Extended Luenberger Observer-Based Fault Detection for an Activated Sludge Process

Abstract In this paper, an observer-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) method for a biological wastewater treatment process (WWTP) is presented. The residual is generated utilizing an Extended Luenberger function observer. The FDI of a set of sensors faults is done by using a bank of Luenberger observers. The implementation of the proposed approach and the results obtained from its application to the WWTP demonstrate its simplicity and effectiveness.
