A Combined Qualitative/quantitative Approach for Fault Isolation in Continuous Dynamic Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The TRANSCEND system for fault detection and isolation in continuous systems uses qualitative reasoning methods to analyze transients caused by abrupt faults. Qualitative transient analysis avoids some of the computational difficulties associated with numerical schemes, but they lack discriminating power. This paper presents the formal basis for qualitative transient analysis, and then establishes the limits of the discriminatory power of this methodology. An integrated scheme that starts with qualitative fault isolation to narrow down possible fault hypotheses, and then uses a focused quantitative parameter estimation scheme to identify the true fault is developed. This approach provides a number of advantages over purely quantitative FDI schemes. Copyright c 2000 IFAC

Mixed Qualitative/Quantitative Dynamic Simulation of Processing Systems
In this article the methodology proposed by Li and Wang for mixed qualitative and quantitative modeling and simulation of temporal behavior of processing unit is reexamined and extended to more complex case. The main issue of their approach considers the multivariate statistics of principal component analysis (PCA), along with clustered fuzzy digraphs and reasoning. The PCA and fuz...
متن کاملA Qualitative Approach to Multiple Fault Isolation in Continuous Systems
The multiple fault diagnosis problem is important, since the single fault assumption can lead to incorrect or failed diagnoses when multiple faults occur. It is challenging for continuous systems, because faults can mask or compensate each other’s effects, and the solution space grows exponentially with the number of possible faults. We present a qualitative approach to multiple fault isolation...
متن کاملComprehensive Diagnosis of Continuous Systems Using Dynamic Bayes Nets
Fault diagnosis is essential for guaranteeing safe and reliable operation of complex engineering systems. Our work focuses on diagnosis of parametric faults in the components of dynamic systems, whose temporal profile can be categorized as incipient (slow) or abrupt (fast). The diagnosis of abrupt and incipient faults using qualitative approaches is challenging, since in many situations, these ...

Fault diagnosis is crucial for guaranteeing safe, reliable and efficient operation of modern engineering systems. These systems are typically hybrid. They combine continuous plant dynamics described by continuous-state variables and discrete switching behavior between several operating modes. This paper presents an integrated approach for online tracking and diagnosis of hybrid linear systems. ...
متن کاملAn Approach to Model-Based Diagnosis of Hybrid Systems
The need for reliability and robustness in present day systems requires that they possess the capability for accommodating faults in the controlled plant. Fault accommodation requires tight integration of online fault detection, isolation, and identi cation with the system control loop. This paper develops an e ective fault diagnosis scheme for plants that mainly exhibit continuous behavior, bu...
