基于VAE-D2GAN的涡扇发动机剩余使用寿命预测

为了提高涡扇发动机剩余使用寿命的预测精度，提出一种将变分自编码器(VAE)和双判别器对抗式生成网络(D2GAN)相结合的预训练特征提取模型。在该模型中，VAE作为D2GAN的生成器参与模型训练，形成双重嵌套生成结构，以提高中间特征的提取质量；利用长短时记忆网络进一步挖掘所提取特征的时序退化信息，预测发动机剩余使用寿命。为了验证所提模型的高效性，将模型在通用数据集上进行测试，并与当前最先进的研究比较，结果显示所提模型具有更优秀的预测表现，极大提高了发动机系统的安全性。

Remaining useful life prediction of turbofan engine based on VAE-D2GAN model

To improve the prediction accuracy of Remaining Useful Life(RUL)of turbofan engines,a pre-training feature extraction model combining Variational Autoencoder(VAE)with Dual Discriminator Generative Adversarial Nets(D2GAN)was proposed.As the generator of D2GAN,VAE participated in the model training to form a double nested generation structure to improve the quality of intermediate feature extraction.Long Short-Term Memory Networks(LSTM)was designed to further capture the time-series degradation information from the extracted features to predict the engine RUL.To verify the efficiency of the proposed method,the proposed model was tested on a common dataset and compared with several current state-of-the-art studies.The results showed that the proposed model had achieved better prediction performance,which greatly improved the safety of engine system.
