D-S evidence theory applied to fault diagnosis of generator based on embedded sensors

In the monitoring system of a power plant, the method of gathering real time data from sensors is often adopted. It not only increases the communication burden of the monitoring system but also results in erroneous transmission due to a worse electromagnetism environment. For overcoming these shortcomings, we adopt a new approach using embedded multisensors and D-S evidence theory. This method has been applied to the monitoring system of the JiLin FengMan Power Plant successfully.
