Abstract

In this paper, the author proposed a nuclear power plant (NPP) instrumentation signal faults identification algorithm. A variational autoencoder (VAE)-based model is trained by using only normal dataset as same as existing anomaly detection method, and trained model predicts which signal within the entire signal set is anomalous. Classification of anomalous signals is performed based on the reconstruction error for each kind of signal and partial derivatives of reconstruction error with respect to the specific part of an input. Simulation was conducted to acquire the data for the experiments. Through the experiments, it was identified that the proposed signal fault identification method can specify the anomalous signals within acceptable range of error.

본 논문에서는 원전 비상 상황 발생 시 다수의 신호 오류가 발생했을 때 어떤 신호에 오류가 발생했는지를 추정하는 신호 오류 식별 (Fault identification) 방법론을 개발하였다. 변분 오토인 코더 (Variational autoencoder; VAE) 기반 모델은 기존의 이상 탐지 방법론과 같이 정상 신호 데이터만을 이용하여 훈련이 진행되며, 이후 각 신호에 대한 복원 오차 (Reconstruction error)와 복원 오차를 입력의 특정 부분으로 미분한 값을 이용하여 어떤 부분에 오류가 포함되어 있는지를 예측한다. 데이터 취득을 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 일련의 실험으로부터 제시한 신호 오류 식별 방법이 적절한 오차 범위 내에서 오류가 발생한 신호를 특정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
