Abstract To solve the difficulties in practice caused by the subjectivity, relativity and evidence combination focus element explosion during the process of solving the uncertain problems of fault diagnosis with evidence theory, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis inference strategy by integrating rough sets with evidence theory along with the theories of information fusion and mete-synthesis. By using rough sets, redundancy of characteristic data is removed and the unrelated essential characteristics are extracted, the objective way of basic probability assignment is proposed, and an evidence synthetic method is put forward to solve high conflict evidence. The method put forward in this paper can improve the accuracy rate of fault diagnosis with the redundant and complementary information of various faults by synthesizing all evidences with the rule of the composition of evidence theory. Besides, this paper proves the feasibility and validity of experiments and the efficiency in improving fault diagnosis.

Aiming at the problem of the conventional vibration fault diagnosis technology with inconsistent result of a hydroelectric generating unit, an information fusion method was proposed based on the improved evidence theory. In this algorithm, the original evidence was amended by the credibility factor, and then the synthesis rule of standard evidence theory was utilized to carry out information fusion. The results show that the proposed method can obtain any definitive conclusion even if there is high conflict evidence in the synthesis evidence process, and may avoid the divergent phenomenon when the consistent evidence is fused, and is suitable for the fault classification of hydroelectric generating unit.

Aiming at the uncertainty of fault type reasoning based on fault data in transformer fault diagnosis model, this paper proposed a hierarchical diagnosis model based on neighborhood rough set and XGBoost. The model used arctangent transformation to preprocess the DGA data, which could reduce the distribution span of data features and the complexity of model training. Using 5 characteristic gases and 16 gas ratios as the input characteristic parameters of the XGBoost model at all levels, reduction was performed on these 21 input feature attributes, features that had a high contribution to fault classification were retained, and redundant features were removed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of model prediction. Taking advantage of XGBoost's strong ability to extract a few features, the output of the model was the superposition of leaf node scores for each type of fault, the maximum score was the type of failure the sample belonged to, and its value was also the probability value. The obtained probability was used as one of the evidence sources to use D-S evidence theory for information fusion to verify the reliability of the model. Experiments have proved that the XGBoost graded diagnosis model proposed in this article has the highest overall accuracy rate comparing with the traditional model, reaching 93.01%, the accuracy of XGBoost models at all levels has reached more than 90%, the average accuracy rate is higher than that of the traditional model by an average of more than 2.7%, and the average time-consuming is only 0.0695 s. After D-S multi-source information fusion, the reliability of the prediction results of the model proposed in this paper has been improved.

This paper focuses on drilling fault diagnosis with the technology of information fusion based on neural network and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. Neural network is used to process the drilling engineering data monitored from drilling on-site. The primary diagnosis results of drilling faults can be obtained by comparing the outputs of the neural network. And also the outputs of neural network are utilized to construct a basic probability assignment function (mass function) to assign a value of mass function for each type of drilling faults. The final fault diagnosis results will be achieved by using Dempster-Shafer evidence theory on decision level through further reasoning primary diagnosis results of neural network. The proposed method can in time discover the engineering data whether abnormal so that can diagnose and classify them, and will improve the accuracy of the drilling fault diagnosis.

The Dempster–Shafer evidence theory has been widely applied in the field of information fusion. However, when the collected evidence data are highly conflicting, the Dempster combination rule (DCR) fails to produce intuitive results most of the time. In order to solve this problem, the base belief function is proposed to modify the basic probability assignment (BPA) in the exhaustive frame of discernment (FOD). However, in the non-exhaustive FOD, the mass function value of the empty set is nonzero, which makes the base belief function no longer applicable. In this paper, considering the influence of the size of the FOD and the mass function value of the empty set, a new belief function named the extended base belief function (EBBF) is proposed. This method can modify the BPA in the non-exhaustive FOD and obtain intuitive fusion results by taking into account the characteristics of the non-exhaustive FOD. In addition, the EBBF can degenerate into the base belief function in the exhaustive FOD. At the same time, by calculating the belief entropy of the modified BPA, we find that the value of belief entropy is higher than before. Belief entropy is used to measure the uncertainty of information, which can show the conflict more intuitively. The increase of the value of entropy belief is the consequence of conflict. This paper also designs an improved conflict data management method based on the EBBF to verify the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Due to the complexity of the structure and process of large-scale petrochemical equipment, different fault characteristics are mixed and present multiple couplings and ambiguities, leading to the difficulty in identifying composite faults in rotating machinery. This paper proposes a composite faults diagnosis method for rotating machinery of the large unit based on evidence theory and multi-information fusion. The evidence theory and multi-information fusion method mainly deal with multisource information and conflict information, synthesize multiple uncertain information, and obtain synthetic information from multiple data sources. To detect faults in rotating machinery, the dimensionless index ranges of composite faults are first used to form a feature set as the reference. Then, a two-sample distribution test is applied to compare the known fault samples with the tested fault samples, and the maximum statistical distance is used. Finally, the multiple maximum statistical distances are fused by evidence theory and identifying fault types based on the fusion result. The proposed method was applied to the large petrochemical unit simulation experiment system, the results of which showed that our proposed method could accurately identify composite faults and provide maintenance guidance for composite fault diagnosis.
