Differently from traditional feature extraction and selection methods, which are labor-intensive and based on expert knowledge, the method proposed is automatic and completely unsupervised. Run-to-failure data collected during the component life are fed to a Sparse AutoEncoder (SAE), and the various features extracted from the hidden layer are evaluated to identify those providing the most accurate quantification of the component degradation. The method is applied to a synthetic and a bearing vibration dataset. The results show that the developed SAE-based method is able to automatically extract an efficient health indicator.","PeriodicalId":166131,"journal":{"name":"2018 3rd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122501176","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}

In addition, digital multimeter suffers three dynamic environmental stresses including temperature, relative humidity, and salinity. Aiming at improving prediction accuracy of digital multimeter reliability and residual lifetime, this paper focuses on degradation modeling and lifetime prediction of digital multimeter with multi-performance indices and in complex marine environment. The measurement errors of the five indices are used as the degradation signals to reflect the performance of the digital multimeter. A degradation model considering the effects of the three dynamic marine environmental stresses is proposed based on initial degradation measurement, degradation rate function and Wiener process to predict the cumulative distributions of the First Passage Time (FPT) of the five indices. Furthermore, the Copula function with the lowest AIC value is used to model the dependence structure among multiple performance indices. A case study based on measurement errors of digital multimeter and dynamic environment data for nine months is presented to illustrate the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":166131,"journal":{"name":"2018 3rd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129886662","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}

When a CPS encounters an incident, the increased complexity makes diagnosis a challenging task for traditional diagnostic approaches. To overcome this problem, we split the diagnostic procedure into three steps, namely: (1) type causality, (2) detection and (3) actual causality analyses. We then utilize various technologies to automate each step. Fault trees are extracted from the four variable model of a CPS. This results in modular and human-readable fault trees. Moreover, CPS logs are mapped to the instances of the fault tree nodes using time series analysis techniques. Through examples of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), we demonstrate that our framework can diagnose a wide range of scenarios including software, sensor, and actuator failures.","PeriodicalId":166131,"journal":{"name":"2018 3rd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132081572","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}

Based on the Morris screening method, a time-domain sensitivity analysis method that is based on a large amount of random data with equal probability is proposed to study the effect of each factor on the system reliability and safety. Finally, the system model is simulated in MATLAB. The simulation demonstrates that system reliability and safety gradually decrease and the effect of each factor on them increases over time; the reliability is most sensitive to the failure rate of the CPU module; the safety is most sensitive to the failure detection rate; the comparator and switch modules have important effects on the reliability and safety; the common cause failure has small effect on the reliability and safety.","PeriodicalId":166131,"journal":{"name":"2018 3rd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130039339","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}

Whereas studies have shown the importance of considering operational flexibility as an integral part of the design of power systems with a high share of renewable energy sources, very few works have incorporated the resilience against severe weather threats directly into the system design phase. We propose a comprehensive flexibility and resilience modeling and optimization framework for power systems planning considering extreme weather scenarios. A set of piece-wise linear models are developed to calculate the impact of extreme heat waves and drought events on the performance of the power generation units and on the system load. We propose a method to integrate the extreme climate impact within the power system planning model and investigate the results obtained compared to conventional planning methods under real future climate projections.","PeriodicalId":166131,"journal":{"name":"2018 3rd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132947596","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}

Disturbance in transformer operation should be avoided. Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) has been known as one of the most effective tools to monitor the health of transformer. There are various methods in interpreting DGA manually, such as IEEE and IEC-based methods. However, those methods still require the human expertise. Fast and accurate fault diagnosis in the transformer remains a challenge. This study proposes an intelligent system to diagnose fault types in the transformer using data mining approach, i.e. support vector machine (SVM). SVM has been known for its robustness, good generalization ability and unique global optimum solutions. IEC TC10 databases are used as data to illustrate the performance of multistage support vector machine (SVM). The proposed system yields effective transformer fault diagnosis with high recognition rate, which is around 90%.","PeriodicalId":166131,"journal":{"name":"2018 3rd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"247 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115207253","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}

Reworking BGA components is a complicated process that also impacts PCA reliability. Therefore, the BGA rework limit in production is always a trade-off between the expensive costs of high-density PCAs and the reliabilities of PCAs after reworks. Most industries limit the BGA reworks to 3. In this work, we propose intensive 18 BGA reworks on single PCA, investigate thermal reflow effects on high aspect ratio PTH and micro-vias, and analyze solder joint qualities after reworks. The successful test results from cross-section and dye-and-pry demonstrate the reliabilities of such multiple BGA reworks on single high-density PCA.","PeriodicalId":166131,"journal":{"name":"2018 3rd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115346114","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}
