Description
Summary:Traditional algorithms and single predictive models often face challenges such as limited prediction accuracy and insufficient modeling capabilities for complex time-series data in fault prediction tasks. To address these issues, this paper proposes a combined prediction model based on an improved temporal convolutional network (TCN) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), referred to as the TCN-BiLSTM model. This model aims to enhance the reliability and accuracy of time-series fault prediction. It is designed to handle continuous processes but can also be applied to batch and hybrid processes due to its flexible architecture. First, preprocessed industrial operation data are fed into the model, and hyperparameter optimization is conducted using the Optuna framework to improve training efficiency and generalization capability. Then, the model employs an improved TCN layer and a BiLSTM layer for feature extraction and learning. The TCN layer incorporates batch normalization, an optimized activation function (Leaky ReLU), and a dropout mechanism to enhance its ability to capture multi-scale temporal features. The BiLSTM layer further leverages its bidirectional learning mechanism to model the long-term dependencies in the data, enabling effective predictions of complex fault patterns. Finally, the model outputs the prediction results after iterative optimization. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, simulation experiments were conducted to compare the TCN-BiLSTM model with mainstream prediction methods such as CNN, RNN, BiLSTM, and A-BiLSTM. The experimental results indicate that the TCN-BiLSTM model outperforms the comparison models in terms of prediction accuracy during both the modeling and forecasting stages, providing a feasible solution for time-series fault prediction.
