Hydraulic systems are a class of typical complex nonlinear systems, which have been widely used in manufacturing, metallurgy, energy, and other industries. Nowadays, the intelligent fault diagnosis problem of hydraulic systems has received increasing attention for it can increase operational safety and reliability, reduce maintenance cost, and improve productivity. However, because of the high nonlinear and strong fault concealment, the fault diagnosis of hydraulic systems is still a challenging task. Besides, the data samples collected from the hydraulic system are always in different sampling rates, and the coupling relationship between the components brings difficulties to accurate data acquisition. To solve the above issues, a deep learning model with multirate data samples is proposed in this article, which can extract features from the multirate sampling data automatically without expertise, thus it is more suitable in the industrial situation. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high diagnostic and fault pattern recognition accuracy even when the imbalance degree of sample data is as large as 1:100. Moreover, the proposed method can increase about 10% diagnosis accuracy when compared with some state-of-the-art methods.

Modern industrial processes often operate under different modes, which brings challenges to model predictive control (MPC). Recently, most MPC related methods would establish prediction models independently for different modes, which results in their control effect highly relying on switching strategies. Inspired by the powerful representation capabilities of deep learning, this article proposed a deep learning based MPC method. Specifically, the LSTM network is applied to predict behaviors of controlled system, which can automatically match different operation modes without switching strategy. Then combined with MPC framework, an adaptive gradient descent method is introduced to handle optimization problem and its constraints. In addition, stability and feasibility analysis have been conducted from the aspect of theory to ensure practical application of the proposed method. Experiments on a numerical simulation process and an industrial process platform show the strength and reliability of the proposed method, which reduces the overshoot by about 10 $\%$ compared to common learning-based MPC methods and improves the control accuracy effectively.

Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) are highly vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to their open deployment in unattended environments. Intrusion detection is an efficient solution to improve security. However, because the labeled samples are difficult to obtain, and the sample categories are imbalanced in real applications, it is difficult to obtain a reliable model. In this paper, a general framework for intrusion detection is proposed based on graph neural network technologies. In detail, a network embedding feature representation is proposed to deal with the high dimensional, redundant but categories imbalanced and rare labeled data in IIoT. To avoid the influence caused by the inaccurate network structure, a network constructor with refinement regularization is designed to amend it. At last, the network embedding representation weights and network constructor are trained together. The high accuracy and robust properties of the proposed method were verified by conducting intrusion detection tasks based on public datasets. Compared with several state-of-art algorithms, the proposed framework outperforms these methods in many evaluation metrics. In addition, a hard-in-the-loop platform is designed to test the performance in real environments. The results show that the method can not only identify different attacks but also distinguish between cyber-attacks and physical failures.

Most industrial systems frequently switch their operation modes due to various factors, such as the changing of raw materials, static parameter setpoints, and market demands. To guarantee stable and reliable operation of complex industrial processes under different operation modes, the monitoring strategy has to adapt different operation modes. In addition, different operation modes usually have some common patterns. To address these needs, this article proposes a structure dictionary learning-based method for multimode process monitoring. In order to validate the proposed approach, extensive experiments were conducted on a numerical simulation case, a continuous stirred tank heater (CSTH) process, and an industrial aluminum electrolysis process, in comparison with several state-of-the-art methods. The results show that the proposed method performs better than other conventional methods. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed approach overcomes the assumption that each operation mode of industrial processes should be modeled separately. Therefore, it can effectively detect faulty states. It is worth to mention that the proposed method can not only detect the faulty of the data but also classify the modes of normal data to obtain the operation conditions so as to adopt an appropriate control strategy.

Data-driven process monitoring methods have attracted many attentions and gained wide applications. However, the real industrial process data are much more complex which is characterized by multimode, high dimensional, corrupted, and less labeled data. In order to eliminate these unfavourable factors simultaneously, a semisupervised robust projective and discriminative dictionary learning method is proposed. First, a semisupervised strategy is introduced to label unsupervised training data. Then, by utilizing low-rank and sparse features of raw data and outliers, a robust decomposition method is used to obtain clean data. After that, a simultaneously projective and discriminative model is proposed to extracting the feature of the low-rank clean data. Finally, the projection matrix and global dictionary, as well as the threshold are obtained through iterative dictionary learning. This hybrid framework provides a robust model for process monitoring and mode identification, and its efficiency is demonstrated by both synthetic examples and real industrial process cases.

Smart grid has become the trend of future power system owing to its efficient allocation of resources, real-time monitoring and decision-making ability. However, due to the deep integration of power physical system and information system, smart grid is under serious threat such as malicious attacks and so on. The false data injection attack (FDIA), which can circumvent the traditional bad data detection technology, is a practical significant yet challenging problem for the operation of smart grid. In this paper, a novel attack detection method based on the matrix separation theory was proposed, which can detect the FDIA efficiently by exploring the low-rank feature of the unattacked measurement matrix and the structural sparsity feature of the attack matrix. Furthermore, a structural sparse matrix separation algorithm is proposed to improve the attack identification accuracy. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we carried out experiments under three types of attack. Compared with the existing methods, the proposed method has significantly improved the performance of FDIA detection. At the same time, it also has good robustness for noise and good scalability in large networks.
