Fault detection and diagnosis for data incomplete industrial systems with new Bayesian network approach

For the fault detection and diagnosis problem in largescale industrial systems, there are two important issues： the missing data samples and the non-Gaussian property of the data. However, most of the existing data-driven methods cannot be able to handle both of them. Thus, a new Bayesian network classifier based fault detection and diagnosis method is proposed. At first, a non-imputation method is presented to handle the data incomplete samples, with the property of the proposed Bayesian network classifier, and the missing values can be marginalized in an elegant manner. Furthermore, the Gaussian mixture model is used to approximate the non-Gaussian data with a linear combination of finite Gaussian mixtures, so that the Bayesian network can process the non-Gaussian data in an effective way. Therefore, the entire fault detection and diagnosis method can deal with the high-dimensional incomplete process samples in an efficient and robust way. The diagnosis results are expressed in the manner of probability with the reliability scores. The proposed approach is evaluated with a benchmark problem called the Tennessee Eastman process. The simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method in fault detection and diagnosis for large-scale systems with missing measurements.

Deep learning technique for process fault detection and diagnosis in the presence of incomplete data

In modern industrial processes, timely detection and diagnosis of process abnormalities are critical for monitoring process operations. Various fault detection and diagnosis(FDD) methods have been proposed and implemented, the performance of which, however, could be drastically influenced by the common presence of incomplete or missing data in real industrial scenarios. This paper presents a new FDD approach based on an incomplete data imputation technique for process fault recognition. It employs the modified stacked autoencoder,a deep learning structure, in the phase of incomplete data treatment, and classifies data representations rather than the imputed complete data in the phase of fault identification. A benchmark process, the Tennessee Eastman process, is employed to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method.

Chiller faults detection and diagnosis with sensor network and adaptive 1D CNN

Computer-empowered detection of possible faults for Heating,Ventilation and Air-Conditioning(HVAC)subsystems,e.g.,chillers,is one of the most important applications in Artificial Intelligence(AI)integrated Internet of Things(IoT).The cyber-physical system greatly enhances the safety and security of the working facilities,reducing time,saving energy and protecting humans’health.Under the current trends of smart building design and energy management optimization,Automated Fault Detection and Diagnosis(AFDD)of chillers integrated with IoT is highly demanded.Recent studies show that standard machine learning techniques,such as Principal Component Analysis(PCA),Support Vector Machine(SVM)and tree-structure-based algorithms,are useful in capturing various chiller faults with high accuracy rates.With the fast development of deep learning technology,Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)have been widely and successfully applied to various fields.However,for chiller AFDD,few existing works are adopting CNN and its extensions in the feature extraction and classification processes.In this study,we propose to perform chiller FDD using a CNN-based approach.The proposed approach has two distinct advantages over existing machine learning-based chiller AFDD methods.First,the CNN-based approach does not require the feature selection/extraction process.Since CNN is reputable with its feature extraction capability,the feature extraction and classification processes are merged,leading to a more neat AFDD framework compared to traditional approaches.Second,the classification accuracy is significantly improved compared to traditional methods using the CNN-based approach.

A Reinforcement Learning System for Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Mechatronic Systems

With the increasing demand for the automation of operations and processes in mechatronic systems,fault detection and diagnosis has become a major topic to guarantee the process performance.There exist numerous studies on the topic of applying artificial intelligence methods for fault detection and diagnosis.However,much of the focus has been given on the detection of faults.In terms of the diagnosis of faults,on one hand,assumptions are required,which restricts the diagnosis range.On the other hand,different faults with similar symptoms cannot be distinguished,especially when the model is not trained by plenty of data.In this work,we proposed a reinforcement learning system for fault detection and diagnosis.No assumption is required.Feature exaction is first made.Then with the features as the states of the environment,the agent directly interacts with the environment.Optimal policy,which determines the exact category,size and location of the fault,is obtained by updating Q values.The method takes advantage of expert knowledge.When the features are unclear,action will be made to get more information from the new state for further determination.We create recurrent neural network with the long short-term memory architecture to approximate Q values.The application on a motor is discussed.The experimental results validate that the proposed method demonstrates a significant improvement compared with existing state-of-the-art methods of fault detection and diagnosis.

Detection and Diagnosis of Gear Fault By the Single Gear Tooth Analysis Technique

This paper presents a procedure of sing le gear tooth analysis for early detection and diagnosis of gear faults. The objec tive of this procedure is to develop a method for more sensitive detection of th e incipient faults and locating the faults in the gear. The main idea of the sin gle gear tooth analysis is that the vibration signals collected with a high samp ling rate are divided into a number of segments with the same time interval. The number of signal segments is equal to that of the gear teeth. The analysis of i ndividual segments reveals more sensitively the changes of the vibration signals in both time and frequency domain caused by gear faults. In addition, the locat ion of a failed tooth can be indicated in terms of the position of the segment t hat deviates from the normal segments. An experimental investigation verified th e advantages of the single gear tooth analysis.

Robust fault detection and diagnosis for uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper considers robust fault detection and diagnosis for input uncertain nonlinear systems. It proposes a multi-objective fault detection criterion so that the fault residual is sensitive to the fault but insensitive to the uncertainty as much as possible. Then the paper solves the proposed criterion by maximizing the smallest singular value of the transformation from faults to fault detection residuals while minimizing the largest singular value of the transformation from input uncertainty to the fault detection residuals. This method is applied to an aircraft which has a fault in the left elevator or rudder. The simulation results show the proposed method can detect the control surface failures rapidly and efficiently.

DETECTION OF CANCER-ASSOCIATED ANTIGEN IN FECES USING MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF COLON CARCINOMA

Monoclonal antibodies against colon and pancreatic cancer, CL-2, CL-3, PS-9, PS-10, were used to detect the associated antigens in feces of patients with gastrointestinal carcinoma and non-cancer diseases. Binding inhibition test by SABC-ELISA method were performed for the measurement of the antigen level. Results showed that the associated antigen detected in feces of patients with colon cancer were significantly higher than that of non-cancer disease or normal subjects. The positive rates were 61.1% as detected with CL-2; 53.4% with CL-3; 55.0%, PS-9; and 53.3% PS-10 in cancer patients while that in normal subjects were 7%; 9%; 8%; and 8% respectively. When 'cocktail' of CL-2, PS-9 and PS-10 were used, the positive rates were 92.5% in colon cancer and 14% in normal subjects. In seven out of the sixty patients with colon cancer studied who were graded as Dukes A, the results were all positive. The results seem superior to the serologic detection and may provide a promising new approach in the early diagnosis of colon cancer.

Intrusion Detection System for PS-Poll DoS Attack in 802.11 Networks Using Real Time Discrete Event System

Wi-Fi devices have limited battery life because of which conserving battery life is imperative. The 802.11 Wi-Fi standard provides power management feature that allows stations(STAs) to enter into sleep state to preserve energy without any frame losses. After the STA wakes up, it sends a null data or PS-Poll frame to retrieve frame(s) buffered by the access point(AP), if any during its sleep period. An attacker can launch a power save denial of service(PS-DoS) attack on the sleeping STA(s) by transmitting a spoofed null data or PS-Poll frame(s) to retrieve the buffered frame(s) of the sleeping STA(s) from the AP causing frame losses for the targeted STA(s). Current approaches to prevent or detect the PS-DoS attack require encryption,change in protocol or installation of proprietary hardware. These solutions suffer from expensive setup, maintenance, scalability and deployment issues. The PS-DoS attack does not differ in semantics or statistics under normal and attack circumstances.So signature and anomaly based intrusion detection system(IDS) are unfit to detect the PS-DoS attack. In this paper we propose a timed IDS based on real time discrete event system(RTDES) for detecting PS-DoS attack. The proposed DES based IDS overcomes the drawbacks of existing systems and detects the PS-DoS attack with high accuracy and detection rate. The correctness of the RTDES based IDS is proved by experimenting all possible attack scenarios.

Actuator fault diagnosis of time-delay systems based on adaptive observer

A novel approach for the actuator fault diagnosis of time-delay systems is presented by using an adaptive observer technique. Systems without model uncertainty are initially considered, followed by a discussion of a general situation where the system is subjected to either model uncertainty or external disturbance. An adaptive diagnostic algorithm is developed to diagnose the fault, and a modified version is proposed for general system to improve robustness. The selection of the threshold for fault detection is also discussed. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Use of artificial intelligence in improving adenoma detection rate during colonoscopy:Might both endoscopists and pathologists be further helped

Colonoscopy remains the standard strategy for screening for colorectal cancer around the world due to its efficacy in both detecting adenomatous or precancerous lesions and the capacity to remove them intra-procedurally.Computeraided detection and diagnosis(CAD),thanks to the brand new developed innovations of artificial intelligence,and especially deep-learning techniques,leads to a promising solution to human biases in performance by guarantying decision support during colonoscopy.The application of CAD on real-time colonoscopy helps increasing the adenoma detection rate,and therefore contributes to reduce the incidence of interval cancers improving the effectiveness of colonoscopy screening on critical outcome such as colorectal cancer related mortality.Furthermore,a significant reduction in costs is also expected.In addition,the assistance of the machine will lead to a reduction of the examination time and therefore an optimization of the endoscopic schedule.The aim of this opinion review is to analyze the clinical applications of CAD and artificial intelligence in colonoscopy,as it is reported in literature,addressing evidence,limitations,and future prospects.

Robust fault diagnosis for linear time-delay systems with uncertainty

This paper deals with the problem of fault diagnosis problem for a class of linear systems with delayed state and uncertainty. The systems are transformed into two different subsystems. One is not affected by actuator faults so that a robust observer can be designed under certain conditions. The other whose states can be measured is affected by the faults. The proposed observer is utilized in an analytical-redundancy-based approach for actuator and sensor fault detection and diagnosis in time-delay systems. Finally, the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through numerical examples.

Rotating machinery fault detection and diagnosis based on deep domain adaptation:A survey

In practical mechanical fault detection and diagnosis,it is difficult and expensive to collect enough large-scale supervised data to train deep networks.Transfer learning can reuse the knowledge obtained from the source task to improve the performance of the target task,which performs well on small data and reduces the demand for high computation power.However,the detection performance is significantly reduced by the direct transfer due to the domain difference.Domain adaptation(DA)can transfer the distribution information from the source domain to the target domain and solve a series of problems caused by the distribution difference of data.In this survey,we review various current DA strategies combined with deep learning(DL)and analyze the principles,advantages,and disadvantages of each method.We also summarize the application of DA combined with DL in the field of fault diagnosis.This paper provides a summary of the research results and proposes future work based on analysis of the key technologies.

Deep learning in fault detection and diagnosis of building HVAC systems: A systematic review with meta analysis

Building sector account for significant global energy consumption and Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems contribute to the highest portion of building energy consumption. Therefore, the potential for energy saving by improving the efficiency of HVAC systems is huge and various fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods have been studied for this purpose. Although amongst all types of existing FDD methods, datadriven based ones are regarded as the most effective methods. As a relatively new branch of data-driven approaches, deep learning (DL) methods have shown promising results, a comprehensive review of DL applications in this area is absent. To fill the research gap, this systematic review with meta analysis analyses the relevant studies both quantitatively and qualitatively. The review is conducted by searching Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Semantic search. There are 47 eligible studies included in this review following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocol. 6 out of the 47 studies are identified as eligible for meta analysis of the effectiveness of DL methods for FDD. The most used DL method is 2D convolutional neural network (CNN). Results suggest that DL methods show promising results as a HVAC FDD. However, most studies use simulation/lab experiment data and real-world complexities are not fully investigated. Therefore, DL methods need to be further tested with real-world scenarios to support decision-making.

Interpretable data-driven fault diagnosis method for data centers with composite air conditioning system

Fault detection and diagnosis are essential to the air conditioning system of the data center for elevating reliability and reducing energy consumption.This study proposed a convolutional neural network(CNN)based data-driven fault detection and diagnosis model considering temporal dependency for composite air conditioning system that is capable of cooling the high heat flux in data centers.The input of fault detection and diagnosis model was an unsteady dataset generated by the experimentally validated transient mathematical model.The dataset concerned three typical faults,including refrigerant leakage,evaporator fan breakdown,and condenser fouling.Then,the CNN model was trained to construct a map between the input and system operating conditions.Further,the performance of the CNN model was validated by comparing it with the support vector machine and the neural network.Finally,the score-weighted class mapping activation method was utilized to interpret model diagnosis mechanisms and to identify key input features in various operating modes.The results demonstrated in the pump-driven heat pipe mode,the accuracy of the CNN model was 99.14%,increasing by around 8.5%compared with the other two methods.In the vapor compression mode,the accuracy of the CNN model achieved 99.9%and declined the miss rate of refrigerant leakage by at least 61%comparatively.The score-weighted class mapping activation results indicated the ambient temperature and the actuator-related parameters,such as compressor frequency in vapor compression mode and condenser fan frequency in pump-driven heat pipe mode,were essential features in system fault detection and diagnosis.

Research on improved integrated FDD/FTC with effectiveness factors

This paper investigates the integrated fault detection and diagnosis（FDD） with fault tolerant control（FTC） method of the control system with recoverable faults.Firstly,a quasi-linear parameter-varying（QLPV） model is set up,in which effectiveness factors are modeled as time-varying parameters to quantify actuators and sensors faults.Based on the certainty equivalency principle,replacing the real time states in the nonlinear term of the QLPV model with the estimated states,the parameters and states can be estimated by a two-stage Kalman filtering algorithm.Then,a polynomial eigenstructure assignment（PEA） controller with time-varying parameters and states is designed to guarantee the performance of the system with recoverable faults.Finally,mathematical simulation is performed to validate the solution in a satellite closed-loop attitude control system,and simulation results show that the solution is fast and effective for on-orbit real-time computation.

NEW METHOD OF EXTRACTING WEAK FAILURE INFORMATION IN GEARBOX BY COMPLEX WAVELET DENOISING

Because the extract of the weak failure information is always the difficulty and focus of fault detection. Aiming for specific statistical properties of complex wavelet coefficients of gearbox vibration signals, a new signal-denoising method which uses local adaptive algorithm based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform （DT-CWT） is introduced to extract weak failure information in gear, especially to extract impulse components. By taking into account the non-Gaussian probability distribution and the statistical dependencies among wavelet coefficients of some signals, and by taking the advantage of near shift-invariance of DT-CWT, the higher signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） than common wavelet denoising methods can be obtained. Experiments of extracting periodic impulses in gearbox vibration signals indicate that the method can extract incipient fault feature and hidden information from heavy noise, and it has an excellent effect on identifying weak feature signals in gearbox vibration signals.

Applied Fault Detection and Diagnosis for Industrial Gas Turbine Systems

The paper presents readily implementable approaches for fault detection and diagnosis （FDD） based on measurements from multiple sensor groups, for industrial systems. Specifically, the use of hierarchical clustering （HC） and self-organizing map neural networks （SOMNNs） are shown to provide robust and user-friendly tools for application to industrial gas turbine （IGT） systems. HC fingerprints are found for normal operation, and FDD is achieved by monitoring cluster changes occurring in the resulting dendrograms. Similarly, fingerprints of operational behaviour are also obtained using SOMNN based classification maps （CMs） that are initially determined during normal operation, and FDD is performed by detecting changes in their CMs. The proposed methods are shown to be capable of FDD from a large group of sensors that measure a variety of physical quantities. A key feature of the paper is the development of techniques to accommodate transient system operation, which can often lead to false-alarms being triggered when using traditional techniques if the monitoring algorithms are not first desensitized. Case studies showing the efficacy of the techniques for detecting sensor faults, bearing tilt pad wear and early stage pre-chamber burnout, are included. The presented techniques are now being applied operationally and monitoring IGTs in various regions of the world.

SPC and Kalman filter-based fault detection and diagnosis for an air-cooled chiller

Buildings worldwide account for nearly 40%of global energy consumption.The biggest energy consumer in buildings is the heating,ventilation and air conditioning(HVAC)systems.In HVAC systems,chillers account for a major portion of the energy consumption.Maintaining chillers in good conditions through early fault detection and diagnosis is thus a critical issue.In this paper,the fault detection and diagnosis for an air-cooled chiller with air coming from outside in variable flow rates is studied.The problem is difficult since the air-cooled chiller is operating under major uncertainties including the cooling load,and the air temperature and flow rate.A potential method to overcome the difficulty caused by the uncertainties is to perform fault detection and diagnosis based on a gray-box model with parameters regarded as constants.The method is developed and verified by us in another paper for a water-cooled chiller with the uncertainty of cooling load.The verification used a Kalman filter to predict parameters of a gray-box model and statistical process control(SPC)for measuring and analyzing their variations for fault detection and diagnosis.The gray-box model in the method,however,requires that the air temperature and flow rate be nearly constant.By introducing two new parameters and deleting data points with low air flow rate,the requirement can be satisfied and the method can then be applicable for an air-cooled chiller.The simulation results show that the method with the revised model and some data points dropped improved the fault detection and diagnosis(FDD)performance greatly.It can detect both sudden and gradual air-cooled chiller capacity degradation and sensor faults as well as their recoveries.

Detecting and diagnosing faults in dynamic stochastic distributions using a rational B-splines approximation to output PDFs

This paper presents a novel approach to detect and diagnose faults in the dynamic part of a class of stochastic systems . the Such a group of systems are subjected to a set of crisp inputs but the outputs considered are the measurable probability density functions (PDFs) of the system output, rather than the system output alone. A new approximation model is developed for the output probability density functions so that the dynamic part of the system is decoupled from the output probability density functions. A nonlinear adaptive observer is constructed to detect and diagnose the fault in the dynamic part of the system. Conver-gency analysis is performed for the error dynamics raised from the fault detection and diagnosis phase and an applicability study on the detection and diagnosis of the unexpected changes in the 2D grammage distributions in a paper forming process is included.
