Özet

Diesel generators are strategic primary or backup power sources for residential use and critical facilities. Since they are a key component of the energy supply chain, their health status and maintenance requirements are critical issues. This paper presents a predictive maintenance system based on six electrical and electromechanical sensor parameters (frequency, voltage, battery voltage, water temperature, winding temperature, active power) collected at 15-minute intervals from an active field generator. An original hybrid method utilizing eight different deep learning architectures is employed to predict the next-step oil pressure and generate a generator health score. Experimental results show that the Temporal Convolutional Network-Long Short-Term Memory (TCN-LSTM) hybrid architecture achieves the highest accuracy, detecting faults significantly earlier than traditional protection systems. To prevent physical limit violations common in purely data-driven models, a 'Physical Penalty Mechanism' based on technical standards is integrated into the system. The results validate the applicability of predictive maintenance for diesel generators and provide a basis for deep learning architectures compatible with IoT-based remote monitoring systems.
