    摘要: In accordance with an implementation of the present technique, a method for processing data is disclosed. The method involves analyzing consistency of sensor readings obtained from a plurality of sensors monitoring a device, where each sensor reading is indicative of at least one operational parameter of the device. The method also involves assigning a confidence value to each of the sensor readings, where the confidence value is indicative of an operational condition of one of the plurality of sensors that provided the sensor reading. The method also includes weighting each sensor reading based on the confidence value assigned to the sensor reading to determine an acceptance or a rejection of the sensor reading and fusing the sensor readings that are accepted to obtain a fused sensor reading corresponding to the operational parameter measured by the sensors on the device.

    摘要: A method for advanced condition monitoring of an asset system includes sensing actual values of an operating condition for an operating regime of the asset system using at least one sensor; estimating sensed values of the operating condition by using an auto-associative neural network; determining a residual vector between the estimated sensed values and the actual values; and performing a fault diagnostic on the residual vector. In another method, an operating space of the asset system is segmented into operating regimes; the auto-associative neural network determines estimates of actual measured values; a residual vector is determined from the auto-associative neural network; a fault diagnostic is performed on the residual vector; and a change of the operation of the asset system is determined by analysis of the residual vector. An alert is provided if necessary. A smart sensor system includes an on-board processing unit for performing the method of the invention.

    摘要: In accordance with one exemplary embodiment the invention provides a multi-parameter fiber optic sensing system with an aperiodic sapphire fiber grating as sensing element for simultaneous temperature, strain, NOx, CO, O2 and H2 gas detection. The exemplary sensing system includes an aperiodic fiber grating with an alternative refractive index modulation for such multi-function sensing and determination. Fabrication of such quasiperiodic grating structures can be made with point-by-point UV laser inscribing, diamond saw micromachining, and phase mask-based coating and chemical etching methods. In the exemplary embodiment, simultaneous detections on multi-parameter can be distributed, but not limited, in gas/steam turbine exhaust, in combustion and compressor, and in coal fired boilers etc. Advantageously, the mapping of multiple parameters such as temperature, strain, and gas using sapphire aperiodic gratings improves control and optimization of such systems directed to improve efficiency and output and reduce emissions.
