A well professed definition of prognostics in the existing literature is the ability to use automated methods to assess system condition, estimate functional parameters and forecast degradation. Rotating shafts are a critical component to most modern day machinery and are at a constant risk of failure given the harsh working environment they are subjected to. The main aim of this paper is to propose a data-driven prognostic approach combining a machine learning method like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with an exponential degradation model to accurately predict the RUL of a rotating shaft. For this purpose, vibration data collected off a faulty shaft over many days is analyzed in both time and frequency domains to extract descriptive fault features. Following feature post-processing for noise reduction and data training, it is observed that Kurtosis ranks the highest in terms of feature importance by quantifying its merit amongst all other features based on the metrics of monotonicity and trendability. Following feature normalization, a PCA model is employed for dimensionality reduction and feature fusion to improve the accuracy of the prognosis system. As a good indicator of deteriorating health, the PCA-based fused health indicator is combined with the previous top feature, Kurtosis, to be used as a mathematical input for a physical-behavior degradation model. Unlike most practical cases, the selection of threshold for a degradation slope in the proposed model is independent of historical data and is capable of evaluating the significance of slope by relying on observed data instead. Results indicate that parameter distribution is updated on a real-time basis by selecting an arbitrary slope parameter every time a significant variance in health is detected. The final output includes probability density function (PDF) of RUL, Estimated & True RUL, confidence intervals and prognostic performance analysis plots indicating better performance of the proposed degradation model in predicting shaft failure.","PeriodicalId":6529,"journal":{"name":"2018 Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis (CMD)","volume":"13 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87757316","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 this study, core and winding vibrations in a dry type transformer is monitored using an accelerometer to diagnose the winding electrical and mechanical faults.

Paper insulation which mostly consists of cellulose degrades and the Degree of Polymerization decreases due to the decomposition of the inter-fiber bondings. This causes a reduced mechanical strength and will lead to tears, defibrillations and loss of stability.

As the core of HVDC transmission, the converter station has the characteristics of many types of equipment, various equipment, various auxiliary systems and large signal levels, and it has a high requirement for real-time monitoring signals. To realize the remote monitoring and control of the converter station, it is urgent to solve the problem of stratification and classification of the remote transmission signal. Therefore, this paper mainly focuses on the remote transmission signals of large converter stations, and conducts stratification and classification strategies from the three business perspectives of converter station remote monitoring, DC system status identification, and event intelligent diagnosis and processing. First of all, this paper investigates the research status of stratification and classification of converter station signals, and combs and collects the remote transmission signals. Then, combined with the domestic high-voltage DC protection system and the actual operation data of the telecontrol system, the stratification and classification strategies of the far-transmission signal of the converter station are studied from three different angles. Finally, a differentiated signal stratification and classification method for different services based on grey correlation analysis and Apriori correlation analysis was proposed. The actual case verification can get the result. The signal stratification and classification method proposed in this paper can accurately filter the signals which used to evaluate the status of the converter station.

Breakdown voltage (in oil without pressboard) and flashover voltage (in oil with pressboard) were recorded and analyzed. It has been found that the above natural esters represented certain degree of lower breakdown and flashover properties compared to mineral oil; moreover, in small oil gaps, the breakdown voltage was higher than flashover voltage, while in large gaps the opposite, and this trend was increasingly obvious with gap distance increasing.
