An Integrated Fault Evaluation (IFE) process is proposed in this study. It includes Sensor Validation (SV), Fault Detection (FD) and Fault Source Identification (FSI). The proposed algorithm employs data fusion algorithm enhanced by Kalman filter (KF). As the case study, vibration signals representing different aging states of an induction motor are used. The vibration data collected from two identical sensors with different measurement and process noises are achieved. Through the statistical and frequency domain characteristics, IFE is realized. The most prominent contribution of the study is the capability of distinction between the aging of the system and the process problems. For this aim, a rate representing the healthiness, which can discern the impact of the process noise and system aging, is calculated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
