Abstract: As an Open Set Recognition (OSR) problem, nuclear power plant fault diagnosis requires not only the correct classification of known faults, but also the effective identification of unknown faults, which cannot be satisfied by most previously developed models. In this study, a novel nuclear power plant OSR fault diagnosis framework based on Convolutional Prototype Learning (CPL) is proposed, in which CPL is used to extract discriminative fault features from raw nuclear power plant data. Besides, two classification methods, One-Class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM) method and Prototype Matching by Distance (PMD) method, are developed to complete the fault diagnosis of open space for the framework. To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed OSR framework, numerical experiments on 24 OSR tasks with high-dimensional and strong-nonlinear complex nuclear power plant simulation data are conducted, and the OSR performance evaluate by normalized accuracy and Youden's index, feature visualization and convergence rates are analyzed. Results show that compared with adopting traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the proposed CPL-based framework can significantly boost the OSR diagnostic performance on nuclear power plant fault diagnosis tasks, which benefits from the excellent ability of CPL to extract intra-class compact and inter-class separable feature representation.
