Abstract

A model-based and data-driven-based aero-engine component fault fusion diagnosis method is presented in this paper. The extreme learning machine (ELM) is used to the data-driven-based component fault diagnosis. However, the ELM input weights and hidden layer biases are generated randomly, which usually leads to more nodes in the hidden layer and poor generalization ability. To overcome these drawbacks of ELM, an improved differential evolution (IDE) is used to optimize the input weights and the hidden layer biases. The optimization is carried out according to the root mean squared error (RMSE) of the validation set and the norm of the output weights. Meantime, singular value decomposition (SVD)-based Reduced-dimensional Kalman (SVD-Kalman) filters are used to estimate the health parameters which can solve the problem of limited number of sensors in the model based diagnosis method. To improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis for an aero-engine component, the prediction results of health parameters based on both methods are fused by the improved recursive reduced least squares support vector regression (IRR-LSSVR). Simulation results show that compared with either the model-based or data-driven-based approach, the proposed fusion method improves the accuracy of fault diagnosis significantly.
