Novel cloud-AIoT fault diagnosis for industrial diesel generators based hybrid deep learning CNN-BGRU algorithm

Abstract

The industrial diesel generator is essential to provide electric power during emergencies and requires accurate failure diagnosis in preventative maintenance services. This research presents a novel AIoT system-based hybrid deep learning algorithm for online monitoring of the anomaly conditions of 125 kW/250 kW industrial generators. Firstly, the IoT modules with different precise sensors are developed to be installed on 125 kW and 250 kW industrial generators to simulate other faults conditions in the laboratory. Then, the supervised learning operations are deployed to train deep learning algorithms with collected labeled data. The proposed algorithm, a hybrid convolution neural network bidirectional gate recurrent unit (CNN-BGRU), is deployed to extract deep features from long sequential historical signals and classify the anomaly conditions. The experiments in different 10 s, 20 s, and 30 s sampling frequencies are performed to evaluate and analyze with various benchmarks, which demonstrate efficiencies of the proposed CNN-BGRU method with other traditional deep learning algorithms, including RNN, CNN, GRU, LSTM, BRNN, and BGRU methods. The proposed hybrid method accomplishes the supreme augmentation of 29.43 % loss, 36.55 % validating loss, 25.86 % MAE, 27.00 % validating MAE, 16.78 % MSE, 20.64 % validating MSE, 6.36 % Pre, 25.34 % validating Pre, 17.30 % Rec, and 26.91 % validating Rec compared with state-of-the-art approaches. The AIoT system-based hybrid CNN-BGRU algorithm provides better improvement and higher accuracy in fault diagnosis of firefighting pumps for maintenance service in Industry 4.0.
