Description

Anomaly detection device, method and program

The present disclosure relates to an anomaly detection device, method, and program.

Conventionally, in the anomaly detection of equipment such as air conditioners, there is a known method of judging an anomaly when a failure index exceeds a predetermined threshold. This threshold value is determined based on two distributions (probability distribution of normal data and probability distribution of abnormal data) by calculating the probability density of normal data and abnormal data of the indicator. there is

JP 2009-24923 A

However, the two distributions have a clearly normal range (a range that does not overlap with abnormality), a clearly abnormal range (range that does not overlap with normal), and a range that is difficult to distinguish between normal and abnormal (normal and abnormal). There are three types: the range covered) and . Therefore, if the time-series data of the failure index fluctuates due to noise and reaches a range where it is difficult to determine whether the failure is normal or abnormal, the threshold may be exceeded and an erroneous determination may occur. Description will be made below with reference to FIG. The left side of FIG. 1 explains the determination of the threshold, and the right side of FIG. 1 explains the detection of abnormality using the threshold.

The left side of FIG. 1 shows the probability density (or frequency) of the failure index (for example, the refrigerant amount index). “Normal distribution” is the probability density calculated by collecting the values of the refrigerant quantity index during normal times, and “Distribution at the time of leakage” collects the values of the refrigerant quantity index at abnormal times (at the time of refrigerant leakage). is the probability density calculated by A threshold value (broken line in FIG. 1) is determined based on the normal distribution and the leakage distribution. “Range where it can be correctly judged as normal” is a clearly normal range (range where it is not abnormal (leakage)), and “range where leakage can be correctly judged” is a clearly abnormal (leakage) range (normal) range), and there are few misjudgments. On the other hand, the “range of many misjudgments” is a range in which it is difficult to distinguish between normality and abnormality (leakage) (range where normality and abnormality (leakage) overlap), and there are many misjudgments.

The right side of FIG. 1 shows the value of the failure index (for example, refrigerant amount index) at each time (t). If the noise removal of the refrigerant amount index is insufficient, for example, even though the equipment is normal, the threshold value is exceeded due to noise, and an abnormality is erroneously detected.

Generated normal and abnormal regions can also be used.

<Learning>
First, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 creates a normal region and an abnormality region on the phase space used for detecting abnormality of the air conditioner 100 .

Specifically, the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 controls the time-series data of an index (hereinafter referred to as an anomaly detection target) for detecting an anomaly of the air conditioner 100, the value of an arbitrary time and the arbitrary time Create an N+1 dimensional topological space from the N older values.

Below, the processing for creating the normal region and the abnormal region will be described in detail separately for <mapping to the topological space>, <creation of the normal region and the abnormal region>, and <overlapping of the normal region and the abnormal region>.

<Mapping to topological space>
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining mapping of time-series data, which is an anomaly detection target of the present disclosure, onto a phase space. The control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 creates an N+1-dimensional phase space from an arbitrary time value of the time-series data, which is an anomaly detection target of the air conditioner 100, and N values past the arbitrary time. We map normal time-series data and abnormal time-series data onto it.

Then, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 puts normal time-series data (time-series data of the refrigerant amount index when the air conditioner 100 is normal) and abnormal time-series data (air conditioner Time-series data of the refrigerant amount index when 100 is abnormal (refrigerant leakage) is mapped.

<Creation of normal area and abnormal area>
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining creation of normal regions and abnormal regions according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 creates a normal region and an anomaly region on the phase space according to the distribution when the normal time-series data and the abnormal time-series data are mapped on the phase space. If the index (t-1) ~ reference value (approximation) and index (t) ~ reference value (approximation), then it is considered normal, and either index (t-1) or index (t) is greater than the reference value. If it is below (or above), it is determined to be normal (deemed to be noise), and if the index (t-1) < (or >) reference value and index (t) < (or >) reference value, it is determined to be abnormal. can be done.

In the example of FIG. 4, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 maps the normal region on the phase space according to the distribution when the normal time-series data and the abnormal time-series data are mapped on the phase space. and creating (eg, demarcating) anomalous regions. For example, if the index (t-1) to 0 (approximate) and the index (t) to 0 (approximate), it is determined to be normal, and if either the index (t-1) or the index (t) is negative, it is normal (assumed to be noise), and if index (t-1)<0 and index (t)<0, it can be determined as abnormal.

In this way, by creating a normal region and an abnormal region (for example, a boundary line) so as not to include data that would cause an erroneous judgment, even data judged to be abnormal in one dimension are mapped onto a plane. Plotted in the normal region.

<Overlap of normal and abnormal regions>
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the overlap of the normal region and the abnormal region of the present disclosure. When the time-series data, which is the object of anomaly detection, is mapped, the normal region and the abnormal region may overlap on the topological space. When the normal region and the abnormal region overlap, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 detects the region where the normal region and the abnormal region overlap (for example, the “normal region” and the “leakage region” in FIG. The area indicated by the “overlap”) can be taken as the normal area.

The process of detecting an abnormality in the air conditioner 100 will be described in detail below.

<Anomaly detection>
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining abnormality detection according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 acquires at least N+1 values from the time-series data that is the abnormality detection target of the air conditioner 100, and at least N+1 values are mapped to the normal region or mapped to the abnormal region. It is determined whether the time-series data is normal or abnormal by specifying whether the time-series data is normal or abnormal (at least N+1 values within the dashed frame on the left side of FIG. 6 are mapped (moving the frame )).

For example, the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 calculates the relationship between the number of data mapped to the normal region and the number of data mapped to the abnormal region among at least N+1 values, so that time-series data is normal or abnormal (for example, if the number of data mapped to the normal region is greater can be determined).

For example, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 determines whether the time-series data is normal by calculating whether the center of gravity of the distribution after mapping of at least N+1 values is in the normal region or in the abnormal region. or abnormal (for example, if the center of gravity of the distribution after mapping is in the normal region, it is determined to be normal, and if the center of gravity of the distribution after mapping is in the abnormal region, it is determined to be abnormal) can be done.

<<Number of dimensions of topological space>>
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the number of dimensions of the phase space according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The topological space may be a topological space of any number of dimensions. The topological space may be two-dimensional, three-dimensional or more. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the phase space can be represented by the value of the failure indicator (eg, refrigerant quantity indicator) at time t and the value of the failure indicator (eg, refrigerant quantity indicator) at time t−1 and the failure It is a phase space whose axis is the value at time t−2 of the index (eg, refrigerant amount index). As the number of dimensions increases, the boundary surface becomes more complicated, and false detection due to noise disappears.

<<Degree of change>>
FIG. 8 is an example of a phase space according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The axes of the phase space may be computed fault indices. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the phase space may include the difference between the value of the failure index (eg, refrigerant quantity index) at time t and the value at time t−1, and the failure index (eg, refrigerant quantity index) is a phase space whose axis is the difference between the value at time t−1 and the value at time t−2. As shown in Figure 8, the time-series data of a rapid leak (a large amount of refrigerant leaks in a short time and causes a lack of oxygen or ignition of a flammable refrigerant) Leakage leading to deterioration of function due to leakage of refrigerant) is mapped to the lower left of the time-series data. In this way, if the change is significant, it will be mapped to the lower left (in the case of the refrigerant amount index), and it is possible to determine the degree of progress, such as whether the abnormality is a fast-changing abnormality or a slow-changing abnormality. In addition, in the case of an index whose value increases when there is an abnormality, if the change is significant, it will be mapped to the upper right.

FIG. 9 is an example of a phase space according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The axes of the phase space may be computed fault indices. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the phase space may include the value of the failure indicator (eg, refrigerant quantity indicator) at time t, the value of the failure indicator (eg, refrigerant quantity indicator) at time t, and the value at time t− 1 is the topological space whose axes are the difference of the values in .

<<Multiple Topological Spaces>>
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining creation of multiple phase spaces and anomaly detection using multiple phase spaces according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 can create multiple different phase spaces. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 controls the value of the failure indicator (eg, refrigerant amount indicator) at time t and the value of the failure indicator (eg, refrigerant amount indicator) at time t− 1 and the difference between the value at time t and the value at time t-1 of the index of failure (e.g. refrigerant amount index) and the time t of the index of failure (e.g. refrigerant amount index) A phase space can be created whose axis is the difference between the value at −1 and the value at time t−2.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 determines whether the time-series data is mapped to a normal region or an abnormal region on each phase space of a plurality of different phase spaces. By specifying it, it is possible to determine whether the time-series data is normal or abnormal and output it. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 causes the time-series data of the failure index (for example, the refrigerant amount index) to fall into the normal region on each phase space of the two phase spaces. The degree of deviation from normal and the degree of change can be determined by specifying whether it is mapped or mapped to an abnormal region. Therefore, in addition to judging whether it is normal or abnormal (judging by the degree of deviation from normal), it is possible to judge the degree of progress, such as whether the abnormality is a fast-changing or slow-changing abnormality (judgment by the degree of change). can do.

<<Interval of time-series data>>

<Method>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of normal region and abnormal region creation processing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

At step 11 (S11), the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 creates a phase space. Specifically, the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 extracts an N+1-dimensional phase space from an arbitrary time value of the time-series data that is an anomaly detection target of the air conditioner 100 and N values past the arbitrary time. create.

At step 12 (S12), the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 maps the time-series data, which is an anomaly detection target, onto the phase space. Specifically, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 maps the normal time-series data and the abnormal time-series data on the phase space created in S11.

At step 13 (S13), the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 creates a normal region and an abnormal region on the phase space. Specifically, the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 maps the normal region and the Create anomalous regions.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of normality/abnormality determination processing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

At step 21 (S21), the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 acquires time-series data that is an anomaly detection target. Specifically, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 acquires at least N+1 values from the time-series data that is the abnormality detection target of the air conditioner 100 .

At step 22 (S22), the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 maps the time-series data, which is an anomaly detection target, onto the phase space. Specifically, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 maps at least N+1 values acquired in S21 onto the phase space created in FIG.

At step 23 (S23), the control unit 1001 of the anomaly detection device 10 determines whether the time series data to be anomaly detected is normal or abnormal. Specifically, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 determines whether the time-series data is normal by specifying whether at least N+1 values are mapped to the normal region or the abnormal region in S22. or abnormal.

At step 24 (S24), the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 outputs the determination result. Specifically, the control unit 1001 of the abnormality detection device 10 outputs the result determined in S23 (for example, an abnormality of the air conditioner 100 is reported).

In this way, conventionally, erroneous judgments caused by noise due to failure index values before and after were not taken into consideration when determining the threshold value (for example, the past refrigerant amount index in FIG. 1 information, it can be understood that the value of the refrigerant quantity index has just become low by chance). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a normal region and an abnormal region are created by mapping the failure index data onto a topological space centered on past data and current data of the failure index (for example, a boundary line or draw a boundary surface), it is possible to reduce false detections due to noise. Normal regions and abnormal regions (eg, boundary lines or boundary surfaces) can be easily created by machine learning with normal data and abnormal data. At the time of abnormality detection, it is possible to map chronologically continuous failure index data onto the phase space, and determine normality/abnormality based on whether it is mapped to the normal region or the abnormal region.
