摘要:

针对飞机空调系统健康状态评价中物理信息、任务过程和环境应力关联弱导致的参数表征不完整、特征提取不完善和健康评价不准确问题,提出一种融合任务剖面与主成分分析-马氏距离(PCA-MD)的智能健康评价与退化预警方法,为航空装备复杂系统的智能健康评价提供一套通用的解决方案。首先,分析空调系统的功能结构与典型故障,构建包含整机级和系统级的健康表征参数体系,捕捉系统间的耦合失效特点;其次,分析飞行任务对空调系统的影响,设计基于任务剖面的健康参数谱,充分表达不同任务阶段健康参数的差异;再次,构建基于欧几里得范数的健康基线模型,综合考虑维修定检与环境变化对健康基线的影响;然后,提出基于PCA-MD的健康评价与退化预警方法,通过引入PCA解决健康指标构建中协方差矩阵不可逆和基于健康参数谱矩阵维度不一致的问题,实现健康指标的高效构建、健康状态的准确评价和性能退化的预警识别;最后,针对1 474个实际A320飞机空调系统的数据样本开展应用验证研究,比较结果验证了所提方法的有效性、实用性与优越性。

Abstract:

To address the problems of incomplete parameter characterization, imperfect feature extraction and inaccurate health evaluation caused by the weak correlation of physical information, mission process and environmental stress in the health state evaluation of aircraft air-conditioning system, this paper proposes an intelligent health evaluation and degradation warning method fusing mission profile and Principal Component Analysis-Mahalanobis Distance (PCA-MD) to provide a set of general solutions for intelligent health evaluation of aviation equipment complex systems. First, this paper analyses the functional structure and typical failures of the air conditioning system, constructs a health characterization parameter system including the total level and the system level, and captures the coupled failure characteristics of the systems. Second, the impact of the flight mission on the air conditioning system is analyzed to design a health parameter spectrum based on the mission profile, which fully expresses the differences of the health parameters in the different mission phases. Third, a health baseline model based on Euclidean paradigm is constructed, which can comprehensively consider the influence of maintenance and inspection, as well as the environmental changes on the health baseline. Fourth, a health evaluation and degradation early warning method based on PCA-MD is proposed, which resolves the problem of the irreversibility of the covariance matrix in the construction of the health indexes and the inconsistency of the dimensions of the matrix based on the spectrum of the health parameters through the introduction of PCA, so as to achieve the efficient construction of health indexes, accurate evaluation of health state and early warning identification of performance degradation. Finally, this paper carries out an application validation study on the 1 474 practical data samples of the air conditioning system of a A320 airplane. The comparative results have validated the feasibility, practicability, and superiority of the proposed method.
