Robust Fault Detection for Discrete‐Time Nonlinear Impulsive Switched Systems

This paper deals with the problem of robust fault detection for discrete‐time nonlinear impulsive switched systems. The fault detection filter is used as the residual generator, in which the filter parameters are dependant on the system mode. Attention is focused on designing the robust fault detection filter. The problem of robust fault detection is converted into an H_∞‐filtering problem. A sufficient condition for the solvability of this problem is established by a convex optimization problem. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Design and analysis of robust fault detection filter using LMI tools

In this paper, the robust fault detection filter design problem for linear time invariant (LTI) systems with unknown inputs and modeling uncertainties is studied. The basic idea of our study is to formulate the robust fault detection filter design as a H_∞ model-matching problem. A solution of the optimal problem is then presented via a linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. The main results include the formulation of robust fault detection filter design problems, the derivation of a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust fault detection filter and construction of a robust fault detection filter based on the iterative of LMI algorithm.     

An LMI approach to design robust fault detection filter for uncertain LTI systems

In this paper, the robust fault detection filter design problem for uncertain linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with both unknown inputs and modelling errors is studied. The basic idea of our study is to use an optimal residual generator (assuming no modelling errors) as the reference residual model of the robust fault detection filter design for uncertain LTI systems with modelling errors and, based on it, to formulate the robust fault detection filter design as an H_∞ model-matching problem. By using some recent results of H_∞ optimization, a solution of the optimization problem is then presented via a linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. The main results include the development of an optimal reference residual model, the formulation of robust fault detection filter design problem, the derivation of a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust fault detection filter and a construction of it based on the LMI solution parameters, the determination of adaptive threshold for fault detection. An illustrative design example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Robust fault detection for networked systems with communication delay and data missing

In this paper, the robust fault detection problem is investigated for a class of discrete-time networked systems with unknown input and multiple state delays. A novel measurement model is utilized to represent both the random measurement delays and the stochastic data missing phenomenon, which typically result from the limited capacity of the communication networks. The network status is assumed to vary in a Markovian fashion and its transition probability matrix is uncertain but resides in a known convex set of a polytopic type. The main purpose of this paper is to design a robust fault detection filter such that, for all unknown inputs, possible parameter uncertainties and incomplete measurements, the error between the residual signal and the fault signal is made as small as possible. By casting the addressed robust fault detection problem into an auxiliary robust H_∞ filtering problem of a certain Markovian jumping system, a sufficient condition for the existence of the desired robust fault detection filter is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed technique.     

Fault detection for discrete-time switched systems with interval time-varying delays

This paper investigates the problem of fault detection filter design for discrete-time switched systems with interval time-varying delays. The residual generator is constructed based on a mode-dependent fault detection filter, i.e., the designed fault detection filter is also a switched system as well. By constructing a novel switched Lyapunov functional, a new criterion is obtained for the residual system. Based on this, a sufficient condition for the existence of the above filter is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The designed fault detection filter can guarantee the difference between the generated residual signal and the fault signal as small as possible. An example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

On the robust fault detection via a sliding mode disturbance observer

This paper deals with robust fault detection for non-linear systems. This problem is usually solved by designing an observable subsystem which is only affected by the fault and not by the control and disturbance inputs. However, such a subsystem may not exist so that the so-called fundamental problem of residual generation (FPRG) is not solvable. The aim of the present paper is to design a fault detection filter when the conditions for the existence of a solution to the non-linear FPRG are not satisfied. Our approach is made in a geometric context. Under some decoupling assumptions, the design of sliding mode observers allows us to reconstruct the disturbance inputs and then to generate an effective residual. An illustrative example is given throughout the paper.

Robust l1 estimation using the Popov-Tsypkin multiplier with application to robust fault detection

This paper considers the design of robust l₁ estimators based on multiplier theory (which is intimately related to mixed structured singular value theory) and the application of robust l₁ estimators to robust fault detection. The key to estimator-based, robust fault detection is to generate residuals which are robust against plant uncertainties and external disturbance inputs, which in turn requires the design of robust estimators. Specifically, the Popov-Tsypkin multiplier is used to develop an upper bound on an l₁ cost function over an uncertainty set. The robust l₁ estimation problem is formulated as a parameter optimization problem in which the upper bound is minimized subject to a Riccati equation constraint. A continuation algorithm that uses quasi-Newton BFGS (the algorithm of Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfab and Shanno) corrections is developed to solve the minimization problem. The estimation algorithm has two stages. The first stage solves a mixed-norm H₂/l₁ estimation problem. In particular, it is initialized with a steady-state Kalman filter and, by varying a design parameter from 0 to 1, the Kalman filter is deformed to an l₁ estimator. In the second stage the l₁ estimator is made robust. The robust l₁ estimation framework is then applied to the robust fault detection of dynamic systems. The results are applied to a simplified longitudinal flight control system. It is shown that the robust fault detection procedure based on the robust l₁ estimation methodology proposed in this paper can reduce false alarm rates.     

Fault detection for switched nonlinear systems under asynchronous switching

Asynchronous switching between switched system and associated filter or controller frequently occurs in several applications. In this article, the fault detection problem for a class of switched nonlinear systems with asynchronous switching is addressed. To model the switched system behaviour under asynchronous switching, two working modes are adopted to facilitate the studies on the issue. Then, based on average dwell time approach, a fault detection filter is developed via solving LMIs. Furthermore, it is proved that the fault detection problem under synchronous switching is only a particular case of our results for asynchronous switching. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed results.

Fuzzy Filter Design for ItÔ Stochastic Systems With Application to Sensor Fault Detection

The paper deals with the robust fault detection problem for Takagi–Sugeno (T--S) fuzzy ItÔ stochastic systems. Our aim is to develop a robust fault detection approach to the T--S fuzzy systems with Brownian motion. By using a general observer-based fault detection filter as a residual generator, the robust fault detection is formulated as a filtering problem. Attention is focused on the design of both the fuzzy-rule-independent and the fuzzy-rule-dependent fault detection filters guaranteeing a prescribed noise attenuation level in an ${{H}}_infty$ sense. Sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee the mean-square asymptotic stability with an ${{H}}_infty$ performance for the fault detection system. The corresponding solvability conditions for the desired fuzzy-rule-independent and fuzzy-rule-dependent fault detection filters are also established. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theory.      

Fault detection for continuous‐time switched systems under asynchronous switching

In this paper, the problem of fault detection for continuous‐time switched systems under asynchronous switching is investigated. The designed fault detection filter is assumed to be asynchronous with the original systems. Attention is focused on designing a fault detection filter such that the estimation error between the residual and the fault is minimized in the sense of H _∞ norm. By employing piecewise Lyapunov function and average dwell time techniques, a sufficient condition for the existence of such a filter is exploited in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities. Finally, an example of a switched electrical circuit is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust fault detection for discrete-time Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time-delays

This paper investigates a fault detection problem for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump systems with norm-bounded uncertainties and mode-dependent time-delays. Attention is focused on constructing the residual generator based on the filter which its parameters matrices are dependent on the system mode, that is, the fault detection filter is a Markovian jump system as well. The design of fault detection filter is reduced to H-infinity filtering problem by using H-infinity control theory, which can guarantee the difference between the residual and the fault (or, more generally weighted fault) as small as possible in the context of enhancing the robustness of residual to modeling errors, control inputs and unknown inputs. Sufficient condition for the existence of the above filters is established by means of linear matrix inequalities, which can be readily {solved by using standard numerical software. A numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
