Abstract The application of fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) algorithms in building energy management systems (BEMS) has great potential to increase the efficiency of building energy systems (BES). The usage of supervised learning algorithms requires time series depicting both nominal and component faulty behaviour for their training. In this paper, we introduce a method that automates Modelica code extension of BES models in Python with fault models to approximate real component faults. The application shows two orders of magnitude faster implementation compared to manual modelling, while no errors occur in the connections between fault and component models.

Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) systems enable high cost savings and energy savings that could have economic and environmental impact. This study aims to develop and validate a data-driven FDD system for a chiller. The system uses historical operation data to capture quantitative correlations among system variables. This study evaluated the effectiveness and robustness of eight FDD classification methods based on the experimental data of the chiller (the ASHRAE 1043-RP project). The training data used for the FDD system is classified into four cases. Moreover, true and false positive rates are used to characterize the performance of the classification methods. The results show that local fault is not significantly sensitive to training data, and shows high classification accuracy for all cases. The system fault has a significant effect on the amount of data and the severity levels on the classification accuracy.

Detection And Diagnosis

The malfunctioning of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is considered to be one of the main challenges in modern buildings. Due to the complexity of the building management system (BMS) with operational data input from a large number of sensors used in HVAC system, the faults can be very difficult to detect in the early stage. While numerous fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods with the use of statistical modeling and machine learning have revealed prominent results in recent years, early detection remains a challenging task since many current approaches are unfeasible for diagnosing some HVAC faults and have accuracy performance issues. In view of this, this study presents a novel hybrid FDD approach by combining random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers for the application of FDD for the HVAC system. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed hybrid random forest–support vector machine (HRF–SVM) outperforms other methods with higher prediction accuracy (98%), despite that the fault symptoms were insignificant. Furthermore, the proposed framework can reduce the significant number of sensors required and work well with the small number of faulty training data samples available in real-world applications.
