Residual life prediction for complex systems with multi-phase degradation by ARMA-filtered hidden Markov model
2019
AbstractThe performance of certain critical complex systems, such as the power output of ground photovoltaic (PV) modules or spacecraft solar arrays, exhibits a multi-phase degradation pattern due to the redundant structure. This pattern shows a degradation trend with multiple jump points, which are mixed effects of two failure modes: a soft mode of continuous smooth degradation and a hard mode of abrupt failure. Both modes need to be modeled jointly to predict the system residual life. In this paper, an autoregressive moving average model-filtered hidden Markov model is proposed to fit the multi-phase degradation data with unknown number of jump points, together with an iterative algorithm for parameter estimation. The comprehensive algorithm is composed of non-linear least-square method, recursive extended least-square method, and expectation–maximization algorithm to handle different parts of the model. The proposed methodology is applied to a specific PV module system with simulated performance measur...
