Traditional expert systems for fault diagnosis have a bottleneck in knowledge acquisition, and have limitations in knowledge representation and reasoning. A new expert system shell for fault diagnosis is presented in this paper to develop multiple knowledge models (object model, rules, neural network, case-base and diagnose models) hierarchically based on multiple knowledge. The structure of the expert system shell and the knowledge representation of multiple models are described. Diagnostic algorithms are presented for automatic modeling and hierarchical reasoning. It will be shown that the expert system shell is very effective in building diagnostic expert systems.

The expanding use of photovoltaic (PV) systems as an alternative green source for electricity presents many challenges, one of which is the timely diagnosis of faults to maintain the quality and high productivity of such systems. In recent years, various studies have been conducted on the fault diagnosis of PV systems. However, very few instances of fault diagnostic techniques could be implemented on integrated circuits, and these techniques require costly and complex hardware. This work presents a novel and effective, yet small and implementable, fault diagnosis algorithm based on an artificial intelligent nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) neural network and Sugeno fuzzy inference. The algorithm uses Sugeno fuzzy inference to isolate and classify faults that may occur in a PV system. The fuzzy inference requires the actual sensed PV system output power, the predicted PV system output power, and the sensed surrounding conditions. An artificial intelligent NARX-based neural network is used to obtain the predicted PV system output power. The actual output power of the PV system and the surrounding conditions are obtained in real-time using sensors. The algorithm is proven to be implementable on a low-cost microcontroller. The obtained results indicate that the fault diagnosis algorithm can detect multiple faults such as open and short circuit degradation, faulty maximum power point tracking (MPPT), and conditions of partial shading (PS) that may affect the PV system. Moreover, radiation and temperature, among other non-linear associations of patterns between predictors, can be captured by the proposed algorithm to determine the accurate point of the maximum power for the PV system.

Background: The working state of electronic accelerator pedal directly affects the safety of vehicles and drivers. Effective fault detection and judgment for the working state of the accelerator pedal can prevent accidents. Methods: Aiming at different working conditions of electronic accelerator pedal, this paper used PNN and BP diagnosis model to detect the state of electronic accelerator pedal according to the principle and characteristics of PNN and BP neural network. The fault diagnosis test experiment of electronic accelerator pedal was carried out to get the data acquisition. Results: After the patents for electronic accelerator pedals are queried and used, the first measured voltage, the upper limit of first voltage, the first voltage lower limit, the second measured voltage, the upper limit of second voltage and the second voltage lower limit are tested to build up the data samples. Then the PNN and BP fault diagnosis models of electronic accelerator pedal are established. Six fault samples are defined through the design of electronic accelerator pedal fault classifier and the fault diagnosis processes are executed to test. Conclusion: The fault diagnosis results were analyzed and the comparisons between the PNN and the BP research results show that BP neural network is an effective method for fault detection of electronic throttle pedal, which is obviously superior to PNN neural network based on the experiment data.

To address deficiencies in the process of fault diagnosis of belt conveyor, this study uses a BP neural network algorithm combined with fuzzy theory to provide an intelligent fault diagnosis method for belt conveyor and to establish a BP neural network fault diagnosis model with a predictive function. Matlab is used to simulate the fuzzy BP neural network fault diagnosis of the belt conveyor. Results show that the fuzzy neural network can filter out unnecessary information; save time and space; and improve the fault diagnosis recognition, classification, and fault location capabilities of belt conveyor. The proposed model has high practical value for engineering.
