Fault Detection for Suspension System of Maglev Trains Based on Historical Health Data

Abstract

To overcome the influence of multiple operating conditions for fault detection, this paper proposes a method to detect fault for the suspension system of maglev trains. Firstly, the complex operating condition of the maglev train is divided into some simple conditions, and the operating samples are extracted through the time window in the same simple operating condition. Secondly, the features of the extracted samples are extracted by the Fast Walsh-Hadamard transform, and the noise is removed by the median filtering. Thirdly, after adopting principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality of the feature, the mean of the feature is calculated and applied to calculate the Euclidean distance from the features of the new data obtained by the same processing in each time. Fourthly, the new Euclidean distance obeying the Gaussian distribution is obtained through the Box-Cox transformation. Finally, the fault threshold in each simple operating condition is established through the characteristics of Gaussian distribution. Taking a certain operating condition as an example, the method is compared with the three similar methods. The results reveal that the proposed method can detect the faults timely and has a low false alarm rate. Moreover, the proposed sub-healthy data are within an acceptable range. Based on these results, the proposed method can be applied in fault detection of the maglev train, providing a certain basis for fault diagnosis.

Optimized KLD-Based Fault Detection Method for Complex System Under Multi-Operation Conditions

“…In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed fault detection algorithm, the proposed method is respectively compared with the fault detection method based on Euclidean distance or Mahalanobis distance. Table 2 shows the statistical results of the fault detection method based on Euclidean distance, the fault method based on Mahalanobis distance and the method proposed in this paper [22]. It can be found from the table that the health samples obtained by the method based on Euclidean distance account for 100% of the total samples, and there are no fault samples, which is inconsistent with the actual sample distribution.…”

Tracking Control of Magnetic Levitation System Using Model-Free RBF Neural Network Design

“…MLS has the advantages of low energy consumption, no friction and so on. It has been widely used in engineering and education, such as magnetic levitation bearing [6], magnetic levitation train [7]- [9], magnetic levitation wind turbines [10], etc. The controller design is very important for engineering application, and the control of MLS is an important and attractive research direction in the control field.…”

Fault Detection for Complex System under Multi-Operation Conditions Based on Correlation Analysis and Improved Similarity

“…This is a non-emergency method for the overload fault of the suspension node. During the actual running of a train, there generally are three possible situations: operating, static suspension, and falling off [23]. However, regarding the suspension system, operating and static suspension are the main operation conditions during use.…”
