This paper introduces an on-line particle-filtering (PF)-based framework for fault diagnosis and failure prognosis in non-linear, non-Gaussian systems. This framework considers the implementation of two autonomous modules. A fault detection and identification (FDI) module uses a hybrid state-space model of the plant and a PF algorithm to estimate the state probability density function (pdf) of the system and calculates the probability of a fault condition in realtime. Once the anomalous condition is detected, the available state pdf estimates are used as initial conditions in prognostic routines. The failure prognostic module, on the other hand, predicts the evolution in time of the fault indicator and computes the pdf of the remaining useful life (RUL) of the faulty subsystem, using a non-linear state-space model (with unknown time-varying parameters) and a PF algorithm that updates the current state estimate. The outcome of the prognosis module provides information about the precision and accuracy of long-term predictions, RUL expectations and 95% confidence intervals for the condition under study. Data from a seeded fault test for a UH-60 planetary gear plate are used to validate the proposed approach.
Artículo de publicación ISIThis paper presents the implementation of a particlefiltering-
based prognostic framework that allows estimating the
state of health (SOH) and predicting the remaining useful life
(RUL) of energy storage devices, and more specifically lithium-ion
batteries, while simultaneously detecting and isolating the effect
of self-recharge phenomena within the life-cycle model. The
proposed scheme and the statistical characterization of capacity
regeneration phenomena are validated through experimental data
from an accelerated battery degradation test and a set of ad hoc
performance measures to quantify the precision and accuracy of
the RUL estimates. In addition, a simplified degradation model
is presented to analyze and compare the performance of the
proposed approach in the case where the optimal solution (in the
mean-square-error sense) can be found analytically
Artículo de publicación ISIThis paper introduces a method to detect a fault associated with critical components/subsystems of an engineered system. It is required, in this case, to detect the fault condition as early as possible, with specified degree of confidence and a prescribed false alarm rate. Innovative features of the enabling technologies include a Bayesian estimation algorithm called particle filtering, which employs features or condition indicators derived from sensor data in combination with simple models of the system's degrading state to detect a deviation or discrepancy between a baseline (no-fault) distribution and its current counterpart. The scheme requires a fault progression model describing the degrading state of the system in the operation. A generic model based on fatigue analysis is provided and its parameters adaptation is discussed in detail. The scheme provides the probability of abnormal condition and the presence of a fault is confirmed for a given confidence level. The efficacy of the proposed approach is illustrated with data acquired from bearings typically found on aircraft and monitored via a properly instrumented test rig.Army Research Laboratories (ARL) W911NF-07-2-007
We present orbital elements and mass sums for eighteen visual binary stars of spectral types B to K (five of which are new orbits) with periods ranging from 20 to more than 500 yr. For two doubleline spectroscopic binaries with no previous orbits, the individual component masses, using combined astrometric and radial velocity data, have a formal uncertainty of ∼ 0.1M . Adopting published photometry, and trigonometric parallaxes, plus our own measurements, we place these objects on an H-R diagram, and discuss their evolutionary status. These objects are part of a survey to characterize the binary population of stars in the Southern Hemisphere, using the SOAR 4m telescope+HRCAM at CTIO. Orbital elements are computed using a newly developed Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm that delivers maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters, as well as posterior probability density functions that allow us to evaluate the uncertainty of our derived parameters in a robust way. For spectroscopic binaries, using our approach, it is possible to derive a self-consistent parallax for the system from the combined astrometric plus radial velocity data ("orbital parallax"), which compares well with the trigonometric parallaxes. We also present a mathematical formalism that allows a dimensionality reduction of the feature space from seven to three search parameters (or from ten to seven dimensions -including parallax -in the case of spectroscopic binaries with astrometric data), which makes it possible to explore a smaller number of parameters in each case, improving the computational efficiency of our Markov Chain Monte Carlo code.
Abstract-In an electricity market environment, energy storage plant owners are remunerated for the provision of services to multiple electricity sectors. Some of these services, however, may accelerate battery aging and degradation and hence this needs to be properly balanced against associated services remunerations. In this framework, we propose a combined economic-degradation model to quantify effects of operational policies (mainly focused on constraining State of Charge -SOC-to prescribed levels in order to reduce effects of aging) on gross revenue, multi-service portfolios, degradation and lifespan of distributed energy storage plants that can provide multiple services to energy and balancing market participants and Distribution Network Operators (DNO). Through various case studies based on the Great Britain (GB) system, we demonstrate that although operational policies focused on battery damage reduction will lead to a revenue loss in the shortterm, such loss can be more than compensated by long-term revenues due to a lengthier battery lifespan. We also demonstrate that operational policies to reduce battery degradation mainly affect services related to the energy (rather than balancing) market, which represents a smaller proportion of the overall revenue streams of a distributed storage plant. The model is also used to study effects of ambient temperature fluctuations.Index Terms-Distributed energy storage, multi-service portfolios, degradation, temperature control, power system economics.

Artículo de publicación ISIWe present the implementation of a particle-filteringbased
prognostic framework that utilizes statistical characterization
of use profiles to (i) estimate the state-of-charge (SOC), and (ii)
predict the discharge time of energy storage devices (lithium-ion
batteries). The proposed approach uses a novel empirical statespace
model, inspired by battery phenomenology, and particle-filtering
algorithms to estimate SOC and other unknown model parameters
in real-time. The adaptation mechanism used during the
filtering stage improves the convergence of the state estimate, and
provides adequate initial conditions for the prognosis stage. SOC
prognosis is implemented using a particle-filtering-based framework
that considers a statistical characterization of uncertainty for
future discharge profiles based on maximum likelihood estimates
of transition probabilities for a two-state Markov chain. All algorithms
have been trained and validated using experimental data
acquired from one Li-Ion 26650 and two Li-Ion 18650 cells, and
considering different operating conditions.Project FONDECYT 114077
