This paper addresses the issue of reliability in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in case of missing sensors measurements due to network or hardware problems. We propose to support the fault detection and classification modules, which are the two critical components of a monitoring system for IIoT, with a generative model. The latter is responsible of imputing missing sensor measurements so that the monitoring system performance is robust to missing data. In particular, we adopt Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate missing sensor measurements and we propose to fine-tune the training of the GAN based on the impact that the generated data have on the fault detection and classification modules. We conduct a thorough evaluation of the proposed approach using the extended Tennessee Eastman Process dataset. Results show that the GAN-imputed data mitigate the impact on the fault detection and classification even in the case of persistently missing measurements from sensors that are critical for the correct functioning of the monitoring system.

Fault Detection And Classification

Photovoltaic (PV) energy use has been increasing recently, mainly due to new policies all over the world to reduce the application of fossil fuels. PV system efficiency is highly dependent on environmental variables, besides being affected by several kinds of faults, which can lead to a severe energy loss throughout the operation of the system. In this sense, we present a Monitoring System (MS) to measure the electrical and environmental variables to produce instantaneous and historical data, allowing to estimate parameters that ar related to the plant efficiency. Additionally, using the same MS, we propose a recursive linear model to detect faults in the system, while using irradiance and temperature on the PV panel as input signals and power as output. The accuracy of the fault detection for a 5 kW power plant used in the test is 93.09%, considering 16 days and around 143 hours of faults in different conditions. Once a fault is detected by this model, a machine-learning-based method classifies each fault in the following cases: short-circuit, open-circuit, partial shadowing, and degradation. Using the same days and faults applied in the detection module, the accuracy of the classification stage is 95.44% for an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. By combining detection and classification, the overall accuracy is 92.64%. Such a result represents an original contribution of this work, since other related works do not present the integration of a fault detection and classification approach with an embedded PV plant monitoring system, allowing for the online identification and classification of different PV faults, besides real-time and historical monitoring of electrical and environmental parameters of the plant.

The fault detection of manned submersibles plays a very important role in protecting the safety of submersible equipment and personnel. However, the diving sensor data is scarce and high-dimensional, so this paper proposes a submersible fault detection method, which is made up of feature selection module based on hierarchical clustering and Autoencoder (AE), the improved Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN)-based data augmentation module and fault detection module using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with LeNet-5 structure. First, feature selection is developed to select the features that have a strong correlation with failure event. Second, data augmentation model is conducted to generate sufficient data for training the CNN model, including rough data generation and data refiners. Finally, a fault detection framework with LeNet-5 is trained and fine-tuned by synthetic data, and tested using real data. Experiment results based on sensor data from submersible hydraulic system demonstrate that our proposed method can successfully detect the fault samples. The detection accuracy of proposed method can reach 97% and our method significantly outperforms other classic detection algorithms.

The Impact

The control charts with the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) approach and its extension are among the data-driven methods for process monitoring and the detection of faults. Industrial processing data involves complexities such as high dimensionality, auto-correlation, and non-stationary which may occur simultaneously. An efficient fault detection technique is an approach that is robust against data training, sensitive to all the feasible faults of the process, and agile to the detection of the faults. To date, approaches such as the recursive PCA (RPCA) model and the moving-window PCA (MWPCA) model have been proposed when data is high-dimensional and non-stationary or dynamic PCA (DPCA) model and its extension have been suggested for autocorrelation data. But, using the techniques listed without considering all aspects of the process data increases fault detection indicators such as false alarm rate (FAR), delay time detection (DTD), and confuses the operator or causes adverse consequences. A new PCA monitoring method is proposed in this study, which can simultaneously reduce the impact of high-dimensionality, non-stationary, and autocorrelation properties. This technique utilizes DPCA property to decrease the effect of autocorrelation and adaptive behavior of MWPCA to control non-stationary characteristics. The proposed approach has been tested on the Tennessee Eastman Process (TEP). The findings suggest that the proposed approach is capable of detecting various forms of faults and comparing attempts to improve the detection of fault indicators with other approaches. The empirical application of the proposed approach has been implemented on a turbine exit temperature (TET). The results demonstrate that the proposed approach has detected a real fault successfully.

The Impact

The growing demand for extensive and reliable structural health monitoring resulted in the development of advanced optical sensing systems (OSS) that in conjunction with wireless optical networks (WON) are capable of extending the reach of optical sensing to places where fibre provision is not feasible. To support this effort, the paper proposes a new type of a variable weight code called multiweight zero cross-correlation (MW-ZCC) code for its application in wireless optical networks based optical code division multiple access (WON-OCDMA). The code provides improved quality of service (QoS) and better support for simultaneous transmission of video surveillance, comms and sensor data by reducing the impact of multiple access interference (MAI). The MW-ZCC code’s power of two code-weight properties provide enhanced support for the needed service differentiation provisioning. The performance of this novel code has been studied by simulations. This investigation revealed that for a minimum allowable bit error rate of 10−3, 10−9 and 10−12 when supporting triple-play services (sensing, datacomms and video surveillance, respectively), the proposed WON-OCDMA using MW-ZCC codes could support up to 32 simultaneous services over transmission distances up to 32 km in the presence of moderate atmospheric turbulence.
