Aiming at the lack of reliable gradual fault detection and abnormal condition alarm and evaluation ability in the plasticizing process of single-base gun propellant, a fault detection and diagnosis method based on normalized mutual information weighted multiway principal component analysis (NMI-WMPCA) under limited batch samples modelling was proposed. In this method, the differences of coupling correlation among multi-dimensional process variables and the coupling characteristics of linear and nonlinear relationships in the process are considered. NMI-WMPCA utilizes the generalization ability of a multi-model to establish an accurate fault detection model in limited batch samples, and adopts fault diagnosis methods based on a multi-model SPE statistic contribution plot to identify the fault source. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective, which can realize the rapid detection and diagnosis of multiple faults in the plasticizing process.

Multiple fault detection and diagnosis is a challenging problem because the number of candidates grows exponentially in the number of faults. In addition, multiple faults in dynamic systems may be hard to detect, because they can mask or compensate each other’s effects. This paper presents the study of the detection and diagnosis of multiple faults in a SR-30 Gas Turbine using nonlinear principal component analysis as the detection method and structured residuals as the diagnosis method. The study includes developing a mathematical model, software simulation with Matlab Simulink and implementation of algorithms for detection and diagnosis of multiple faults in the system using nonlinear principal component analysis and structured residuals. A real SR-30 gas turbine was used for our studies. The equipment is at the moment installed in the Inter American University of Puerto Rico, Bayamon Campus, and Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Faults, i.e., malfunctioned sensors, components, control, and systems, in a building have significantly adverse impacts on the building’s energy consumption and indoor environment. To date, extensive research has been conducted on the development of component level fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) for building systems, especially the Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. However, for faults that have multi-system impacts, component level FDD tools may encounter high false alarm rate due to the fact that HVAC subsystems are often tightly coupled together. Hence, the detection and diagnosis of whole building faults is the focus of this study. Here, a whole building fault refers to a fault that occurs in one subsystem but triggers abnormalities in other subsystems and have significant adverse whole building energy impact. The wide adoption of building automation systems (BAS) and the development of machine learning techniques make it possible and cost-efficient to detect and diagnose whole building faults using data-driven methods. In this study, a whole building FDD strategy which adopts weather and schedule information based pattern matching (WPM) method and feature based Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) for fault detection, as well as Bayesian Networks (BNs) based method for fault diagnosis is developed. Fault tests are implemented in a real campus building. The collected data are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed whole building FDD strategies.

The Fault detection and diagnosis for sensors are important for the performance of the complex control system seriously. The kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) effectively captures the nonlinear relationship of the process variables, which computes principal component in high-dimensional feature space by means of integral operators and nonlinear kernel functions. The KPCA method is used in diagnosing for four common sensor faults. At first its fault is detected by Q statistic; secondly its fault is identified by T2 contribution percent change. The simulation and the practical result show the KPCA method has good performance on complex control system in sensor fault detection and diagnosis.
