Abstract

Owing to the fact that large-scale peak-load-regulation nuclear power turbine units' thermal signal is greatly influenced by background noise and has non-stationary and nonlinear characteristics, this paper proposes a new fault diagnosis method for thermal sensors based on an improved independent component analysis (Improved-ICA) algorithm and random forest (RF) algorithm. This method is based on independent component analysis (ICA), which is not capable of extracting components independently. Therefore, we propose the use of the maximum approximate information negative entropy optimization model in order to improve the ICA algorithm's independent principal component extraction ability and obtain better non-Gaussian physical source signal separation results. The improved ICA algorithm is used for the blind source separation of the thermal parameters of peak-load-regulation nuclear power units. A series of stationary physical source functions and a series of non-stationary noise signals are obtained. Then, according to the specific signal format and data volume of the nuclear power parameter signal, the network parameters of the random forest algorithm are determined, giving rise to the fault diagnosis model. Finally, the real-time operation data of an 1121 MW nuclear power unit are used to complete the training and fault diagnosis of the random forest network and analyze the diagnosis results. The results indicate that the model can effectively mine the abnormal sample points of thermal parameters and classify the fault type of the thermal sensor during peak load operation of the nuclear power unit. The accuracy rate is found to be at the threshold of 99%.
