Non-linear dynamic systems fault detection and isolation using fuzzy observers

Abstract This paper presents a novel fault detection and isolation scheme for non-linear dynamic systems. This scheme utilizes a fuzzy observer to generate the diagnostic residual signal for fault detection and isolation. This fuzzy observer, based upon the idea of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models, comprises a number of locally linear observers and the final state estimate is a fuzzy fusion of all local observer outputs. To ensure good estimation performance, the eigenvalues of the fuzzy observer are assigned in a pre-defined region in the complex plane. The stability as well as eigenvalue constraint conditions for the fuzzy observer design are presented and solved in the linear matrix inequality framework in this paper. Finally, the paper demonstrates the application of fuzzy observers in detecting and isolating intermittent faults in the induction motor of a railway traction system using a real-time test-rig implementation.
