Fuel Cell System Diagnosis based on a Causal Structural Model

Abstract In this work, a diagnosis system is developed and applied to a fuel cell stack system. The paper shows the significance of structural models to solve diagnosis issues in large scale systems. The diagnosis system based on residual generation by means of the computation of causal MSO sets (Minimal Structural Overdetermined) is capable of detecting and isolating faults in the fuel cell system.
