Research on the uncertainty problem of SDG fault diagnosis based on information flow

Accurate and complete diagnosis of nuclear accidents is the primary link to nuclear emergencies. The signed directed graph (SDG), as a common method of fault diagnosis, has good completeness. However, if there are feedforward and negative feedback control loops, compensation response and reverse response will be generated in the process of fault occurrence and propagation, which makes the state of the compensation variable and reverse variable uncertain, thus destroying the compatibility of the fault propagation path, leading to incomplete SDG reverse reasoning. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a SDG fault diagnosis method based on information flow. This method first finds out all the directed edges with the compensation variable or inverse variable node as the endpoint. By comparing the goodness of fit between the information flow on these directed edges and their total information flow curves, the path that contained the directed edge represented by sub-information flow with the highest
