While there are many data-driven diagnosis algorithms for fault isolation of complex systems, a new challenge arises in the case of multiple operating regimes. In this case, the diagnosis is usually carried out for each regime for better accuracy. However, the problem is that different results can be derived from each regime and they can conflict with each other, which may invalidate the performance of fault diagnosis. To address this challenge, a methodology for selecting the most reliable one among the different diagnostic results is proposed, which combines the Bayesian network (BN) and the information value (IV). The BN is trained for each regime and a conditional probability table is obtained for probabilistic fault diagnosis. The IV is then employed to evaluate the value of several diagnostic results. The proposed approach is applied to the fault diagnosis of a train door system and its effectiveness is proven.

Aiming at the incompleteness and uncertainty of information existing in power system fault diagnosis, a new fault diagnosis approach based on Bayesian network is proposed in this paper. Through the Bayesian network of structure learning and parameter learning, a power system fault diagnosis model based on Bayesian network has been proposed. Conditional probability table describes the connection degree between various factors in quantity. Diagnostic results of instance proved the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Fault diagnosis of wind turbine systems is a challenging process, especially for offshore plants, and the search for solutions motivates the research discussed in this paper. In fact, these systems must have a high degree of reliability and availability to remain functional in specified operating conditions without needing expensive maintenance works. Especially for offshore plants, a clear conflict exists between ensuring a high degree of availability and reducing costly maintenance. Therefore, this paper presents viable fault detection and isolation techniques applied to a wind turbine system. The design of the so-called fault indicator relies on an estimate of the fault using data-driven methods and effective tools for managing partial knowledge of system dynamics, as well as noise and disturbance effects. In particular, the suggested data-driven strategies exploit fuzzy systems and neural networks that are used to determine nonlinear links between measurements and faults. The selected architectures are based on nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input prototypes, which approximate dynamic relations with arbitrary accuracy. The designed fault diagnosis schemes were verified and validated using a high-fidelity simulator that describes the normal and faulty behavior of a realistic offshore wind turbine plant. Finally, by accounting for the uncertainty and disturbance in the wind turbine simulator, a hardware-in-the-loop test rig was used to assess the proposed methods for robustness and reliability. These aspects are fundamental when the developed fault diagnosis methods are applied to real offshore wind turbines.

Recent catastrophic events in aviation have shown that current fault diagnosis schemes may not be enough to ensure a reliable and prompt sensor fault diagnosis. This paper describes a comparative analysis of consolidated data-driven sensor Fault Isolation (FI) and Fault Estimation (FE) techniques using flight data. Linear regression models, identified from data, are derived to build primary and transformed residuals. These residuals are then implemented to develop fault isolation schemes for 14 sensors of a semi-autonomous aircraft. Specifically, directional Mahalanobis distance-based and fault reconstruction-based techniques are compared in terms of their FI and FE performance. Then, a bank of Bayesian filters is proposed to compute, in flight, the fault belief for each sensor. Both the training and the validation of the schemes are performed using data from multiple flights. Artificial faults are injected into the fault-free sensor measurements to reproduce the occurrence of failures. A detailed evaluation of the techniques in terms of FI and FE performance is presented for failures on the air-data sensors, with special emphasis on the True Air Speed (TAS), Angle of Attack (AoA), and Angle of Sideslip (AoS) sensors.

A satellite can only complete its mission successfully when all its subsystems, including the attitude control subsystem, are in healthy condition and work properly. Control moment gyroscope is a type of actuator used in the attitude control subsystems of satellites. Any fault in the control moment gyroscope can cause the satellite mission failure if it is not detected, isolated, and resolved in time. Fault diagnosis provides an opportunity to detect and isolate the occurring faults and, if accompanied by proactive remedial actions, it can avoid failure and improve the satellite reliability. In this paper, an enhanced data-driven fault diagnosis is introduced for fault isolation of multiple in-phase faults of satellite control moment gyroscopes that has not been addressed in the literature before with high accuracy. The proposed method is based on an optimized support vector machine, and the results yield fault predictions with up to 95.6% accuracy. In addition, a sensitivity analysis with regard to noise, missing values, and missing sensors is done. The results show that the proposed model is robust enough to be used in real applications.
