Risk Surveillance for Backup Power Systems Using Rule-Based Fuzzy Inference and Dependency Graphs
Main Article Content
Abstract
Continuous power supply is critical for factories in Thailand’s Andaman region because even short interruptions can stop production and affect business continuity. Conventional UPS monitoring with fixed thresholds often creates too many alarms or alerts too late during critical events. This paper presents a fuzzy–graph framework with two main parts: (1) a linear overlap fuzzy inference system (LO-FIS) that uses threshold mapping instead of defuzzification to produce binary outputs (0 = normal, 1 = critical), and (2) a dependency graph that shows how risk can propagate from the UPS to other devices. The framework is implemented on a raspberry Pi and connected to a Syndome HE-RT-1-3K UPS. We inject controlled faults at different levels and record data continuously for 72 hours, covering a wide range of loads (4,321 samples). The results show that our method achieves precision 99.32%, recall 97.14%, and F1-score 98.07%, with only one false alarm, and provides an average lead time of about 30 seconds before actual outages. These outcomes indicate improved reliability and resilience for industrial backup power systems.
