Using Machine Learning Methods to Predict Hydraulic Pump Remaining Useful Life

Abstract

This article discusses a sampling algorithm for machine learning in order to capture the trend of the cumulative deterioration of the characteristics of a hydraulic pump (cumulative degradation), which affects the efficiency of its operation and manifests itself in the form of a drop in volumetric efficiency. To generate data, a simulation model of a typical station for the supply of working fluid in technological complexes, developed in the SimulationX program, is used. The transient processes of pressure change in the system are described, from the analysis of which a tendency of a decrease in the average component of the pressure signal is traced, which is used as a diagnostic feature - an indicator of the state of the system. An example is also considered that describes the possibility of assessing the residual life of the system based on data characterizing the past state of the system, and can be adapted when forming a more complex base, taking into account the use of artificial neural networks.
