Abstract
Deep learning (DL), regarded as a breakthrough machine learning technique, has proven to be effective for a variety of real-world applications. However, DL has not been actively applied to condition monitoring of industrial assets, such as gas turbine combustors. We propose a deep semi-supervised anomaly detection (deepSSAD) that has two key components: (1) using DL to learn representations or features from multivariate, time-series sensor measurements; and (2) using one-class classification to model normality in the learned feature space, thus performing anomaly detection. Both steps use normal data only; thus our anomaly detection falls into the semi-supervised anomaly detection category, which is advantageous for industrial asset condition monitoring where abnormal or faulty data is rare. Using the data collected from a real-world gas turbine combustion system, we demonstrate that our proposed approach achieved a good detection performance (AUC) of 0.9706 ± 0.0029. Furthermore, we compare the detection performance of the proposed approach against that of other different designs, including different features (i.e., the deep learned, handcrafted and PCA features) and different detection models (i.e., one-class ELM, one-class SVM, isolation forest, and Gaussian mixture model). The proposed approach significantly outperforms others. The proposed combustor anomaly detection approach is effective in detecting combustor anomalies or faults.

We also tried using more layers of SDAE, but we could not obtain better features in terms of detection performance. Our hypothesis is that 2-layer SDAE is sufficient for capturing normal “patterns” of the 27-dimensional TC profiles concerned in this study.
