The development of Fault Detection and Identification (FDI) systems for complex mechatronic systems is a challenging process. Many quantitative and qualitative fault detection methods have been proposed in past literature. Few methods address multiple faults, instead an emphasis is placed on accurately proving a single fault exists. The omission of multiple faults regulates the capability of most fault detection methods. The Functional Failure Identification and Propagation (FFIP) framework has been utilized in past research for various applications related to fault propagation in complex systems. In this paper a Hierarchical Functional Fault Detection and Identification (HFFDI) system is proposed. The development of the HFFDI system is based on machine learning techniques, commonly used as a basis for FDI systems, and the functional system decomposition of the FFIP framework. The HFFDI is composed of a plant-wide FDI system and function-specific FDI systems. The HFFDI aims at fault identification in multiple fault scenarios using single fault data sets, when faults happen in different system functions. The methodology is applied to a case study of a generic nuclear power plant with 17 system functions. Compared with a plant-wide FDI system, in multiple fault scenarios the HFFDI gave better results for identifying one fault and also was able to identify more than one faults. The case study results show that in two fault scenarios the HFFDI was able to identify one of the faults with 79% accuracy and both faults with 13% accuracy. In three fault scenarios the HFFDI was able to identify one of the faults with 69% accuracy, two faults with 22% accuracy and all three faults with 1% accuracy.

Water Pipelines

Pipe faults, such as leakage and blockage, commonly exist in water pipeline systems. It is essential to identify and fix these failures appropriately in order to reduce the risk of water pollution and enhance the security of water supply. Recently, transient-based detection methods have been developed for their advantages of non-intrusion, efficiency and economics compared to traditional methods. However, this method is so far limited mainly to simple pipelines with a single known type of pipe fault in the system. This paper aims to extend the transient-based method to multiple-fault detection in water pipelines. For this purpose, this study introduced an efficient and robust method for transient pressure signal analysis – a combination of the empirical mode decomposition and Hilbert transform – in order to better identify and detect different anomalies (leakage, blockage and junction) in pipelines. To validate the proposed transient-based time-frequency analysis method, laboratory experimental tests were conducted in this study for a simple pipeline system with multiple unknown types of pipe faults including leakages, blockages and junctions. The preliminary test results and analysis indicate that multiple pipe faults in simple pipelines can be efficiently identified and accurately located by the proposed method.

Gas Turbine Combustion

As one of the core components of gas turbines, the combustion system operates in a high-temperature and high-pressure adverse environment, which makes it extremely prone to faults and catastrophic accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the combustion system to detect in a timely way whether its performance has deteriorated, to improve the safety and economy of gas turbine operation. However, the combustor outlet temperature is so high that conventional sensors cannot work in such a harsh environment for a long time. In practical application, temperature thermocouples distributed at the turbine outlet are used to monitor the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) to indirectly monitor the performance of the combustion system, but, the EGT is not only affected by faults but also influenced by many interference factors, such as ambient conditions, operating conditions, rotation and mixing of uneven hot gas, performance degradation of compressor, etc., which will reduce the sensitivity and reliability of fault detection. For this reason, many scholars have devoted themselves to the research of combustion system fault detection and proposed many excellent methods. However, few studies have compared these methods. This paper will introduce the main methods of combustion system fault detection and select current mainstream methods for analysis. And a circumferential temperature distribution model of gas turbine is established to simulate the EGT profile when a fault is coupled with interference factors, then use the simulation data to compare the detection results of selected methods. Besides, the comparison results are verified by the actual operation data of a gas turbine. Finally, through comparative research and mechanism analysis, the study points out a more suitable method for gas turbine combustion system fault detection and proposes possible development directions.

Background: Fast and reliable fault detection methods are the main technical challenges faced by photovoltaic grid-connected systems through modular multilevel converters (MMC) during the development. Objective: Existing fault detection methods have many problems, such as the inability of non-linear elements to form accurate analytical expressions, the difficulty of setting protection thresholds and the long detection time. Method: Aiming at the problems above, this paper proposes a rapid fault detection method for photovoltaic grid-connected systems based on Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Results: The phase-to-mode transformation is used to extract the fault feature quantity to get the RNN input data. The hidden layer unit of the RNN is trained through a large amount of simulation data, and the opening instruction is given to the DC circuit breaker. Conclusion: The simulation verification results show that the proposed fault detection method has the advantage of faster detection speed without difficulties in setting and complicated calculation.
