In view of the uncertain relationship between faults and symptoms in the water-steam system of power plant, this paper proposed a fault diagnosis method based on credibility theory. A fuzzy diagnosis model which is practical and effective was constructed by describing the issues of knowledge representation, choice of control mechanism and construction of uncertain algorithm. Simultaneously, in order to diminish diagnosis errors, this paper proposed a new setting method of rule confidence for credibility rule and made this diagnosis method closer to experts' thinking.
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.
