Combination Method of Principal Component Analysis and Support Vector Machine for On-line Process Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis

On-line monitoring and fault diagnosis of chemical process is extremely important for operation safety and product quality. Principal component analysis (PCA) has been widely used in multivariate statistical process monitoring for its ability to reduce processes dimensions. PCA and other statistical techniques, however, have difficulties in differentiating faults correctly in complex chemical process. Support vector machine (SVM) is a novel approach based on statistical learning theory, which has emerged for feature identification and classification. In this paper, an integrated method is applied for process monitoring and fault diagnosis, which combines PCA for fault feature extraction and multiple SVMs for identification of different fault sources. This approach is verified and illustrated on the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process as a case study. Results show that the proposed PCA-SVMs method has good diagnosis capability and overall diagnosis correctness rate.

A Comparative Study of Bayes Classifiers for Blade Fault Diagnosis in Wind Turbines through Vibration Signals

Renewable energy sources are considered much in energy fields because of thecontemporary energy calamities. Among the important alternatives being considered, windenergy is a durable competitor because of its dependability due to the development of theinnovations, comparative cost effectiveness and great framework. To yield wind energymore proficiently, the structure of wind turbines has turned out to be substantially bigger,creating conservation and renovation works troublesome. Due to various ecologicalconditions, wind turbine blades are subjected to vibration and it leads to failure. If thefailure is not diagnosed early, it will lead to catastrophic damage to the framework. In orderto increase safety observations, to reduce down time, to bring down the recurrence ofunexpected breakdowns and related enormous maintenance, logistic expenditures and tocontribute steady power generation, the wind turbine blade must be monitored now andthen to assure that they are in good condition. In this paper, a three bladed wind turbinewas preferred and using vibration source, the condition of a wind turbine blade is examined.The faults like blade crack, erosion, hub-blade loose connection, pitch angle twist and bladebend faults were considered and these faults are classified using Bayes Net (BN),Discriminative Multinomial Naïve Bayes (DMNB), Naïve Bayes (NB), Simple NaïveBayes (SNB), and Updateable Naïve Bayes (UNB) classifiers. These classifiers arecompared and better classifier is suggested for condition monitoring of wind turbine blades.

Dynamic Vision-Based Machinery Fault Diagnosis With Cross-Modality Feature Alignment

Intelligent machinery fault diagnosis methods have been popularly and successfully developed in the past decades,and the vibration acceleration data collected by contact accelerometers have been widely investigated.In many industrial scenarios,contactless sensors are more preferred.The event camera is an emerging bio-inspired technology for vision sensing,which asynchronously records per-pixel brightness change polarity with high temporal resolution and low latency.It offers a promising tool for contactless machine vibration sensing and fault diagnosis.However,the dynamic vision-based methods suffer from variations of practical factors such as camera position,machine operating condition,etc.Furthermore,as a new sensing technology,the labeled dynamic vision data are limited,which generally cannot cover a wide range of machine fault modes.Aiming at these challenges,a novel dynamic vision-based machinery fault diagnosis method is proposed in this paper.It is motivated to explore the abundant vibration acceleration data for enhancing the dynamic vision-based model performance.A crossmodality feature alignment method is thus proposed with deep adversarial neural networks to achieve fault diagnosis knowledge transfer.An event erasing method is further proposed for improving model robustness against variations.The proposed method can effectively identify unseen fault mode with dynamic vision data.Experiments on two rotating machine monitoring datasets are carried out for validations,and the results suggest the proposed method is promising for generalized contactless machinery fault diagnosis.

Monitoring and diagnosis of complex production process based on free energy of Gaussian–Bernoulli restricted Boltzmann machine

Online monitoring and diagnosis of production processes face great challenges due to the nonlinearity and multivariate of complex industrial processes.Traditional process monitoring methods employ kernel function or multilayer neural networks to solve the nonlinear mapping problem of data.However,the above methods increase the model complexity and are not interpretable,leading to difficulties in subsequent fault recognition/diagnosis/location.A process monitoring and diagnosis method based on the free energy of Gaussian-Bernoulli restricted Boltzmann machine(GBRBM-FE)was proposed.Firstly,a GBRBM network was established to make the probability distribution of the reconstructed data as close as possible to the probability distribution of the raw data.On this basis,the weights and biases in GBRBM network were used to construct F statistics,which represents the free energy of the sample.The smaller the energy of the sample is,the more normal the sample is.Therefore,F statistics can be used to monitor the production process.To diagnose fault variables,the F statistic for each sample was decomposed to obtain the Fv statistic for each variable.By analyzing the deviation degree between the corresponding variables of abnormal samples and normal samples,the cause of process abnormalities can be accurately located.The application of converter steelmaking process demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms the traditional methods,in terms of fault monitoring and diagnosis performance.
