A ...This paper is concerned with the double sensitive fault detection filter for positive Markovian jump systems. A new hybrid adaptive event-triggered mechanism is proposed by introducing a non-monotonic adaptive law. A linear adaptive event-triggered threshold is established by virtue of 1-norm inequality.Under such a triggering strategy, the original system can be transformed into an interval uncertain system. By using a stochastic copositive Lyapunov function, an asynchronous fault detection filter is designed for positive Markovian jump systems(PMJSs) in terms of linear programming. The presented filter satisfies both L_-gain(?_-gain) fault sensitivity and L_1(?_1)internal differential privacy sensitivity. The proposed approach is also extended to the discrete-time case. Finally, two examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.展开更多

As the adoption of PV technology grows, the need for effective fault detection strategies becomes increasingly paramount to maximize energy output and minimize operational downtimes of solar power systems. These approaches include the use of machine learning and deep learning methodologies to be able to detect the identified faults in PV technology. Here, we delve into how machine learning models, specifically kernel-based extreme learning machines and support vector machines, trained on current-voltage characteristic (I-V curve) data, provide information on fault identification. We explore deep learning approaches by taking models like EfficientNet-B0, which looks at infrared images of solar panels to detect subtle defects not visible to the human eye. We highlight the utilization of advanced image processing techniques and algorithms to exploit aerial imagery data, from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), for inspecting large solar installations. Some other techniques like DeepLabV3 , Feature Pyramid Networks (FPN), and U-Net will be detailed as such tools enable effective segmentation and anomaly detection in aerial panel images. Finally, we discuss implications of these technologies on labor costs, fault detection precision, and sustainability of PV installations.展开更多

文摘Electric motor-driven systems are core components across industries,yet they’re susceptible to bearing faults.Manual fault diagnosis poses safety risks and economic instability,necessitating an automated approach.This study proposes FTCNNLSTM(Fine-Tuned TabNet Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory),an algorithm combining Convolutional Neural Networks,Long Short-Term Memory Networks,and Attentive Interpretable Tabular Learning.The model preprocesses the CWRU(Case Western Reserve University)bearing dataset using segmentation,normalization,feature scaling,and label encoding.Its architecture comprises multiple 1D Convolutional layers,batch normalization,max-pooling,and LSTM blocks with dropout,followed by batch normalization,dense layers,and appropriate activation and loss functions.Fine-tuning techniques prevent over-fitting.Evaluations were conducted on 10 fault classes from the CWRU dataset.FTCNNLSTM was benchmarked against four approaches:CNN,LSTM,CNN-LSTM with random forest,and CNN-LSTM with gradient boosting,all using 460 instances.The FTCNNLSTM model,augmented with TabNet,achieved 96%accuracy,outperforming other methods.This establishes it as a reliable and effective approach for automating bearing fault detection in electric motor-driven systems.
文摘Electrolysis tanks are used to smeltmetals based on electrochemical principles,and the short-circuiting of the pole plates in the tanks in the production process will lead to high temperatures,thus affecting normal production.Aiming at the problems of time-consuming and poor accuracy of existing infrared methods for high-temperature detection of dense pole plates in electrolysis tanks,an infrared dense pole plate anomalous target detection network YOLOv5-RMF based on You Only Look Once version 5(YOLOv5)is proposed.Firstly,we modified the Real-Time Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network(Real-ESRGAN)by changing the U-shaped network(U-Net)to Attention U-Net,to preprocess the images;secondly,we propose a new Focus module that introduces the Marr operator,which can provide more boundary information for the network;again,because Complete Intersection over Union(CIOU)cannot accommodate target borders that are increasing and decreasing,replace CIOU with Extended Intersection over Union(EIOU),while the loss function is changed to Focal and Efficient IOU(Focal-EIOU)due to the different difficulty of sample detection.On the homemade dataset,the precision of our method is 94%,the recall is 70.8%,and the map@.5 is 83.6%,which is an improvement of 1.3%in precision,9.7%in recall,and 7%in map@.5 over the original network.The algorithm can meet the needs of electrolysis tank pole plate abnormal temperature detection,which can lay a technical foundation for improving production efficiency and reducing production waste.

文摘Deep learning has emerged in many practical applications,such as image classification,fault diagnosis,and object detection.More recently,convolutional neural networks(CNNs),representative models of deep learning,have been used to solve fault detection.However,the current design of CNNs for fault detection of wind turbine blades is highly dependent on domain knowledge and requires a large amount of trial and error.For this reason,an evolutionary YOLOv8 network has been developed to automatically find the network architecture for wind turbine blade-based fault detection.YOLOv8 is a CNN-backed object detection model.Specifically,to reduce the parameter count,we first design an improved FasterNet module based on the Partial Convolution(PConv)operator.Then,to enhance convergence performance,we improve the loss function based on the efficient complete intersection over the union.Based on this,a flexible variable-length encoding is proposed,and the corresponding reproduction operators are designed.Related experimental results confirmthat the proposed approach can achieve better fault detection results and improve by 2.6%in mean precision at 50(mAP50)compared to the existing methods.Additionally,compared to training with the YOLOv8n model,the YOLOBFE model reduces the training parameters by 933,937 and decreases the GFLOPS(Giga Floating Point Operations Per Second)by 1.1.

文摘Accurate and reliable fault detection is essential for the safe operation of electric vehicles.Support vector data description(SVDD)has been widely used in the field of fault detection.However,constructing the hypersphere boundary only describes the distribution of unlabeled samples,while the distribution of faulty samples cannot be effectively described and easilymisses detecting faulty data due to the imbalance of sample distribution.Meanwhile,selecting parameters is critical to the detection performance,and empirical parameterization is generally timeconsuming and laborious and may not result in finding the optimal parameters.Therefore,this paper proposes a semi-supervised data-driven method based on which the SVDD algorithm is improved and achieves excellent fault detection performance.By incorporating faulty samples into the underlying SVDD model,training deals better with the problem of missing detection of faulty samples caused by the imbalance in the distribution of abnormal samples,and the hypersphere boundary ismodified to classify the samplesmore accurately.The Bayesian Optimization NSVDD(BO-NSVDD)model was constructed to quickly and accurately optimize hyperparameter combinations.In the experiments,electric vehicle operation data with four common fault types are used to evaluate the performance with other five models,and the results show that the BO-NSVDD model presents superior detection performance for each type of fault data,especially in the imperceptible early and minor faults,which has seen very obvious advantages.Finally,the strong robustness of the proposed method is verified by adding different intensities of noise in the dataset.

文摘This paper is concerned with the double sensitive fault detection filter for positive Markovian jump systems. A new hybrid adaptive event-triggered mechanism is proposed by introducing a non-monotonic adaptive law. A linear adaptive event-triggered threshold is established by virtue of 1-norm inequality.Under such a triggering strategy, the original system can be transformed into an interval uncertain system. By using a stochastic copositive Lyapunov function, an asynchronous fault detection filter is designed for positive Markovian jump systems(PMJSs) in terms of linear programming. The presented filter satisfies both L_-gain(?_-gain) fault sensitivity and L_1(?_1)internal differential privacy sensitivity. The proposed approach is also extended to the discrete-time case. Finally, two examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.

文摘Real-time detection for object size has now become a hot topic in the testing field and image processing is the core algorithm. This paper focuses on the processing and display of the collected dynamic images to achieve a real-time image pro- cessing for the moving objects. Firstly, the median filtering, gain calibration, image segmentation, image binarization, cor- ner detection and edge fitting are employed to process the images of the moving objects to make the image close to the real object. Then, the processed images are simultaneously displayed on a real-time basis to make it easier to analyze, understand and identify them, and thus it reduces the computation complexity. Finally, human-computer interaction （HCI）-friendly in- terface based on VC ＋＋ is designed to accomplish the digital logic transform, image processing and real-time display of the objects. The experiment shows that the proposed algorithm and software design have better real-time performance and accu- racy which can meet the industrial needs.

文摘Fault diagnosis of traction systems is important for the safety operation of high-speed trains.Long-term operation of the trains will degrade the performance of systems,which decreases the fault detection accuracy.To solve this problem,this paper proposes a fault detection method developed by a Generalized Autoencoder(GAE)for systems with performance degradation.The advantage of this method is that it can accurately detect faults when the traction system of high-speed trains is affected by performance degradation.Regardless of the probability distribution,it can handle any data,and the GAE has extremely high sensitivity in anomaly detection.Finally,the effectiveness of this method is verified through the Traction Drive Control System(TDCS)platform.At different performance degradation levels,our method’s experimental results are superior to traditional methods.
文摘This paper examines the progression and advancements in fault detection techniques for photovoltaic (PV) panels, a target for optimizing the efficiency and longevity of solar energy systems. As the adoption of PV technology grows, the need for effective fault detection strategies becomes increasingly paramount to maximize energy output and minimize operational downtimes of solar power systems. These approaches include the use of machine learning and deep learning methodologies to be able to detect the identified faults in PV technology. Here, we delve into how machine learning models, specifically kernel-based extreme learning machines and support vector machines, trained on current-voltage characteristic (I-V curve) data, provide information on fault identification. We explore deep learning approaches by taking models like EfficientNet-B0, which looks at infrared images of solar panels to detect subtle defects not visible to the human eye. We highlight the utilization of advanced image processing techniques and algorithms to exploit aerial imagery data, from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), for inspecting large solar installations. Some other techniques like DeepLabV3 , Feature Pyramid Networks (FPN), and U-Net will be detailed as such tools enable effective segmentation and anomaly detection in aerial panel images. Finally, we discuss implications of these technologies on labor costs, fault detection precision, and sustainability of PV installations.
