This paper proposed a fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) algorithm using nonlinear regression models, focusing especially on heat exchanger faults. This research concerned four working modes: those with no fault, evaporator fault, condenser fault, and evaporator and condenser faults. This research used no fault mode data to create an FDD algorithm. Using the no fault mode data, correlation functions for predicting the degree of superheat or subcool of heat exchangers (an evaporator and a condenser) were derived. Each correlation function has five inputs and one output. Based on these correlation functions, it is possible to predict the degree of superheat or subcool of each heat exchanger under various working conditions. The FDD algorithm was developed by comparing the predicted value and the simulation value. The FDD algorithm works well in all four working modes.

To approximate the threshold of the fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) system, validation of the measurements is mandatory. Naturally, the system shows uncertainties due to measuring sensors - mostly thermocouples or RTDs - and due to repeatability. The uncertainty of a thermocouple comes from natural variation or a drift of the thermocouple measurement. Considering the natural variation behaves like zero-mean white noise, its natural variation can be characterized closely by the steady-state standard deviation. However, residuals between measurements and no-fault references in FDD systems show a statistical distribution with various uncertainties. In this paper, steady-state variations of measurement residuals were investigated by utilizing built-in temperature sensors in a heat pump for the model development and the final application.

As it is the most important to make sure security and reliability for nuclear Power Plant, it's considered the most crucial issues to develop a fault detective and diagnostic system in spite of multiple hardware redundancy in itself. To develop an algorithm for a fault diagnosis in the nuclear PWR steam generator, this paper proposes a method based on ART2(adaptive resonance theory 2) neural network that senses and classifies troubles occurred in the system. The fault diagnosis system consists of fault detective part to sense occurred troubles, parameter estimation part to identify changed system parameters and fault classification part to understand types of troubles occurred. The fault classification part Is composed of a fault classifier that uses ART2 neural network. The Performance of the proposed fault diagnosis a18orithm was corroborated by applying in the steam generator.

영구자석 전동기는 전력 밀도가 높고 효율이 좋은 특징으로 견인, 의료, 군사 분야 등 다양한 산업 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 이러한 분야에서 사용되는 전동기 구동 시스템은 높은 신뢰성이 요구되므로 인버터에서 발생하는 전력 반도체 스위치 고장을 빠르게 감지해야한다. 본 논문에서는 제어기 상전압 지령과 추정된 상전압 사이의 오차를 통해 전력 반도체 개방 고장을 감지하고 진단하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법은 추가적인 측정 회로 없이 제어기 내부 값을 사용하여 개방 고장을 감지하고 개방된 스위치를 진단할 수 있다. 특히 부하 변동을 고려한 감지 방법을 제안하여 고장 감지의 신뢰성을 개선한다.

This paper presents a fault diagnosis method using neural network-based multi-fault models and statistical method to detect and isolate faults in nonlinear systems. In the proposed method, faults are detected when the errors between the system output and the neural network nominal system output cross a predetermined threshold. Once a fault in the system is detected, the fault classifier statistically isolates the fault by using the error between each neural network-based fault model output and the system output. From the computer simulation results, it is verified that the proposed fault diagonal method can be performed successfully to detect and isolate faults in a nonlinear system.

Neural networks-based fault diagnosis algorithm to detect and isolate faults in the nonlinear systems is proposed. In the proposed method, the fault is detected when the errors between the system output and the multilayer neural network-based nominal model output cross a Predetermined threshold. Once a fault in the system is detected, the system outputs are transferred to the fault classifier by nultilayer/ART2 NN (adaptive resonance theory 2 neural network) for fault isolation. From the computer simulation results, it is verified that the proposed fault diagonal method can be performed successfully to detect and isolate faults in a nonlinear system.

Identification of a steady state is the first step in developing a fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) system of a heat pump. In a complete FDD system, the steady-state detector will be included as a module in a self-learning algorithm, which enables the working system's reference model to "tune" itself to its particular installation. In this study, a steady-state detector of a residential air conditioner based on moving windows was designed. Seven representative measurements were selected as key features for steady-state detection. The optimized moving-window size and the feature thresholds were decided on the basis of a startup-transient test and no-fault steady-state test. Performance of the steady-state detector was verified during an indoor load-change test. In this study, a general methodology for designing a moving-window steady-state detector for applications involving vapor compression has been established.

3상 컨버터에서 스위치의 개방고장이 발생한 경우 고장 전류에 직류 및 고조파 성분이 발생할 수 있으며, 보호회로에 의한 고장 감지가 어려우므로 주변 기기에 2차 고장이 발생할 수 있다. 단일 및 이중 스위치 개방고장의 경우 21가지 고장 모드가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고장 모드를 진단하기 위해 정지 좌표계 d-q축 전류의 직류 및 고조파 성분을 활용하는 two-step 구조의 ANN(Artificial Neural Network)을 제안한다. 고장 시에 발생된 직류 및 고조파 성분 전류는 ADALINE(Adaptive-Linear Neuron)을 통해 얻는다. 고장 진단의 첫 번째 단계에서는 직류 성분을 기반으로 ANN을 이용하여 고장모드를 6개 영역으로 분류한다. 두 번째 단계에서는 6개의 각 영역에서 직류 성분과 전류의 THD(Total Harmonics Distortion)를 기반으로 ANN을 이용하여 개방고장이 발생한 스위치를 진단한다. 제안된 Two-step 방법으로 고장을 진단하므로써 간단한 구조로 ANN의 설계가 가능하다. 3.7kW급 3상 PWM 컨버터로 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 효용성을 검증하였다.
