This paper develops a partitioning principal component analysis(PPCA) method for process monitoring. A variable reasoning strategy is proposed and applied to recognize multiple fault variables. Compared with traditional process monitoring methods, the PPCA strategy not only reflects the local behavior of process variation in each model(each direction of principal components),but also improves the monitoring performance through the combination of local monitoring results. Then, a variable reasoning strategy is introduced to locate fault variables. Unlike the contribution plot, this method locates normal and fault variables effectively, and gives initiatory judgment for ambiguous variables. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed process monitoring and fault variable identification schemes is verified through a numerical example and TE chemical process.展开更多

Fuzzy Reasoning Spiking neural P systems (FRSN P systems) as a membrane computing with distributed parallel computing model is powerful and suitable graphical approach model in fuzzy diagnosis knowledge. In a sense this feature is required for establishing the power transformers faults identifications and capturing knowledge implicitly during the learning stage, using linguistic variables, membership functions with “low”, “medium”, and “high” descriptions for each gas signature, and inference rule base. Membership functions are used to translate judgments into numerical expression by fuzzy numbers. The performance method is analyzed in terms for four gas ratio (IEC 60599) signature as input data of FRSN P systems. Test case results evaluate that the proposals method for power transformer fault diagnosis can significantly improve the diagnosis accuracy power transformer.展开更多

The process of the CBR fault diagnosis is analyzed from three main aspects: expression and memory, retrieving and matching, and modification and maintenance of a case. The results indicate that the CBR method is flexible and simple to implement, and it has strong self-studying ability. Using a large enough number of case reasoning sets, it can accumulate the experience of problem solving, avoid the difficulty of knowledge acquisition, shorten the course of solving problems, improve efficiency of reasoning, and save the time of developing.展开更多

Now, only certainty reasoning theories are used to detect and diagnose satellite faults. However, in practice, it is difficult to detect and diagnose some faults of the satellite automatically only by use of certainty reasoning theories. The reason is that detection and diagnosis of these faults require a rational reasoning and a fault tolerant capability. Fortunately, uncertainty reasoning theories can meet these requirements. It is attracting attention of many experts in the space field all over the world that uncertainty reasoning theories are applied to detect and diagnose satellite faults. Uncertainty reasoning theories include several kinds of theories, such as inclusion degree theory, rough set theory, evidence reasoning theory, probabilistic reasoning theory, fuzzy reasoning theory, and so on. Inclusion degree theory, rough set theory and evidence reasoning theory are three advanced ones. Based on these three theories respectively, the author introduces three new methods to detect and diagnose satellite faults in this paper. It is shown that the methods, suitable for detecting and diagnosing satellite faults, especially uncertainty faults, can remedy the defects of the current methods.展开更多

For the control system, some fault models are derived by kinematics analysis. Moreover, the logic relations of the system states are known in advance. First, a fault tree is used to analyze the system by evaluating the basic events (elementary causes), which can lead to a root event (a particular fault). Then, a multiple-model adaptive estimation algorithm is used to detect and identify the model-known faults. Finally, based on the system states of the robot and the results of the estimation, the model-unknown faults are also identified using logical reasoning. Experiments show that the proposed approach based on the combination of logical reasoning and model estimating is efficient in the FDI of the robot.展开更多
