Thus, combined with deep learning technology, an innovative hybrid fault diagnosis approach (1D-CNN_GRU) based on the time-series sequences is proposed in this study for the chiller system using 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). Firstly, 1D-CNN is applied to automatically extract the local abstract features of the sensor sequence data. Secondly, GRU with long and short term memory characteristics is applied to capture the global features, as well as the dynamic information of the sequence. Moreover, batch normalization and dropout are introduced to accelerate network training and address the overfitting issue. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed hybrid algorithm are assessed on the RP-1043 dataset; based on the experimental results, 1D-CNN_GRU displays the best performance compared with the other state-of-the-art algorithms. Further, the experimental results reveal that 1D-CNN_GRU has a superior identification rate for minor faults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20092458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,28]],"date-time":"2020-04-28T10:30:58Z","timestamp":1588069858000},"page":"2458","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["A Novel Fault Diagnosis Approach for Chillers Based on 1-D Convolutional Neural Network and Gated Recurrent Unit"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6039-0387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhuozheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}]},{"given":"Yingjie","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5756-2264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}]},{"given":"Zhuo","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zhao, G., Zhang, G., and Ge, Q.
