Summary:The capability of deep learning (DL) techniques for dealing with non-linear, dynamic and correlated data has paved the way for DL-based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD). Among them, autoencoders (AEs) have shown their potential to serve as the fault detection network. However, misclassifying faulty samples that share similar patterns to normal samples is a common drawback of AEs. In this work, a source-aware autoencoder (SAAE) is proposed as an extension of AEs to incorporate faulty samples in the training stage. In SAAE, flexibility in tuning recall and precision trade-off, ability to detect unseen faults and applicability in imbalanced data sets are achieved. Bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) with skip connections SAAE is designed as the structure of the fault detection network. Further, a deep network with BiLSTM and residual neural network (ResNet) is proposed for the subsequent fault diagnosis step to avoid randomness imposed by the order of the input features. A framework for combining fault detection and fault diagnosis networks is also presented without the assumption of having a perfect fault detection network. A comprehensive comparison among relevant existing techniques in the literature and SAAE-ResNet is also conducted on the Tennessee-Eastman process, which shows the superiority of the proposed FDD method.
