Systems and methods are provided to retrieve or analyze usage data collected from a device or a facility where the device, optionally with devices are located, and identify useful features for making a diagnosis of the device. The diagnosis can be made before a system failure to reduce down time and inefficient use of the device, or after the system failure to expedite and facilitate diagnosis and repair. In addition to the usage data, such as energy and resource consumption, the system can also obtain information relating to the facility and the device's external environment which can be used for normalizing the usage data. Further, based on the diagnosis, the system can make suitable recommendations for repair, replacement, maintenance and upgrade.

Method of Fault Monitoring of Sewage Treatment Process Based on OICA and RNN Fusion Model

The invent relates to an intelligent fault monitoring method based on high-order information enhanced recurrent neural network, for real-time fault monitoring of sewage treatment process. The invent includes two phases of offline modeling and online monitoring. In offline phase, the original data is extracted into high-dimensional high-order information features using OCIA, which can effectively deal with the non Gaussian feature of the data and solve the correlation between variables. Then the extracted features are trained by DRNN. In the online phase, the data are directly mapped to new high-order feature components, and to be discriminated in category by the DRNN network after trained offline. If there is no fault, then the results get into the monitoring model composed of simple OICA for unsupervised monitoring. If no fault is detected, it is determined that there is no fault in the process. On the contrary, the process fault is determined, and the fault information will be added to the training data of the network for training, so as to continuously improve the monitoring accuracy of DRNN.
