Research on Fault Diagnosis Method of Thermal Power Generating Units Based on Process

摘要

At present, in the thermal power generating u-nits, most fault diagnosis methods of rotating machinery rely on extracting eigenvalue from the vibration waveform. The vibration waveform signal is the representation of the condition. If the fault occurs, under certain condition, it is possible that the fault information is not revealed in the vibration waveform, or submerged by other information. Under such circumstance, the fault diagnosis method based on the randomly extractive information of condition can not well differentiate these faults. However, the fault, in any case, is accompanied by some symptoms. Under a condition, the vibration information of the fault may appear decentralized and random, but when the whole process is taken into consideration , the rules stand out. To describe the rule of changes in the vibration process, this paper proposes a new diagnosis method based on the process, with the information entropy (IE) matrix as its identification index.
