“…State-of-art mathematical methods from hard and soft computing area are used to detect, separate and identification (Zhou, 2003) the different faults of industrial systems (Azhar, 2010) or dynamic systems (Nicholson, 1992). Several papers can be found which use Kalman filter (Spina, 2000), parity equations (Pranatyasto, 2001), principal component analyses (Zhang, 2003) for fault detection and diagnosis. Other authors use width spectrum of different artificial intelligence methods like: Bayes networks (Mehranbod, 2005), probabilistic neural networks (Jabbari, 2007), multilayer perceptron (MLP) (Zhang, 2006) or fuzzy logic (Amann, 2001).…”
In this paper an artificial neural network based technique will be introduce, which is capable to separate the different types of faulty state of the analysed system and generate signs to alarm the user about the failures in the system. The method can detect, separate, and identify the faults in the system. Large datasets were developed to train the separator networks. To speed up the training process of separator network, active learning method was applied. To find the separator mathematical structure weakness, a complex test process was used where the size of the different faults was varied and the performance of the structure was examined. The examination has two parts: first the appearance and termination of the faults were tested; later the estimation of the fault size was checked. The separator technique needs mathematical models of the analysed system. In our case, the models were also based on feed forward neural networks.

“…For this reason, two techniques for measurement validation are presented in the paper: the first one is based on the use of acceptability bands [43,53], while the other uses statistical-based methods for outlier identification [44]. Analytical redundancy techniques for sensor fault detection and isolation can also be used [54]. In any case, if there is insufficient data or measurement accuracy is low, a "reality check" should be always made to verify plausibility of the information obtained through the GPAbased tool.…”
A reduction of gas turbine maintenance costs, together with the increase in machine availability and the reduction of management costs, is usually expected when gas turbine preventive maintenance is performed in parallel to on-condition maintenance. However, on-condition maintenance requires up-to-date knowledge of the machine health state. The gas turbine health state can be determined by means of Gas Path Analysis (GPA) techniques, which allow the calculation of machine health state indices, starting from measurements taken on the machine. Since the GPA technique makes use of field measurements, the reliability of the diagnostic process also depends on measurement reliability. In this paper, a comprehensive approach for both the measurement validation and health state determination of gas turbines is discussed, and its application to a 5 MW gas turbine working in a natural gas compression plant is presented.
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.
