was employed for subsequent fault diagnosis.The effectiveness of MCFFSA is validated through six fault recognition datasets from a real helicopter transmission platform.The experimental results illustrate the superiority of combination of MOEA/D and SBELM in MCFFSA,and comparative analysis demonstrates that the optimal feature subset provided by MCFFSA can achieve a better diagnosis performance than other algorithms.
