Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of the traditional similarity-based remaining useful lifetime (RUL) prediction method does not consider the difference of operating conditions, which affects the accuracy of prediction and the scientific of components reserve strategy, an improved similarity-based RUL prediction and economic reserve strategy of equipment components is proposed. Based on the proposed improved similarity method, distinguishing the operating condition categories of equipment components, the RUL of the service components is predicted by the performance state similarity between the service components and the reference components in each category. Based on RUL prediction results, the economic reserve strategy decision model is established by taking the lowest total cost of equipment components maintenance and reserve as the objective and the resource utilization as the constraint. The differential evolution algorithm is used to optimize the model to obtain the optimal equipment components reserve strategy. The results of numerical example analysis show that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of the RUL prediction and the scientific of components reserve strategy, which has engineering application value.

Key words: remaining useful lifetime (RUL) prediction, reserve strategy, improved similarity, GA-BP (genetice algorithm-back propagation), differential evolution algorithm
