Improving training efficiency for scalable automated fault detection and diagnosis in chilled water plants by transfer learning

Shohei Miyata et al.

Summary: Automated fault detection and diagnosis (AFDD) is crucial for improving the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems. The authors proposed an AFDD method using a fault dataset created by simulation, but it is difficult to apply to different systems due to substantial computation time required. This study focused on transfer learning and found that reducing the fault dataset and re-training a CNN with only some parameters can achieve reasonable diagnostic performance with significantly reduced computation time.
