• Abstract summary: Faults in HVAC systems degrade thermal comfort and energy efficiency in buildings. Lack of labeled data, such as normal versus faulty operational status, has slowed the application of machine learning to HVAC systems. We present a transfer methodology for a novel Bayesian classifier designed to distinguish between normal operations and faulty operations.

• Abstract: Faults in HVAC systems degrade thermal comfort and energy efficiency in buildings and have received significant attention from the research community, with data driven methods gaining in popularity. Yet the lack of labeled data, such as normal versus faulty operational status, has slowed the application of machine learning to HVAC systems. In addition, for any particular building, there may be an insufficient number of observed faults over a reasonable amount of time for training. To overcome these challenges, we present a transfer methodology for a novel Bayesian classifier designed to distinguish between normal operations and faulty operations. The key is to train this classifier on a building with a large amount of sensor and fault data (for example, via simulation or standard test data) then transfer the classifier to a new building using a small amount of normal operations data from the new building. We demonstrate a proof-of-concept for transferring a classifier between architecturally similar buildings in different climates and show few samples are required to maintain classification precision and recall.

  Real-time and accurate detecting of potential line failures is the first step to mitigating the extreme weather impact and activating emergency controls. Power balance equations nonlinearity, increased uncertainty in generation during extreme events, and lack of grid observability compromise the efficiency of traditional data-driven failure detection methods. This paper proposes a Physics-InformEd Line failure Detector (FIELD) that leverages grid topology information to reduce sample and time complexities and improve localization accuracy.

  A number of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems are deployed to monitor civil infrastructure. The data measured by the SHM systems tend to be affected by multiple anomalies caused by faulty or broken sensors. This paper proposes the use of a relatively new time series representation named Shapelet Transform to autonomously identify anomalies in SHM data.

  Anomaly Detectors are trained on healthy operating condition data and raise an alarm when the measured samples deviate from the training data distribution.

Our proposed framework is designed to transfer complementary operating conditions between different units in a completely unsupervised way to train more robust anomaly detectors.
