Article Synopsis
  • High-frequency (HF) signals are important for monitoring industrial assets, but traditional deep-learning tools often struggle with their size and complexity.
  • This paper presents a fully unsupervised deep-learning framework that extracts meaningful representations from raw HF signals by incorporating properties of the fast discrete wavelet transform (FDWT).
  • The proposed architecture is designed to be learnable, allowing for effective denoising and feature extraction without needing prior knowledge or additional processing, and it outperforms existing methods in various machine-learning tasks on sound datasets.

Article Synopsis
  • Reliable fault detection is essential for efficient industrial operations, but variations in condition monitoring data due to external factors and rare fault occurrences can lead to false alarms.
  • The proposed solution involves using contrastive learning with feature representation trained by triplet loss to improve fault detection and diagnostics, addressing issues from changing conditions and novel fault types.
  • Evaluation on the CWRU bearing benchmark dataset shows that the approach maintains invariance to operating condition changes while effectively detecting new types of faults.

Partial discharge (PD) is a common indication of faults in power systems, such as generators and cables. These PDs can eventually result in costly repairs and substantial power outages. PD detection traditionally relies on hand-crafted features and domain expertise to identify very specific pulses in the electrical current, and the performance declines in the presence of noise or of superposed pulses.
