Data-Driven Based Gas Path Fault Diagnosis for Turbo-Shaft Engine

Abstract

In order to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce the rate of misdiagnosis to the aircraft engine gas path faulty, the methods based on data-driven and information fusion are developed and analyzed. BP neural network (NN) and RBF neural network based on data-driven single gas path fault diagnosis method is introduced firstly. Design gas path performance estimators and the fault type classification for turbo-shaft engine. Then the gas path fused diagnostic structure based on D-S evidence theory and least squares support vector machine are developed. Comparisons of the turbo-shaft engine gas path fault diagnosis verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the gas path fault diagnosis based on information fusion.
