The Diagnosis and Recovery of Faults in the Workshop Environmental Control System Sensor Network Based on Medium-to-Long-Term Predictions

For the fault issues in the workshop environmental control system sensor network, a fault diagnosis and recovery method based on medium-to-long-term predictions is proposed. Firstly, a temperature observer based on the Informer model is established. Then, the predicted data temporarily replaces the missing real data, and the model predicts the state of the sensor system within the step size. Secondly, the predicted data is combined with the measured temperature series, and residuals are utilized for real-time detection of sensor faults. Finally, the predicted data at the time of the fault replaces the real data, enabling the recovery of fault data; experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results indicate that when the prediction horizon is 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50, the average fault diagnosis rates under four fault levels are 94.40%, 95.28%, 94.79%, 92.52%, and 93.35%, respectively. The average coefficients of determination for data recovery are 0.999, 0.997, 0.995, 0.985, and 0.915, respectively. This achieves medium-to-long-term predictions in the field of sensor fault diagnosis.
