PHM fully reflects the smart maintenance paradigm encompassing data collection, data manipulation, state detection, health assessment, prognostic assessment and advisory generation. Despite the undeniable benefits, there is still a large gap between the scientific and the real world. Several authors have investigated on the barriers to PHM implementation for companies, highlighting among them the lack of systematic approaches to its design and implementation. As a first contribution to this topic, the authors conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to investigate the use of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) to support the PHM implementation. The SLR highlighted that few DSS had been developed and were limited to critical unit identification, maintenance strategy selection and data acquisition phase of PHM. Therefore, a conceptual framework for PHM implementation was provided as a second contribution. This framework summarises the decisions that should be addressed by a practitioner wishing to implement PHM services; moreover, it could lay the foundations for the development/improvement of the missing/existing DSSs for PHM implementation.</p>","PeriodicalId":33286,"journal":{"name":"IET Collaborative Intelligent Manufacturing","volume":"6 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cim2.12122","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142428882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, an improved hybrid distribution estimation algorithm was proposed to minimize the makespan. The algorithm adopts a single-layer permutation encoding and decoding strategy based on the rule of the Earliest Finished Time. A local neighbourhood search based on critical paths is performed for the optimal solution using five types of neighborhood design. A dual sampling strategy based on repetition rates was introduced to ensure the diversity of the population in the later periods of iteration. Simulated annealing searching was applied to accelerate the decline of optimal value. Finally, we conduct simulation experiments using 900 arithmetic cases and compare the simulation experimental data of this algorithm with the other four existing algorithms.

The authors’ goal is to identify artificial intelligence apps that provide the most reliable and valuable data-based fault detection techniques. A system for fault identification is presented based on reinforcement learning and proximal policy optimisation (PPO). Due to the lack of fault data, one of the key issues with the standard policy is its inability to recognise fault classes; this issue was resolved by modifying the cost equation. Using improved PPO, the authors can improve performance, address data imbalances, and forecast possible failures more accurately. The approach utilises policy-based optimisation, which offers several advantages. Firstly, it directly optimises the advantage quantity, and secondly, it ensures the stability of function approximation. The authors have studied two different turbines in Iran and collected data from them separately when a fault occurred. To demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm, the authors have included the third and fourth datasets as cyber attack benchmarks. When the authors’ proposed policy is adopted, all evaluation metrics will improve by 3%–4% as compared to the previous policy in the first benchmark, between 20% and 55% in the second benchmark, between 6% and 14% in the third benchmark, and between 4% and 5% in the fourth benchmark, with improved results and prediction times compared to existing studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":33286,"journal":{"name":"IET Collaborative Intelligent Manufacturing","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cim2.12114","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141968430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The numerous state parameters in the operation and maintenance of nuclear power turbines are collected, forming a complex high-dimensional feature space. These high-dimensional feature spaces contain redundant information, which increases the training cost and reduces the recognition accuracy and efficiency of the fault diagnosis model. To address the aforementioned challenges, a vibration fault diagnosis algorithm in nuclear power turbines is proposed. First, a long short-term memory-based denoising autoencoder (LDAE) is designed to enhance the capability of uncertainty awareness. Then, a feature extraction method integrating variational mode decomposition (VMD), L-cliffs-based effective mode selection, and sample entropy is devised to extract the latent features from the complex high-dimensional feature space. Furthermore, using extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) as the classifier, LDAE-VMD-XGBoost model is constructed for fault diagnosis of nuclear power turbines. Considering the impact of multiple hyperparameters of LDAE-VMD-XGBoost model on the performance, the pathfinder algorithm is used to optimise the model hyperparameter settings and improve the fault diagnosis accuracy.
