Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Safety and reliability have always been an important issue for modern sophisticated systems and technologies. Therefore, fault detection and diagnosis approaches are developed for ensuring quick and efficient awareness and improving the treatment of malfunctions within equipment or systems. Methods based on deep learning are playing an important role in the powerful representation ability, with the fast increase in the volume and dimension of big data and the development of cognitive computation. They serve as a great assistant for the rare domain experts and enhance more ordinary employees with the ability to find and diagnose faults and anomalies, reducing maintenance costs.

This Special Issue invites academics, professionals, and experts to exchange cutting-edge knowledge in the rapidly growing field. It comprehensively covers the most recent developments in the closely linked topics of fault diagnosis and detection based on deep learning.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Intelligent fault detection;
  • Intelligent fault diagnosis;
  • Anomaly detection (tabular, time series, images, etc.);
  • Anomaly classification (tabular, time series, images, etc.);
  • Intelligent maintenance;
  • Predictive maintenance;
  • Fault diagnosis based on multi-task learning;
  • Fault knowledge graph;
  • Knowledge and data-driven anomaly detection;
  • Expert systems of anomaly detection based on deep learning;
  • Federated learning for failure detection;
  • Target recognition.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Power generators are one of the critical assets of power grids. The early detection of faults in power generators is essential to prevent cutoffs of the electrical supply in the power grid. This work presents a comparative analysis of machine learning (ML) models for the generator fault diagnosis. The objective is to show the ability of simple and ensemble ML models to diagnose faults using as attributes partial discharges and dissipation factor data. For this purpose, a generator fault database was built, gathering information from operational data curated by power generator experts. The hyper-parameters of the ML models were selected using a grid search (GS) and cross-validation (CV) optimization. ML models were evaluated with class imbalance and multi-classification metrics, a correspondence analysis, and model performance by class (fault type). Furthermore, the selected ML model was validated by experts through a diagnosis system prototype. The results show that the gradient boosting model presented the best performance according to the performance metrics among single and ensemble ML models. Likewise, the model showed a good capacity to detect type 3 and 4 faults, which are the most catastrophic failures for the generator and must be detected in a timely manner for prompt correction. This work gives an insight into the need and effort required to implement an online diagnostic system that provides information about the power generator health index to help engineers reduce the time taken to find and repair incipient faults and avoid loss of power generation and catastrophic failures of power generators.
