Abstract

In this paper we present and compare different fault diagnosis algorithms using space space models for nonlinear dynamic systems. Most fault diagnosis and isolation algorithms for dynamic systems, which can be modeled using a set of state space equations, have relied on the system being linear and the noise and disturbances being Gaussian. In such cases, optimal filtering ideas based on Kalman filtering are utilized in estimation followed by a residual analysis, for which whiteness tests are typically carried out. Linearized approximations (e.g., Extended Kalman filters) have been used in the nonlinear dynamic systems case. However, linearization techniques, being approximate, tend to suffer from poor detection or high false alarm rates. In this paper, we use the sequential Monte Carlo filtering approach where the complete posterior distribution of the estimates are represented through samples or particles as opposed to the mean and covariance of an approximated Gaussian distribution. The particle filter is combined with the innovation-based fault detection techniques to develop a fault detection and isolation scheme. The advantage of particle filters is that they are capable of handling any functional nonlinearity and system or measurement noise of any distribution. An improvement on using a single Extended Kalman filter matched to a particular model is to use the the Interacting Multiple Model estimator, which consists of a number of EKFs running in parallel. Such a multiple model estimator can handle the abrupt changes in the system dynamics, which is essential for fault diagnosis. Here, we compare the fault detection performances of these algorithms on different nonlinear systems.
