The battery model is the basis of battery monitoring, efficient charging, and safety management. Non-linearmodelling is the key to representing the battery and its dynamic internal parameters and performance. This paperproposes a smart scheme to model the lithium-polymer ion battery while monitoring its present charging currentand terminal voltage at various ambient conditions (temperature and relative humidity). Firstly, the suggestedframework investigated the impact of temperature and relative humidity on the charging process using the constantcurrent-constant voltage (CC-CV) charging protocol. This will be followed by monitoring the battery at thesurrounding operating temperature and relative humidity. Hence, efficient non-linear modelling of the EV batterydynamic behaviour using the Hammerstein-Wiener (H-W) model is implemented. The H-W model is considered ablack box model that can represent the battery without any mathematical equivalent circuit model which reducesthe computation complexity. Finally, the model beholds the boundaries of the charging process, not affecting onthe lifetime of the battery. Several dynamic models are applied and tested experimentally to ensure theeffectiveness of the proposed scheme under various ambient conditions where the temperature is fixed at40°C and the relative humidity (RH) at 35%, 52%, and 70%. The best fit using the H-W model reached 91.83% todescribe the dynamic behaviour of the battery with a maximum percentage of error 0.1 V which is in goodagreement with the literature survey. Besides, the model has been scaled up to represent a real EV and expressedthe significance of the proposed H-W model.展开更多

Many maintenance models have been developed for WTs’ maintenance planning, suchas corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance. Due to communities’ dependence on WTs for electricityneeds, preventive maintenance is the most widely used method for maintenance scheduling. The downside tousing this approach is that preventive maintenance (PM) is often done in fixed intervals, which is inefficient. In thispaper, a more detailed maintenance plan for a 2 MW WT has been developed. The paper’s focus is to minimize aWT’s maintenance cost based on a WT’s reliability model. This study uses a two-layer optimization framework:Fibonacci and genetic algorithm. The first layer in the optimization method (Fibonacci) finds the optimal numberof PM required for the system. In the second layer, the optimal times for preventative maintenance and optimalcomponents to maintain have been determined to minimize maintenance costs. The Monte Carlo simulationestimates WT component failure times using their lifetime distributions from the reliability model. The estimatedfailure times are then used to determine the overall corrective and PM costs during the system’s lifetime. Finally,an optimal PM schedule is proposed for a 2 MW WT using the presented method. The method used in this papercan be expanded to a wind farm or similar engineering systems.展开更多

文摘In this work,a comparative study is performed to investigate the influence of time-varying normal forces on the friction properties and friction-induced stick-slip vibration(FIV)by experimental and theoretical methods.In the experiments,constant and harmonic-varying normal forces are applied,respectively.The measured vibration signals under two loading forms are compared in both time and frequency domains.In addition,mathematical tools such as phase space reconstruction and Fourier spectra are used to reveal the science behind the complicated dynamic behavior.It can be found that the friction system shows steady stick-slip vibration,and the main frequency does not vary with the magnitude of the constant normal force,but the size of limit cycle increases with the magnitude of the constant normal force.In contrast,the friction system under the harmonic normal force shows complicated behavior,for example,higher-frequency larger-amplitude vibration occurs and looks chaotic as the frequency of the normal force increases.The interesting findings offer a new way for controlling FIV in engineering applications.
文摘This work presents a novel wavelet-based denoising technique for improving the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of nonsteady vibration signals in hardware redundant systems.The proposed method utilizes the relationship between redundant hardware components to effectively separate fault-related components from the vibration signature,thus enhancing fault detection accuracy.The study evaluates the proposed technique on two mechanically identical subsystems that are simultaneously controlled under the same speed and load inputs,with and without the proposed denoising step.The results demonstrate an increase in detection accuracy when incorporating the proposed denoising method into a fault detection system designed for hardware redundant machinery.This work is original in its application of a new method for improving performance when using residual analysis for fault detection in hardware redundant machinery configurations.Moreover,the proposed methodology is applicable to nonstationary equipment that experiences changes in both speed and load.

文摘Machine learning,especially deep learning,has been highly successful in data-intensive applications;however,the performance of these models will drop significantly when the amount of the training data amount does not meet the requirement.This leads to the so-called few-shot learning(FSL)problem,which requires the model rapidly generalize to new tasks that containing only a few labeled samples.In this paper,we proposed a new deep model,called deep convolutional meta-learning networks,to address the low performance of generalization under limited data for bearing fault diagnosis.The essential of our approach is to learn a base model from the multiple learning tasks using a support dataset and finetune the learnt parameters using few-shot tasks before it can adapt to the new learning task based on limited training data.The proposed method was compared to several FSL methods,including methods with and without pre-training the embedding mapping,and methods with finetuning the classifier or the whole model by utilizing the few-shot data from the target domain.The comparisons are carried out on 1-shot and 10-shot tasks using the Case Western Reserve University bearing dataset and a cylindrical roller bearing dataset.The experimental result illustrates that our method has good performance on the bearing fault diagnosis across various few-shot conditions.In addition,we found that the pretraining process does not always improve the prediction accuracy.

文摘Maintenance scheduling is essential and crucial for wind turbines (WTs) to avoid breakdowns andreduce maintenance costs. Many maintenance models have been developed for WTs’ maintenance planning, suchas corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance. Due to communities’ dependence on WTs for electricityneeds, preventive maintenance is the most widely used method for maintenance scheduling. The downside tousing this approach is that preventive maintenance (PM) is often done in fixed intervals, which is inefficient. In thispaper, a more detailed maintenance plan for a 2 MW WT has been developed. The paper’s focus is to minimize aWT’s maintenance cost based on a WT’s reliability model. This study uses a two-layer optimization framework:Fibonacci and genetic algorithm. The first layer in the optimization method (Fibonacci) finds the optimal numberof PM required for the system. In the second layer, the optimal times for preventative maintenance and optimalcomponents to maintain have been determined to minimize maintenance costs. The Monte Carlo simulationestimates WT component failure times using their lifetime distributions from the reliability model. The estimatedfailure times are then used to determine the overall corrective and PM costs during the system’s lifetime. Finally,an optimal PM schedule is proposed for a 2 MW WT using the presented method. The method used in this papercan be expanded to a wind farm or similar engineering systems.

文摘Rolling bearing is the key part of mechanical system.Accurate prediction of bearing life can reduce maintenance costs,improve availability,and prevent catastrophic consequences,aiming at solving the problem of the nonlinear,random and small sample problems faced by rolling bearings in actual operating conditions.In this work,the nonlinearWiener process with random effect and unbiased estimation of unknown parameters is used to predict the remaining useful life of rolling bearings.Firstly,random effects and nonlinear parameters are added to the traditional Wiener process,and a parameter unbiased estimation method is used to estimate the positional parameters of the constructed Wiener model.Finally,the model is validated using a common set of bearing datasets.Experimental results show that compared with the traditional maximum likelihood function estimation method,the parameter unbiased estimation method can effectively improve the accuracy and stability of the parameter estimation results.The model has a good fitting effect,which can accurately predict the remaining useful life of rolling bearing.
