Abstract EN
This paper proposes a combined method of ant-based clustering and cerebellar model articulation controller for performance assessment for a fleet of machines.
A novel ant-based clustering algorithm with kernel method is used to cluster machines in a fleet.
The algorithm has two features.
First, a projection based on kernel principal component analysis replaces random projection to improve the efficiency.
Second, the clustering is performed on the feature space after kernel mapping to improve the clustering accuracy.
The algorithm can cluster machines in a self-organizing way to achieve the horizontal assessment.
The vertical assessment for the single machine based on CMAC is presented.
Then, how to combine the vertical and horizontal assessment results is discussed.
The outlier mining method to detect abnormal machines based on the clustering results is also proposed.
Cluster-based global outlying factor is suggested to measure the outlying degree of abnormal machine.
Finally, the case study on axial fans shows that the combined method can give a more comprehensive assessment for fans’ performance monitoring.
