A sensor working in outdoor may generate some faulty signal owing to dust and high temperature. This paper describes an intelligent sensor system and controller which has a reconstruction mechanism for faulty signal. The faulty signals are dievided into two types as linear distortion and non linear distortion, respectively. The linear distorted signal is due to dust, and non linear distorted signal is due to physical breakdown of sensor or high temperature. These distorted signal have been reconstructed by the proposed method based on polynomial regression method and principal component analysis approach.. The proposed method has been applied to sun tracking system working in outdoor. For a robust and precision control of sun tracker, a fuzzy controller was also proposed. The fuzzy controller controls the tracker by using the collected sensor signal. The tolerance of the position control is within 1.5 degree. To show the validity of the developed system, some experiments in the field were illustrated.

In the case of the fault in stator windings of a high voltage motor. it facilitates certain destructive characteristics in insulations. This will result in a decreased reliability in power supplies and will prevent the generation of electricity, which will result in huge economic losses. This study simulates motor windings using normal windings and four faulty windings for an actual fault in stator winding of a high voltage motor. The partial discharge signals produced in each faulty winding were measured using an 80 PF epoxy/mica coupler sensor. In order to quantified signal waves its a way of feature extraction for each faulty signal, the signal wave of winding was quantified to measure the degree of skewness shape and kurtosis, which are both types of statistical parameters, using a discrete wavelet transformation method for each faulty type. Wave types present different types lot each faulty type, and the skewness and kurtosis also present different quantified values. The result of feature extraction was used as a preprocessing stage to identify a certain fault in stater windings. It is evident that the type of faulty signals can be classified from the test results using faulty signals that were randomly selected from the signal, which was not applied in the training after the training and learning period, by applying it to a back-propagation algorithm due to the supervising and learning method in a neural network in order to classify the faulty type. This becomes an important basis for studying diagnosis methods using the classification of faulty signals with a feature extraction algorithm, which can diagnose the fault of stator windings in the future.

Collaboration in wireless sensor networks must be fault-tolerant due to the harsh environmental conditions in which such networks can be deployed. This paper focuses on finding signal processing algorithms for collaborative target detection based on the generalized approach to signal processing in the presence of noise that are efficient in terms of communication cost, precision, accuracy, and number of faulty sensors tolerable in the wireless sensor network. Two algorithms, namely, value fusion and decision fusion constructed according to the generalized approach to signal processing in the presence of noise, are identified first. When comparing their performance and communication overhead, decision fusion is found to become superior to value fusion as the ratio of faulty sensors to fault free sensors increases. The use of the generalized approach to signal processing in the presence of noise under designing value and decision fusion algorithms in wireless sensor networks allows us to obtain the same performance, but at low values of signal energy, as under the employment of universally adopted signal processing algorithms widely used in practice.

본 연구에서는 공장 내부의 설비의 동작의 이상 유무를 저가의 센서를 사용하여 모니터링하고 이를 확인할 수 있도록 하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 저가의 센서들은 저렴한 비용으로 넓은 장소에 다량의 기기들에 설치할 수 있다는 장점을 가지지만 센서의 오작동 및 센서의 정확성 문제로 정확한 감시와 확인이 어려워진다는 단점을 가진다. 따라서 저가의 센서를 사용하게 되면 생산설비에서 발생하는 데이터로부터 이상 값을 구분하여 이상상황에 대한 센서의 오작동인지 또는 설비의 고장인지 여부를 판단하고 이를 알람을 통해 확인할 수 있는 모니터링 시스템이 필수로 구축되어야 한다. 본 연구에서 우리는 저가의 센서들에서 감지된 정상 범위를 벗어나는 데이터 값에서 센서의 오작동과 설비의 고장여부를 구분할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였으며 이를 위해 우리는 가중이동 평균법과 푸리에 변환 기반 신호 검증 시스템을 혼합한 시스템을 설계 구현하였다. 이를 통해 설비에서 정상범위를 벗어나는 값들이 감지되는 경우 이들을 기기의 이상과 센서의 이상 상황으로 구분할 수 있도록 하였으며 실험결과 전체 이상 신호 값 중에 1/3에 해당하는 부분을 센서의 이상 상황으로 분류 정상처리하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 우리는 모니터링 시스템의 구축 비용 절감을 위해 정보를 무선통신으로 전송하도록 하였으며 작동 센싱 정보들을 비정형 데이터로 구현 처리하도록 하여 다수의 센서에서 수집된 대규모의 정보들을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있도록 하였다.

This paper proposes a fault detection system to detect the strip rupture in six-high stand Cold Rolling Mills based on transient current signal of an electrical motor. For this work, signal smoothing technique is used to highlight precise feature between normal and fault condition. Subtracting the smoothed signal from the original signal gives the residuals that contains the information related to the normal or faulty condition. Using residual signal, discrete wavelet transform is performed and acquire the signal presenting fault feature well. Also, feature extraction and classification are executed by using PCA, KPCA and SVM. The actual data is acquired from POSCO for validating the proposed method.

In the recent years, femtocell technology has received a considerable attention due to the ability to provide an efficient indoor wireless coverage as well as enhanced capacity. However, under the spectrum sharing between femtocell user equipment (FUEs) and the owner of spectrum macrocell user equipment (MUEs), both may experience higher uplink interference to each other. This paper proposes a novel distributed power control algorithm for the interference management in two-tier femtocell networks. Due to the assignment of licensed radio frequency to the outdoor macrocell users, the access priority of MUEs should be higher than FUEs. In addition, the quality of service (QoS) of MUEs that is expressed in the target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) must always be achieved. On the other hand, we consider an efficient QoS provisioning cost function for the low-tier FUEs. The proposed algorithm requires only local information and converges even in cases where the frontiers of available power serve the target SINRs impossible. The advantage of the algorithm is the ability to implement in a distributed manner. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm based on our cost function provides effective resource allocation and substantial power saving as compared to the traditional algorithms.

The paper proposes a hierarchical fault detection method for the high voltage equipment using a microphone array which detects the location of fault and the thermal imaging and CCD cameras which verifies the fault and stores the image, respectively. There are partial arc discharges on the faulty insulators, which generates a specific pattern of sound. Detecting the signal using the microphone array, the location of the faulty insulator can be estimated. The 6th band-pass filter was applied to remove noise signal from wind or external influence. When the mobile robot carries the thermal and CCD cameras to the possible place of the fault insulator, the fault insulators or power transmission wires can be detected by the thermal images, which are caused by the aging or natural erosion. Finally, the CCD camera captures the image of the fault insulator for the record. The detection scheme of fault location using the microphone array and the thermal images have been proved to be effective through the real experiments. As a result of this research, it becomes possible to use a mobile robot with the integrated sensors to detect the fault insulators instead of a human being.

In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant control system for the position control and vibration suppression of a flexible arm robot. The proposed control system has a strain gauge sensor signal observer based on a reaction force observer and detects a fault by monitoring an estimated error. In order to improve the estimation accuracy, the plant parameters included in the sensor signal observer are updated by using the strain gauge sensor signal in normal time through the adaptive law. After fault detection, the proposed control system exchanges the faulty sensor signal for the estimated one and switches to a fault mode controller so as to maintain the stability and the control performance. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed control system through several experiments.
