Real electronic signal data from particle accelerator power systems for machine learning anomaly detection

This article describes real time series datasets collected from the high voltage converter modulators (HVCM) of the Spallation Neutron Source facility. HVCMs are used to power the linear accelerator klystrons, which in turn produce the high-power radio frequency to accelerate the negative hydrogen ions (H(−)). Waveform signals have been collected from the operation of more than 15 HVCM systems categorized into four major subsystems during the years 2020-2022. The data collection process occurred in the Spallation Neutron Source facility of Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the United States. For each of the four subsystems, there are two datasets. The first one contains the waveform signals, while the second contains the label of the waveform, whether it has a normal or faulty signal. A variety of waveforms are included in the datasets including insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) currents in three phases, magnetic flux in the three phases, modulator current and voltage, cap bank current and voltage, and time derivative change of the modulator voltage. The datasets provided are useful to test and develop machine learning and statistical algorithms for applications related to anomaly detection, system fault detection and classification, and signal processing.
