TRANSCEND, our system for fault detection and isolation of complex dynamic systems, uses a model based approach to predict and analyze transient effects resulting from abrupt faults in the system. Abrupt faults are attributed to discrete and persistent parameter value changes. Fault isolation is performed by matching features extracted from the transients against those predicted by the model. T...

This paper considers the robust fault detection and isolation (FDI) problem for uncertain linear timeinvariant (LTI) systems. An FDI filter minimizes the sensitivity of the residual signal to disturbances and modeling errors subject to the constraint that the transfer matrix function from the faults to the residual is close to a diagonal matrix (for fault isolation). A solution of the optimizat...

Abstract: A new design procedure of a reduced order unknown input observer (UIO) is proposed to generate residuals for fault detection isolation (FDI). The originality of this work consists in the adopted approach for the procedure implementation. Indeed the kernel of the actuator fault distribution matrix is generated thanks to generalized inverses. The Kronecker product is used to solve a Syl...

The data-based fault detection and isolation (DBFDI) process becomes more potentially challenging if the faulty component of the system causes partial loss of data. In this paper, we present an iterative approach to DBFDI that is capable of recovering the model and detecting the fault pertaining to that particular cause of the model loss. The developedmethod is an expectation-maximization (EM) ...

Considering the possibility of unexpected situations, the authorities feel the necessity of keeping certain sub systems or components of aircraft under continuous scrutiny. Accordingly, sensors in flight control systems are considered as one of the crucial components of the system. The failure to detect faults is quite likely to cause very serious problems, which makes it vital to carry out eff...

Multiple fault diagnosis is a challenging problem because the number of candidates grows exponentially in the number of faults. In addition, multiple faults in dynamic systems may be hard to detect, because they can mask or compensate each other’s effects. The multiple fault problem is important, since the single fault assumption can lead to incorrect or failed diagnoses when multiple faults oc...

AbstractIn this paper, a robust sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) method based on the unknown input observer (UIO) approach is presented. The basic principle of unknown input observers is to decouple disturbances from the state estimation error. A single full-order observer is designed to detect sensor faults in the presence of unknown inputs (disturbances). By doing so, we generate a ...

Abstract: This paper considers fault detection and isolation (FDI) in a non-uniformly sampled multirate system. By extending the Chow-Willsky scheme from single rate systems to multirate systems, one generates a primary residual vector (PRV) for fault detection. Further, by structuring the PRV to have different sensitivity/insensitivity to different faults, fault isolation is performed. The pow...
