| description | The detection of boiler water-wall tube leakage in steam power plants is essential to prevent efficiency loss, unexpected shutdowns, and costly repairs. This study proposes a hybrid deep learning approach that combines convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to allow early and accurate leak detection. The methodology utilizes temperature data from multiple sensors positioned at critical points in the boiler system. The data of each sensor are independently processed by a dedicated CNN model, allowing for the autonomous extraction of sensor-specific features. These features are then fused to create a comprehensive feature representation of the system’s condition, which is analyzed by an SVM classifier to accurately identify leakages. By utilizing the feature extraction capabilities of CNNs and the classification strength of an SVM, this approach effectively identifies subtle operational anomalies that are indicative of potential leaks. The model demonstrates high detection accuracy and minimizes false-positives, providing a robust solution for real-time monitoring and proactive maintenance strategies in industrial systems. |
