Resumen

There are hundreds of various sensors used for online Prognosis and Health Management (PHM) of LREs. Inspired by the fact that a limited number of key sensors are selected for inflight control purposes in LRE, it is practical to optimal placement of redundant sensors for improving the diagnosability and economics of PHM systems. To strike a balance between sensor cost, real-time performance and diagnosability of the fault diagnosis algorithm in LRE, this paper proposes a novel Optimal Sensor Placement (OSP) method. Firstly, a Kernel Extreme Learning Machine-based (KELM) two-stage diagnosis algorithm is developed based on a system-level failure simulation model of LRE. Secondly, hierarchical diagnosability metrics are constructed to formulate the OSP problem in this paper. Thirdly, a Hierarchy Ranking Evolutionary Algorithm-based (HREA) two-stage OSP method is developed, achieving further optimization of Pareto solutions by the improved hypervolume indicator. Finally, the proposed method is validated using failure simulation datasets and hot-fire test-run experiment datasets. Additionally, four classical binary multi-objective optimization algorithms are introduced for comparison. The testing results demonstrate that the HREA-based OSP method outperforms other classical methods in effectively balancing the sensor cost, real-time performance and diagnosability of the diagnosis algorithm. The proposed method in this paper implements system-level OSP for LRE fault diagnosis and exhibits the potential for application in the development of reusable LREs.
