Analysis of fault detection method based on predictive filter approach

A new detection method for component faults based on predictive filters together with the fault detectability, false alarm rate, missed alarm rate and upper bound of detection time are proposed. The efficiency of the method is illustrated by a simulation example of a second-order system. It is shown that the fault detection method using predictive filters has a small delay, a low false alarm rate and a low missed alarm rate. Furthermore the filter can give accurate estimates of states even after a fault occurs. The real-time estimation provided by this method can also be used for fault tolerant control.
