Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of multi-scale time series feature extraction of industrial process data, a fault detection method based on feature fusion and temporal convolutional autoencoder was proposed. Firstly, the multi-layer temporal convolutional network structure was used to extract features from the input time series at different scales, and a multi-scale temporal convolutional autoencoder was constructed. Secondly, a feature fusion module based on efficient channel attention was designed, which was added to the temporal convolutional autoencoder through jump joining and connected the temporal series features of different scales across channels. It generated corresponding weights to weight and fuse the features, so as to capture richer temporal information and enhance the model’s discrimination between normal sequence and abnormal sequence reconstruction error. Finally, the statistics were established by reconstructing the error, and the kernel density estimation was used to determine the control limit to realize fault detection. The proposed detection method is applied to numerical cases and Tennessee-Eastman process, and the experimental results show that the proposed method has good fault detection performance, which can provide a certain reference for fault detection in complex industrial processes.
