Traditional sensor fault diagnosis is mainly based on statistical classification methods. The discriminant functions in these methods are extremely complex, and typical samples of reference modes are not easy to get, therefore it is difficult to meet the actual requirements of a project. In view of the deficiencies of conventional sensor fault diagnosis technologies, a fault diagnosis method based on self-organizing feature map (SOFM) neural network is presented in this paper. And it is applied to the fault diagnosis of pipeline flow sensor in a dynamic system. The simulation results show that the fault diagnosis method based on SOFM neural network has a fast speed, high accuracy and strong generalization ability, which verifies the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method.

With the rapid development of unmanned surfaces and underwater vehicles, fault diagnoses for underwater thrusters are important to prevent sudden damage, which can cause huge losses. The propeller causes the most common type of thruster damage. Thus, it is important to monitor the propeller’s health reliably. This study proposes a fault diagnosis method for underwater thruster propellers. A deep convolutional neural network was proposed to monitor propeller conditions. A Hall element and hydrophone were used to obtain the current signal from the thruster and the sound signal in water, respectively. These raw data were fast Fourier transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain and used as the input to the neural network. The output of the neural network indicated the propeller’s health conditions. This study demonstrated the results of a single signal and the fusion of multiple signals in a neural network. The results showed that the multi-signal input had a higher accuracy than the one-signal input. With multi-signal inputs, training two types of signals with a separated neural network and then merging them at the end yielded the best results (99.88%), as compared to training two types of signals with a single neural network.

In order to more effectively solve some difficult problems in gearbox failure diagnosis, a gearbox fault diagnosis method based on Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) is proposed. RVM is developed in Bayesian framework. It does not need to estimate the regularization parameter with less relevance vectors, and its kernel function does not need to satisfy Mercer condition. Simulation results show that: compared with the traditional BP neural network, RVM has the faster modeling speed, more accurate diagnosis, and is worthy of promotion and application in fault diagnosis of the gearbox.

Abstract Due to the development of smaller and denser manufacturing processes most of the hardware localization techniques cannot keep up satisfactorily with the technology trend. There is an increased need in precise and accurate software based diagnosis tools to help identify the fault location. This paper describes the software based fault diagnosis method used within Philips, focusing on the features developed to increase its accuracy.

Clean energy is now developing rapidly, especially in the United States, China, the Britain and the European Union. To ensure the stability of power production and consumption, and to give higher priority to clean energy, it is essential for large power plants to implement peak shaving operation, which means that even the 1000 MW steam turbines in large plants will undertake peak shaving tasks for a long period of time. However, with the peak load regulation, the steam turbines operating in low capacity may be much more likely to cause faults. In this paper, aiming at peak load shaving, a fault diagnosis method of steam turbine vibration has been presented. The major models, namely hierarchy-KNN model on the basis of improved principal component analysis (Improved PCA-HKNN) has been discussed in detail. Additionally, a new fault diagnosis method has been proposed. By applying the PCA improved by information entropy, the vibration and thermal original data are decomposed and classified into a finite number of characteristic parameters and factor matrices. For the peak shaving power plants, the peak load shaving state involving their methods of operation and results of vibration would be elaborated further. Combined with the data and the operation state, the HKNN model is established to carry out the fault diagnosis. Finally, the efficiency and reliability of the improved PCA-HKNN model is discussed. It’s indicated that compared with the traditional method, especially handling the large data, this model enhances the convergence speed and the anti-interference ability of the neural network, reduces the training time and diagnosis time by more than 50%, improving the reliability of the diagnosis from 76% to 97%.
