Transformer fault diagnosis and repair is a complex task that includes many possible types of faults and demands special trained personnel. In this paper, Petri Nets are used for the simulation of transformer fault diagnosis process and the definition of the actions followed to repair the transformer. An oil thermometer and a Buchholz relay are used for transformer fault detection. Simulation r...

BACKGROUND Glutamate is of great importance in food and pharmaceutical industries. There is still lack of effective statistical approaches for fault diagnosis in the fermentation process of glutamate. To date, the statistical approach based on generalized additive model (GAM) and bootstrap has not been used for fault diagnosis in fermentation processes, much less the fermentation process of glu...

Redundancy and inconsistency are universal features of the turbine vibration fault diagnosis. If we can provide a solution to the problem, it should be very meaningful that the fault diagnosis data included redundant and inconsistent information could be used to decision-making rules of fault diagnosis. A novel data mining approach for fault diagnosis of turbine generator unit is proposed based...

In engineering application the sensor or actuator fault will lead to seriously damage to mechanical systems. The research of sensor or actuator fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control is very important to improve the safety and reliability of the system. The paper investigates the fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant methods of vehicle suspension system with Magnetorheological (MR) dampers (ac...

We consider a dynamic fault diagnosis problem: There are n processors, to be tested in a series of rounds. In every testing round we use a directed matching to have some processors report on the status (good or faulty) of other processors. Also in each round up to t processors may break down, and we may direct that up to t processors are repaired. We show that it is possible to limit the number...

Industry today has a severe problem in the automatic t es t i ng of analog cards. At the A i r Force I n s t i t u t e of Technology, we are developing an Expert System based on the s t ruc ture and funct ion of an analog c i r c u i t card to d r ive automatic tes t equipment. This system uses the informat ion contained in the schematic diagram of the c i r c u i t as we l l as fundamental kno...

Fault detection and isolation, (FDI) of parametric faults in dynamic systems will be considered in this paper. An active fault diagnosis (AFD) approach is applied. The fault diagnosis will be investigated with respect to different information levels from the external inputs to the systems. These inputs are disturbance inputs, reference inputs and auxiliary inputs. The diagnosis of the system is...

This paper describes about the ability of a system to detect the fault and diagnose of the test board by using generic logic array (GAL). It has been very popular in defense sectors like military systems, aerospace and medical instruments as well as in security and safety applications. The methodology used in this is “repair on the go” which detects the fault IC on the board that is under the t...

Different aspects of fault detection and fault isolation in closed-loop systems are considered. It is shown that using the standard setup known from feedback control, it is possible to formulate fault diagnosis problems based on a performance index in this general standard setup. It is also shown that feedback controllers can be applied directly as residual generators in some cases.
