Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fault diagnosis is one of the main phases for online monitoring and control. This guarantees that systems have high performance and reliability in the presence of faults, where the faults can be caused not only by unexpected natural disasters or equipment aging, but also by malicious attacks. For fault-tolerant control, accurate and real-time fault diagnosis is required. Recent deep learning technology has led to the development of technology related to fault diagnosis as well as fault-tolerant control. This Special Issue focuses on deep learning technology related to fault diagnosis and its applications (including development and implementation for communication/network systems, traffic systems, aircraft/spacecraft control systems, etc.). The main purpose of this Special Issue is to share the latest novel studies on deep learning technology for fault diagnosis.

Topics for this Special Issue include the following, but are not limited to:

  • Deep learning for fault detection/diagnosis (or fault detectability analysis);
  • Fault-tolerant control with deep learning based fault diagnosis (and its performance analysis);
  • Reliable systems with deep learning based fault detection/diagnosis/control;
  • Decision intelligence with fault detection/diagnosis;
  • Deep learning-based implementations/applications for fault diagnosis.

The current network for the dual-task grinding wheel defect semantic segmentation lacks high-precision lightweight designs, making it challenging to balance lightweighting and segmentation accuracy, thus severely limiting its practical application in grinding wheel production lines. Additionally, recent approaches for addressing the natural class imbalance in defect segmentation fail to leverage the inexhaustible unannotated raw data on the production line, posing huge data wastage. Targeting these two issues, firstly, by discovering the similarity between Coordinate Attention (CA) and ASPP, this study has introduced a novel lightweight CA-ASP module to the DeeplabV3+, which is 45.3% smaller in parameter size and 53.2% lower in FLOPs compared to the ASPP, while achieving better segmentation precision. Secondly, we have innovatively leveraged the Masked Autoencoder (MAE) to address imbalance. By developing a new Hybrid MAE and applying it to self-supervised pretraining on tremendous unannotated data, we have significantly uplifted the network’s semantic understanding on the minority classes, which leads to further rises in both the overall accuracy and accuracy of the minorities without additional computational growth. Lastly, transfer learning has been deployed to fully utilize the highly related dual tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods with a real-time latency of 9.512 ms obtain a superior segmentation accuracy on the mIoU score over the compared real-time state-of-the-art methods, excelling in managing the imbalance and ensuring stability on the complicated scenes across the dual tasks.

The traditional power transformer diagnosis method relies on a lot of experience knowledge and a complex sampling process, which brings great difficulties to the fault diagnosis work. To solve this problem, a fault feature extraction method based on fully adaptive noise set empirical mode decomposition (CEEMDAN) is proposed, and the hunter–prey optimization (HPO) algorithm is used to optimize the support vector machine (SVM) to identify and classify the voice print faults of power transformers. Firstly, the CEEMDAN algorithm is used to decompose the voicemarks into several IMF components. IMF components containing fault information are selected according to the envelope kurtosis index and reconstructed to generate new signal sequences. PCA dimensionality reduction is performed on the reconstructed signal, and the principal components are extracted with a high cumulative contribution rate as input to SVM. Then, the HPO-SVM algorithm is used to classify and identify transformer faults. Apply the proposed method to the diagnosis of typical faults in power transformers. The results show that the accuracy of this method in identifying various fault states of power transformers can reach 98.5%, and it has better classification performance than other similar methods.

An indirect procedure for real-time monitoring the neutral conductor condition in three-phase distribution networks, based on watching over the growth of a novel parameter (∆τ), has been described in this paper. The parameter ∆τ has been defined as the relationship between the neutral-displacement power and Buchholz’s apparent power measured at the fundamental frequency in the loads of the distribution networks for any condition of the neutral conductor and in its nominal conditions. The effectiveness of this procedure has been compared with other traditional indirect procedures, such as the surveillance of the RMS values of the line-to-neutral load voltages or their zero-sequence component. The practical application on a real distribution network reveals that the growth of the parameter ∆τ in the early stages of the breaking process of the neutral conductor follows a straight line whose equation is known for each length and section of that conductor, regardless of the loads and the voltage regulation of the transformer of the distribution network. This characteristic of the ∆τ parameter shows that the proposed procedure is suitable for monitoring neutral conductor deterioration and can be used for preventive maintenance of distribution networks.
