Anomaly detection in sensor time series is a crucial aspect for raw data cleaning in gas turbine (GT) industry. In addition to efficiency, a successful methodology for industrial applications should be also characterized by ease of implementation and operation. To this purpose, a comprehensive and straightforward approach for detection, classification, and integrated diagnostics of gas turbine sensors (named DCIDS) is proposed in this paper. The tool consists of two main algorithms, i.e., the anomaly detection algorithm (ADA) and the anomaly classification algorithm (ACA). The ADA identifies anomalies according to three different levels of filtering based on gross physics threshold application, intersensor statistical analysis (sensor voting), and single-sensor statistical analysis. Anomalies in the time series are identified by the ADA, together with their characteristics, which are analyzed by the ACA to perform their classification. Fault classes discriminate among anomalies according to their time correlation, magnitude, and number of sensors in which an anomaly is contemporarily identified. Results of anomaly identification and classification can subsequently be used for sensor diagnostic purposes. The performance of the tool is assessed in this paper by analyzing two temperature time series with redundant sensors taken on a Siemens GT in operation. The results show that the DCIDS is able to identify and classify different types of anomalies. In particular, in the first dataset, two severely incoherent sensors are identified and their anomalies are correctly classified. In the second dataset, the DCIDS tool proves to be capable of identifying and classifying clustered spikes of different magnitudes.

Anomaly detection and classification is a key challenge for gas turbine monitoring and diagnostics. To this purpose, a comprehensive approach for Detection, Classification and Integrated Diagnostics of Gas Turbine Sensors (named DCIDS) was developed by the authors in previous papers. The methodology consists of an Anomaly Detection Algorithm (ADA) and an Anomaly Classification Algorithm (ACA). The ADA identifies anomalies according to three different levels of filtering. Anomalies are subsequently analyzed by the ACA to perform their classification, according to time correlation, magnitude and number of sensors in which an anomaly is contemporarily identified. The performance of the DCIDS approach is assessed in this paper based on a significant amount of field data taken on several Siemens gas turbines in operation. The field data refer to six different physical quantities, i.e. vibration, pressure, temperature, VGV position, lube oil tank level and rotational speed. The analyses carried out in this paper allow the detection and classification of the anomalies and provide some rules of thumb for field operation, with the final aim of identifying time occurrence and magnitude of faulty sensors and measurements.

Pattern recognition technology is applied to bridge health monitoring to solve abnormalities in bridge health monitoring data. Testing is of great significance. For abnormal data detection, this paper proposes a single variable pattern anomaly detection method based on KNN distance and a multivariate time series anomaly detection method based on the covariance matrix and singular value decomposition. This method first performs compression and segmentation on the original data sequence based on important points to obtain multiple time subsequences, then calculates the pattern distance between each time subsequence according to the similarity measure of the time series, and finally selects the abnormal mode according to the KNN method. In this paper, the reliability of the method is verified through experiments. The experimental results in this paper show that the 5/7/9 / 11-nearest neighbors point to a specific number of nodes. Combined with the original time series diagram corresponding to the time zone view, in this paragraph in the time, the value of the temperature sensor No. 6 stays at 32.5 degrees Celsius for up to one month. The detection algorithm controls the number of MTS subsequences through sliding windows and sliding intervals. The execution time is not large, and the value of K is different. Although the calculated results are different, most of the most obvious abnormal sequences can be detected. The results of this paper provide a certain reference value for the study of abnormal detection of bridge health monitoring data.

Anomaly detection is an important research direction, which takes the real-time information system from different sensors and conditional information sources into consideration. Based on this, we can detect possible anomalies expected of the devices and components. One of the challenges is anomaly detection in multivariate-sensing time-series in this paper. Based on this situation, we propose RADM, a real-time anomaly detection algorithm based on Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) and Bayesian Network (BN). First of all, we use HTM model to evaluate the real-time anomalies of each univariate-sensing time-series. Secondly, a model of anomalous state detection in multivariate-sensing time-series based on Naive Bayesian is designed to analyze the validity of the above time-series. Lastly, considering the real-time monitoring cases of the system states of terminal nodes in Cloud Platform, the effectiveness of the methodology is demonstrated using a simulated example. Extensive simulation results show that using RADM in multivariate-sensing time-series is able to detect more abnormal, and thus can remarkably improve the performance of real-time anomaly detection.
