Fault Detection and Estimation for a Class of Nonlinear Distributed Parameter Systems

This paper presents a new model-based fault detection and estimation framework for a class of multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear distributed parameter systems (DPS) described by partial differential equations (PDE) with actuator and sensor faults. The fault functions cover both abrupt and incipient faults. A Luenberger type observer is used to monitor the health of the DPS as a detection observer on the basis of the nonlinear PDE representation of the system with measured output vector. By taking the difference between measured and estimated outputs from this observer, a residual signal is generated for fault detection. If the detection residual exceeds a predefined threshold, a fault will be claimed to be active. Once an actuator or a sensor fault is detected and the fault type is identified, an appropriate fault parameter update law is developed to learn the fault dynamics online with the help of an additional output measurement. Eventually, the proposed detection and estimation framework is demonstrated on a nonlinear process.
