[0003] Traditional equipment maintenance relies primarily on scheduled inspections and post-failure repairs, which present numerous problems. Equipment failure predictions are inaccurate, with no early warnings, leading to frequent unplanned downtime. Maintenance strategies lack specificity, often relying on scheduled maintenance, resulting in wasted maintenance resources. Equipment health assessments rely on a single parameter, failing to fully reflect the equipment's actual operating status. Accurate predictions of the equipment's remaining useful life are lacking, making it impossible to formulate scientific maintenance plans. Monitoring data for each device is independent, failing to fully utilize the interconnected information across multiple devices.

[0004] The existing equipment monitoring systems based on the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence have limitations. The sensor types are single and only monitor a few parameters such as temperature and vibration, making it difficult to fully capture changes in equipment status; the data processing methods are simple, mainly relying on threshold judgment and simple statistical analysis, and lack the ability to model complex nonlinear relationships; the prediction model has limited accuracy and is difficult to adapt to different equipment types and operating environments; the system has poor scalability, making it difficult to achieve knowledge sharing and model optimization among multiple devices.

[0005] In terms of market demand, with the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the development of intelligent manufacturing, predictive maintenance has become a key technology for improving equipment reliability and production efficiency. In manufacturing industries such as steel, automotive, and electronics, equipment failures result in significant downtime and losses, creating an urgent need for equipment health monitoring and fault prediction.

[0137] The present invention utilizes the above-mentioned modules to realize the monitoring of the health status and life prediction of industrial equipment. It can be applied to many fields such as manufacturing, energy industry, transportation, medical equipment and intelligent buildings. It can effectively reduce the unplanned downtime of equipment, improve equipment utilization, reduce maintenance costs and extend the service life of equipment.

[0138] The following example illustrates the lifespan prediction and maintenance of steam turbine generator sets in thermal power plants. For these turbine generator sets, multimodal sensors include not only conventional temperature, vibration, and current sensors, but also differential pressure sensors, speed sensors, and turbine efficiency monitoring devices. High-temperature, high-pressure components, such as the turbine inlet valve, bearing housing, and generator stator windings, utilize high-temperature sensors to obtain reliable monitoring data even under extreme operating conditions.

[0139] An online gas chromatograph is used to monitor the dissolved gas components in transformer oil in real time, including the concentrations of hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), ethylene (C2H4), and acetylene (C2H2). Gas ratio analysis is used to predict potential transformer faults. Transformer oil analysis data is integrated with other sensor data using an uncertainty fusion algorithm:

[0140]

[0141] in, It is around the expected value The normal cloud model, is entropy, It is super entropy. is the weight coefficient.

[0142] In the feature extraction module, based on the characteristics of the vibration data of the power generation equipment, the wavelet packet transform is used to perform multi-resolution analysis on the vibration signal, and the frequency characteristics are extracted using the following formula:

[0143]

[0144] in, represents the wavelet energy coefficient, Is the signal on scale and location The wavelet coefficients at and Represent the number of decomposition layers and node numbers respectively, is the integral differential, It is a modular operation.

[0145] To address the issue of declining steam turbine efficiency, the relative efficiency index is calculated using an efficiency evaluation model based on the entropy method:

[0146]

[0147] in, represents the relative efficiency index, is a parameter The membership function of is the number of parameters, is the weight coefficient, which is calculated by entropy method. In the steam turbine scenario, key operating indicators are mapped item by item, including main steam pressure, main steam temperature, reheat steam temperature, extraction / exhaust pressure, feed water temperature, steam flow or heat rate, bearing and blade vibration amplitude, speed deviation and axial displacement, and lubricating oil temperature / pressure.

[0148] In the health status assessment module, a method combining fault tree analysis and Bayesian networks is used to construct a probabilistic graphical model containing 95 nodes, targeting the characteristics of steam turbine generator sets. Through structural mapping, the top event in the fault tree is converted into the root node of the Bayesian network, covering the possible failure modes of the generator set. Among them, the intermediate event is used as the intermediate node, and the bottom event is used as the leaf node. Each node corresponds to a Boolean variable representing the device status. In the logic gate conversion rule, the AND gate sets the child node to fail when all parent nodes fail. Its conditional probability expression is:

[0149]

[0150] For the OR gate, it is assumed that when any parent node fails, the child node must also fail. Its conditional probability expression is:

[0151]

[0152] Here, 1 indicates that the Boolean value is 1, that is, the state is faulty; 0 indicates that the Boolean value is 0, that is, the state is normal.

[0153] The construction of the conditional probability table uses the Leaky Noisy-OR model to deal with uncertainty:

[0154]

[0155] in, Indicates the reason The weight that causes the failure. In the probability update, the variational inference algorithm is used:

[0156]

[0157] in, represents the optimized latent variable variational distribution, is a hidden variable, It means "proportional to", that is, the proportional relationship after ignoring the normalization constant. Indicates except Other hidden variables ( ) takes the expectation, is the observed variable, is a joint probability distribution. Variational inference provides a way to integrate the "health vector learned by the network" and the "Cox risk function" into the same training framework, allowing them to be jointly optimized end-to-end.

[0158] In the life prediction module, based on the long-term operating characteristics of the steam turbine generator set, the equipment life curve is divided into three stages: healthy period, degradation period, and failure period. Different prediction models are used for each stage. Among them, the Wiener process model is used to describe the equipment performance degradation trajectory in the degradation period:

[0159]

[0160] in, Indicates time The performance degradation of Indicates the initial performance status value, is the drift coefficient, is the diffusion coefficient, is the standard Brownian motion. The drift coefficient in the degradation phase is , diffusion coefficient The hidden vector of the hybrid network By using linear head prediction, parameter sharing is achieved. When approaching the threshold, the system switches to the RUL distribution prediction mode, and the hybrid network outputs the complete remaining life probability.

[0161] This embodiment was verified for 12 months on a 600MW generator set at a large thermal power plant. It successfully predicted potential faults such as cracks in the steam turbine inlet valve stem, aging of the generator stator winding insulation, and contamination of the bearing lubricating oil. The average early warning lead time reached 15 days, with an accuracy rate of 94.7%. During this period, it helped the power plant reduce unplanned equipment downtime by 78%, effectively improving the operational reliability and economy of the generator set. Especially during the two high-load power generation periods during the flood season, the system avoided emergency shutdowns due to sudden failures by adjusting the maintenance plan in real time, saving the power plant approximately 5.5 million yuan in maintenance costs and extending the overhaul cycle of the generator set from the standard 18-month maintenance cycle to 24 months.

[0162] Furthermore, the forecasting model was continuously optimized during operation, adaptively adjusting for the impact of seasonal load fluctuations and ambient temperature on equipment performance. This reduced the average absolute error of the forecasting model from an initial 7.8% to 3.2%. Federated learning with other power plants on the grid enabled the sharing of equipment operating experience and failure cases, further improving the model's generalization and forecasting accuracy.

[0167] 2) Use the feature extraction module to extract features from multi-source equipment operation data, and then use the data fusion module to fuse the extracted features to generate the equipment health status feature vector;

[0168] The feature extraction module uses a multi-scale feature extraction method to extract features, and the features include:

[0174] 3) Use the health status assessment module to analyze feature vectors, evaluate the current health status of the device, and predict the change trend in the next 12-24 hours;

[0175] The health status assessment module uses a hybrid model that combines a deep neural network with survival analysis. The neural network structure includes an input layer (64 neurons), three hidden layers (128, 256, and 128 neurons, respectively, using Reluctant Unit (ReLU) activation function), and an output layer (equipment health score). The health status assessment model integrates historical equipment maintenance records, operating parameters, and environmental factors, achieving a 95% health status assessment accuracy and providing a 24-48 hour warning lead time.

[0176] 4) Based on the equipment's historical operating data and current status data, the life prediction module is used to predict the equipment's remaining service life and generate maintenance recommendations based on the prediction results;

[0177] The life prediction module adopts a hybrid architecture of LSTM and Transformer. The LSTM layer is used to capture time series features, and the Transformer layer is used to model long-term dependencies. The life prediction model input includes equipment operating parameters, maintenance records, environmental data and historical failure data, and the output is the probability distribution of the remaining service life of the equipment. The prediction model has a mean absolute error of less than 5% on the test set and can predict equipment failures 7-14 days in advance.

[0178] 5) Use the model optimization module to optimize the life prediction model.

[0179] The model optimization module uses federated learning technology to achieve knowledge sharing among multiple devices and optimize the lifespan prediction model. It establishes a knowledge base for equipment health status, which includes failure modes, maintenance strategies, and optimization solutions.
