Airborne fuel pump is a key component of the airborne fuel system, which once fails will bring a huge negative impact on aircraft safety. Therefore, accurate, reliable and effective fault diagnosis must be performed. However, the current airborne fuel pump has several difficulties: fault samples shortage, high maintenance costs and low diagnostic efficiency. In this paper, after Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) of airborne fuel pump, an experimental platform of airborne fuel transfusion system is developed and then a fault diagnosis model based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and probabilistic neural networks (PNN) is established. Meanwhile, the diagnosis model is verified by practical experiments, and the sensor layout of the experimental platform is optimized. Firstly, the vibration signals and pressure signals under normal state and six types of typical fuel pump faults are acquired on the experimental platform. Then EMD method is applied to decompose the original vibration signals into a finite Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) and a residual. Secondly, the energy of first four IMFs is extracted as vibration signals fault feature, combined with the mean outlet pressure to construct fault feature vectors. Then feature vectors are divided into training samples and testing samples. Training samples are used to train PNN fault diagnosis model and testing samples are used to verify the model. Finally, the experimental results show that only one pressure sensor and one y-axis vibration sensor are needed to achieve 100% fault diagnosis. Furthermore, compared with SVM and GA-BP, the PNN fault diagnosis model has fast convergence, high efficiency and a higher performance and recognition for the typical faults of airborne fuel pump. 相似文献
The active and reactive power flow in distribution networks can be effectively controlled by optimally placing Shunt Capacitors (SCs) and Distributed Generators (DGs). This paper presents improved versions of three evolutionary or swarm-based search algorithms, namely, Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA), Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) and Improved Cat Swarm Optimization (ICSO) to efficiently handle the problem of simultaneous allocation of SCs and DGs in radial distribution networks while considering variable load scenario. The benefit of network reconfiguration has also been taken into account after optimal allocation of these devices. Several algorithm specific modifications are suggested in the standard forms of GA, PSO and CSO to overcome their inherent drawbacks. In addition, an intelligent search approach is proposed to enhance overall performance of proposed algorithms. The proposed methods are investigated on IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus test distribution systems showing promising results when compared with other recently established methods. Application results also show a marked improvement in the performance of these algorithms while compared with their respective standard counterparts. 相似文献
