Engine measurements across a twin-shaft IGT system during compressor fouling conditions were considered to validate this study. By implementing correlation coefficients in the compressor model, it is possible to predict the performance of the IGT system during compressor fouling conditions. The change of compressor air flow and the compressor efficiency in the twin-shaft IGT during fouling conditions is estimated. The results show that the reduction of air flow rate is the dominating parameter in the decrease of power generation in an IGT under fouled conditions. The model can provide an insight into the effect of compressor fouling conditions on system IGT performance.","PeriodicalId":124147,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115726608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stochastic process model-based methods are widely used in the RUL prediction of machinery. One of the major issues in the stochastic process model-based methods is that how to deal with the unit-to-unit variability during the RUL prediction process. Traditional methods generally handle this issue by introducing a unit-to-unit variability parameter into the model expression and estimate the parameter using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) algorithm. There exist two major limitations in the traditional methods. 1) The degradation processes are assumed to be dependent on only the age, which restricts their implementation in the cases of the state-dependent degradation processes. 2) They do not discuss the influence of the unit-to-unit variability in the RUL prediction processes systematically. To deal with these two limitations, a new RUL prediction method based on age- and state-dependent stochastic process models is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, a generalized expression of the age- and stage-dependent stochastic process models is generated. An enhanced MLE algorithm is developed to estimate the model parameters according to the measurements of the available training units. And the unit-to-unit variability parameter is updated according to the real-time measurements of the testing unit. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using a numerical simulation dataset of fatigue crack-growth.","PeriodicalId":124147,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133399795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, a fusion prognostics method combining exponential model and relevance vector machine (RVM) has been proposed and applied to the RUL prediction of bearings. This fusion prognostics method integrates the advantages of RVM and exponential model and so has better prediction performance than other exponential model-based methods. However, selecting the appropriate value of kernel parameter is very difficult for this fusion prognostics method because of the lack of an explicit prior knowledge. which reduces the prediction accuracy of the fusion prognostics method and affects its generalization performance. To solve this problem, an improved fusion prognostics method is proposed in this paper. In the improved fusion prognostics method, RVM regressions with different kernel parameter values are first applied to obtaining different sparse datasets. Then, using the exponential model of bearing degradation, the different degradation curves are got by fitting the obtained sparse datasets and the Fréchet distance is employed to select the optimum degradation curve from those fitted curves. Finally, the RUL is predicted by extrapolating the selected degradation curve to reach the failure threshold. To verify the superiority of the proposed method compared with the original fusion prognostics method, a real bearing degradation data is used for the RUL prediction. The results show that the improved fusion prognostics method outperforms the original fusion prognostics method in the RUL prediction of bearings.","PeriodicalId":124147,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126677406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compressor fouling may develop over a short time, but it is recoverable by washing and cleaning. Reliable prediction of the fouling as a function of time is helpful for planning compressor wash services. In this work, the fouling state is parametrized as the relative change of the ratio of the compressor mass flow and efficiency against ideal conditions. A regression-based prognostic model is developed to predict the fouling state as a function of time. In the next step, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is developed that considers the rate of humidity condensation at the inlet of the compressor for the prognostic model. The performance of the developed models is evaluated with recorded operating data from a GTE in a power plant. The study shows that enhancement of the prognostic model may be accomplished by taking into account the effects of humidity on the rate of fouling and results in an improvement in the prognostic accuracy.","PeriodicalId":124147,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128246469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
