This work contributes to the techniques used for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system data completion in databases containing historical water sensor signals from a water supplier company. Our approach addresses the data restoration problem in two stages. In the first stage, we treat one-dimensional signals by estimating missing data through the combination of two linear predictor filters, one working forwards and one backwards. In the second stage, the data are tensorized to take advantage of the underlying structures at five minute, one day, and one week intervals. Subsequently, a low-range approximation of the tensor is constructed to correct the first stage of the data restoration. This technique requires an offset compensation to guarantee the continuity of the signal at the two ends of the burst. To check the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed statistical tests by deleting bursts of known sizes in a complete tensor and contrasting different strategies in terms of their performance. For the type of data used, the results show that the proposed data completion approach outperforms other methods, the difference becoming more evident as the size of the bursts of missing data grows.
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems currently monitor and collect a huge among of data from all kind of processes. Ideally, they must run without interruption, but in practice, some data may be lost due to a sensor failure or a communication breakdown. When it happens, given the nature of these failures, information is lost in bursts, that is, sets of consecutive samples. When this occurs, it is necessary to fill out the gaps of the historical data with a reliable data completion method. This paper presents an ad hoc method to complete the data lost by a SCADA system in case of long bursts. The data correspond to levels of drinking water tanks of a Water Network company which present fluctuation patterns on a daily and a weekly scale. In this work, a new tensorization process and a novel completion algorithm mainly based on two tensor decompositions are presented. Statistical tests are realised, which consist of applying the data reconstruction algorithms, by deliberately removing bursts of data in verified historical databases, to be able to evaluate the real effectiveness of the tested methods. For this application, the presented approach outperforms the other techniques found in the literature.
