Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the advent of advanced data analytics and machine learning algorithms, industries across various sectors are leveraging these technologies to optimize maintenance practices and enhance operational safety. Machine learning has become an essential tool for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring. It enables the proactive identification of potential equipment failures, facilitates data-driven decision making, reduces downtime, and optimizes maintenance schedules, which can both enhance operational safety and reduce maintenance costs.

This Special Issue aims to explore the state of the art in machine learning for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring. We encourage the submission of original research articles, reviews, and short communications focused on the integration of machine learning into predictive maintenance strategies. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Industrial big data analysis and data mining;
  2. Intelligent fault detection and diagnosis of machines;
  3. Prognostics and health management of mechanical systems;
  4. Real-time condition monitoring and anomaly detection;
  5. Deep learning approaches for predictive maintenance;
  6. Industrial applications of machine learning-based maintenance strategies;
  7. Intelligent decision making for maintenance optimization;
  8. Predictive and forecasting techniques for equipment reliability;
  9. Sensor fusion and data preprocessing techniques in predictive maintenance.

This paper introduces a sophisticated approach for identifying and categorizing broken rotor bars in direct torque-controlled (DTC) induction motors. DTC is implemented in industrial drive systems as a suitable control method to preserve torque control performance, which sometimes shows its impact on fault-representing frequencies. This is because of the DTC’s closed-loop control nature, whichtriesto reduce speed and torque ripples by changing the voltage profile. The proposed model utilizes the modified Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) technique in combination with gradient-boosting decision trees (GBDT) to detect and classify the abnormalities in BRBs at diverse (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) loading conditions. To prevent overfitting of the proposed model, we used the adaptive fold cross-validation (AF-CV) technique, which can dynamically adjust the number of folds during the optimization process. By employing extensive feature engineering in the original dataset and then applying Shapely Additive exPlanations(SHAP)-based feature selection, our methodology effectively identifies informative features from signals (three-phase current, three-phase voltage, torque, and speed) and motor characteristics. The gradient-boosting decision tree (GBDT) classifier, trained using the given characteristics, extracts consistent and reliable classification performance under different loading circumstances and enables precise and accurate detection and classification of broken rotor bars. The proposed approach (SHAP-Fusion GBDT with AF-CV) is a major advancement in the field of machine learning in detecting motor anomalies at varying loading conditions and proved to be an effective mechanism for preventative maintenance and preventing faults in DTC-controlled induction motors byattaining an accuracy rate of 99% for all loading conditions.
