Abstract

This paper presents a passive robust fault detection and isolation approach using interval observers. In industrial complex systems there is usually some uncertainty on model parameters that can be bounded using intervals. A model with parameters bounded in interval is known as an “interval model”. Intervals observers propagate parameter uncertainty to the residual generating an adaptive threshold that allow to robust detect system faults. In order to isolate faults, a bank of those observers with a specified fault signature is required. Finally, this approach will be applied to detect and isolate some of the faults proposed in an industrial actuator used as an FDI benchmark in the European project DAMADICS.
