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.

Efficient optical network management poses significant importance in backhaul and access network communicationfor preventing service disruptions and ensuring Quality of Service(QoS)satisfaction.The emerging faultsin optical networks introduce challenges that can jeopardize the network with a variety of faults.The existingliterature witnessed various partial or inadequate solutions.On the other hand,Machine Learning(ML)hasrevolutionized as a promising technique for fault detection and prevention.Unlike traditional fault managementsystems,this research has three-fold contributions.First,this research leverages the ML and Deep Learning(DL)multi-classification system and evaluates their accuracy in detecting six distinct fault types,including fiber cut,fibereavesdropping,splicing,bad connector,bending,and PC connector.Secondly,this paper assesses the classificationdelay of each classification algorithm.Finally,this work proposes a fiber optics fault prevention algorithm thatdetermines to mitigate the faults accordingly.This work utilized a publicly available fiber optics dataset namedOTDR_Data and applied different ML classifiers,such as Gaussian Naive Bayes(GNB),Logistic Regression(LR),Support Vector Machine(SVM),K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN),Random Forest(RF),and Decision Tree(DT).Moreover,Ensemble Learning(EL)techniques are applied to evaluate the accuracy of various classifiers.In addition,this work evaluated the performance of DL-based Convolutional Neural Network and Long-Short Term Memory(CNN-LSTM)hybrid classifier.The findings reveal that the CNN-LSTM hybrid technique achieved the highestaccuracy of 99%with a delay of 360 s.On the other hand,EL techniques improved the accuracy in detecting fiberoptic faults.Thus,this research comprehensively assesses accuracy and delay metrics for various classifiers andproposes the most efficient attack detection system in fiber optics.

Detection of Bearing Faults Using a Novel Adaptive Morphological Update Lifting Wavelet

The current morphological wavelet technologies utilize a fixed filter or a linear decomposition algorithm, which cannot cope with the sudden changes, such as impulses or edges in a signal effectively. This paper pre- sents a novel signal processing scheme, adaptive morpho- logical update lifting wavelet （AMULW）, for rolling element bearing fault detection. In contrast with the widely used morphological wavelet, the filters in AMULW are no longer fixed. Instead, the AMULW adaptively uses a morphological dilation-erosion filter or an average filter as the update lifting filter to modify the approximation signal. Moreover, the nonlinear morphological filter is utilized to substitute the traditional linear filter in AMULW. The effectiveness of the proposed AMULW is evaluated using a simulated vibration signal and experimental vibration sig- nals collected from a bearing test rig. Results show that the proposed method has a superior performance in extracting fault features of defective roiling element bearings.

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 New Method for the Detections of Multiple Faults Using Binary Decision Diagrams

With the complexity of integrated circuits is continually increasing, a local defect in circuits may cause multiple faults. The behavior of a digital circuit with a multiple fault may significantly differ from that of a single fault. A new method for the detection of multiple faults in digital circuits is presented in this paper, the method is based on binary decision diagram （BDD）. First of all, the BDDs for the normal circuit and faulty circuit are built respectively. Secondly, a test BDD is obtained by the XOR operation of the BDDs corresponds to normal circuit and faulty circuit. In the test BDD, each input assignment that leads to the leaf node labeled 1 is a test vector of multiple faults. Therefore, the test set of multiple faults is generated by searching for the type of input assignments in the test BDD. Experimental results on some digital circuits show the feasibility of the approach presented in this paper.

Coordinated Rotor-Side Control Strategy for Doubly-FedWind Turbine under Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Grid Faults

In order to solve the problems of rotor overvoltage,overcurrent and DC side voltage rise caused by grid voltage drops,a coordinated control strategy based on symmetrical and asymmetrical low voltage ride through of rotor side converter of the doubly-fed generator is proposed.When the power grid voltage drops symmetrically,the generator approximate equation under steady-state conditions is no longer applicable.Considering the dynamic process of stator current excitation,according to the change of stator flux and the depth of voltage drop,the system can dynamically provide reactive power support for parallel nodes and suppress the rise of DC side voltage and rotor over-current.When the grid voltage drops asymmetrically,the positive and negative sequence components are separated in the rotating coordinate system.The doubly fed generator model is established to suppress the rotor positive sequence current and negative sequence current respectively.At the same time,the output voltage limit of the converter is discussed,and the reference value is adjusted within the allowable output voltage range.In order to adapt to the occurrence of different types of power grid faults and complex operating conditions,a fast switching module of fault type detection and rotor control mode is designed to detect the type of power grid faults and voltage drop depth in real time and switch the rotor side control mode dynamically.Finally,the simulation model of the doubly fed wind turbine is constructed in Matlab/Simulink.The simulation results verify that the proposed control strategy can improve the low-voltage ride through performance of the system when dealing with the symmetrical and asymmetric voltage drop of the power grid and identify the power grid fault type and provide the correct control strategy.

A Practical Approach to Detect Faults of Marine Diesel Engine

The existing marine diesel engine fault diagnosis methods mainly have the problems of model complexity, large amount of calculation, and unable to carry out real-time fault diagnosis of diesel engine. In this paper, a simple and practical approach to detect faults of marine diesel engine is studied. According to a set of sensing data, the fitting equation of each parameter changing with the running state of diesel engine was fitted statistically. Then, the threshold range of each parameter changing with the running state of diesel engine was fitted. During fault diagnosis, the real-time parameters of the sensor in the current running state were calculated according to the real-time running data. If the parameters exceed the threshold range, it is abnormal operation. Because the sensor signal corresponds to the operation status of each specific component, the abnormal evaluation directly indicates the specific fault. Experimental results show that the method has a good practical effect.

Optimizing Bearing Fault Detection:CNN-LSTM with Attentive TabNet for Electric Motor Systems

Electric motor-driven systems are core components across industries,yet they’re susceptible to bearing faults.Manual fault diagnosis poses safety risks and economic instability,necessitating an automated approach.This study proposes FTCNNLSTM(Fine-Tuned TabNet Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory),an algorithm combining Convolutional Neural Networks,Long Short-Term Memory Networks,and Attentive Interpretable Tabular Learning.The model preprocesses the CWRU(Case Western Reserve University)bearing dataset using segmentation,normalization,feature scaling,and label encoding.Its architecture comprises multiple 1D Convolutional layers,batch normalization,max-pooling,and LSTM blocks with dropout,followed by batch normalization,dense layers,and appropriate activation and loss functions.Fine-tuning techniques prevent over-fitting.Evaluations were conducted on 10 fault classes from the CWRU dataset.FTCNNLSTM was benchmarked against four approaches:CNN,LSTM,CNN-LSTM with random forest,and CNN-LSTM with gradient boosting,all using 460 instances.The FTCNNLSTM model,augmented with TabNet,achieved 96%accuracy,outperforming other methods.This establishes it as a reliable and effective approach for automating bearing fault detection in electric motor-driven systems.

Evolutionary Variational YOLOv8 Network for Fault Detection in Wind Turbines

Deep learning has emerged in many practical applications,such as image classification,fault diagnosis,and object detection.More recently,convolutional neural networks(CNNs),representative models of deep learning,have been used to solve fault detection.However,the current design of CNNs for fault detection of wind turbine blades is highly dependent on domain knowledge and requires a large amount of trial and error.For this reason,an evolutionary YOLOv8 network has been developed to automatically find the network architecture for wind turbine blade-based fault detection.YOLOv8 is a CNN-backed object detection model.Specifically,to reduce the parameter count,we first design an improved FasterNet module based on the Partial Convolution(PConv)operator.Then,to enhance convergence performance,we improve the loss function based on the efficient complete intersection over the union.Based on this,a flexible variable-length encoding is proposed,and the corresponding reproduction operators are designed.Related experimental results confirmthat the proposed approach can achieve better fault detection results and improve by 2.6%in mean precision at 50(mAP50)compared to the existing methods.Additionally,compared to training with the YOLOv8n model,the YOLOBFE model reduces the training parameters by 933,937 and decreases the GFLOPS(Giga Floating Point Operations Per Second)by 1.1.

A process monitoring method for autoregressive-dynamic inner total latent structure projection

As a dynamic projection to latent structures(PLS)method with a good output prediction ability,dynamic inner PLS(DiPLS)is widely used in the prediction of key performance indi-cators.However,due to the oblique decomposition of the input space by DiPLS,there are false alarms in the actual industrial process during fault detection.To address the above problems,a dynamic modeling method based on autoregressive-dynamic inner total PLS(AR-DiTPLS)is proposed.The method first uses the regression relation matrix to decompose the input space orthogonally,which reduces useless information for the predic-tion output in the quality-related dynamic subspace.Then,a vector autoregressive model(VAR)is constructed for the predic-tion score to separate dynamic information and static informa-tion.Based on the VAR model,appropriate statistical indicators are further constructed for online monitoring,which reduces the occurrence of false alarms.The effectiveness of the method is verified by a Tennessee-Eastman industrial simulation process and a three-phase flow system.

A Double Sensitive Fault Detection Filter for Positive Markovian Jump Systems With A Hybrid Event-Triggered Mechanism

This paper is concerned with the double sensitive fault detection filter for positive Markovian jump systems. A new hybrid adaptive event-triggered mechanism is proposed by introducing a non-monotonic adaptive law. A linear adaptive event-triggered threshold is established by virtue of 1-norm inequality.Under such a triggering strategy, the original system can be transformed into an interval uncertain system. By using a stochastic copositive Lyapunov function, an asynchronous fault detection filter is designed for positive Markovian jump systems(PMJSs) in terms of linear programming. The presented filter satisfies both L_-gain(?_-gain) fault sensitivity and L_1(?_1)internal differential privacy sensitivity. The proposed approach is also extended to the discrete-time case. Finally, two examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.

A Fault Detection Method for Electric Vehicle Battery System Based on Bayesian Optimization SVDD Considering a Few Faulty Samples

Accurate and reliable fault detection is essential for the safe operation of electric vehicles.Support vector data description(SVDD)has been widely used in the field of fault detection.However,constructing the hypersphere boundary only describes the distribution of unlabeled samples,while the distribution of faulty samples cannot be effectively described and easilymisses detecting faulty data due to the imbalance of sample distribution.Meanwhile,selecting parameters is critical to the detection performance,and empirical parameterization is generally timeconsuming and laborious and may not result in finding the optimal parameters.Therefore,this paper proposes a semi-supervised data-driven method based on which the SVDD algorithm is improved and achieves excellent fault detection performance.By incorporating faulty samples into the underlying SVDD model,training deals better with the problem of missing detection of faulty samples caused by the imbalance in the distribution of abnormal samples,and the hypersphere boundary ismodified to classify the samplesmore accurately.The Bayesian Optimization NSVDD(BO-NSVDD)model was constructed to quickly and accurately optimize hyperparameter combinations.In the experiments,electric vehicle operation data with four common fault types are used to evaluate the performance with other five models,and the results show that the BO-NSVDD model presents superior detection performance for each type of fault data,especially in the imperceptible early and minor faults,which has seen very obvious advantages.Finally,the strong robustness of the proposed method is verified by adding different intensities of noise in the dataset.
