This paper presents an innovative algebraic sensor fault detection approach for surge avoidance in turbo compressors (TC) in the natural gas compressor stations (GCS). The main objective is surge avoidance in the presence of sensor faults in TC. In this way, the robust parity space approach for fault detection is extended to highly nonlinear dynamic of TC based on Groebner basis and elimination technique. No work has been previously reported on the use of this technique for nonlinear dynamic systems with parametric uncertainties. This algebraic approach is simulated on the Moore–Greitzer control oriented model in the presence of parametric uncertainties, disturbances, and sensor faults. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fault detection approach.

This paper focuses on the problem of detecting sensor faults in feedback control systems with multistage RBF neural network ensemble-based estimators. The sensor fault detection framework is introduced. The modeling process of the estimator is presented. Fault detection is accomplished by evaluating residuals, which are the differences between the actual values of sensor outputs and the estimated values. The particular feature of the fault detection approach is using the data sequences of multi-sensor readings and controller outputs to establish the bank of estimators and fault-sensitive detectors. A detectability study has also been done with the additive type of sensor faults. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by means of three tank system experiment results.

<p>This article discusses the Kalman observer based fault detection approach. The calculation of the residues can detect faults, but if there are noises, uncertainties become very important. To reduce the influence of these noises, a calculation of the instantaneous energy of the residues gave a better precision. The Kalman observer was used to estimate system performance and eliminate unknown noise and external disturbances. Instantaneous Power Calculation (IPCFD) based fault detection can detect potential sensor faults in hybrid systems. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by the main application.</p>

This paper presents a fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) method, which uses one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1-D CNN) and WaveCluster clustering analysis to detect and diagnose sensor faults in the supply air temperature (Tsup) control loop of the air handling unit. In this approach, 1-D CNN is employed to extract man-guided features from raw data, and the extracted features are analyzed by WaveCluster clustering. The suspicious sensor faults are indicated and categorized by denoting clusters. Moreover, the Tc acquittal procedure is introduced to further improve the accuracy of FDD. In validation, false alarm ratio and missing diagnosis ratio are mainly used to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed FDD method. Results show that the abrupt sensor faults in Tsup control loop can be efficiently detected and diagnosed, and the proposed method is equipped with good robustness within the noise range of 6 dBm∼13 dBm.

The diagnostic ability of probabilistic neural networks (PNN) for detecting sensor faults on gas turbines is examined. The structure and the features of a PNN, for sensor fault detection, are presented. It is shown that with the proposed formulation, a powerful tool for sensor fault identification is produced. A particular feature of the PNN produced is the ability to detect sensor faults even in the presence of engine component malfunction, as well as on deteriorated engines. In such situations, the size of bias that can be identified increases. The way to establish the limits of sensor bias that can be detected is presented along with results from application to test cases with realistic noise magnitudes. The diagnostic procedure proposed here is also supported by an engine performance model. The data used for setting up and testing the PNN are generated by such a model.

In the current paper, a residual generation filter with finite memory structure is proposed for sensor fault detection. The proposed finite memory residual generation filter provides the residual by real-time filtering of fault vector using only the most recent finite observations and inputs on the window. It is shown that the residual given by the proposed residual generation filter provides the exact fault for noise-free systems. The proposed residual generation filter is specified to the digital filter structure for the amenability to hardware implementation. Finally, to illustrate the capability of the proposed residual generation filter, numerical examples are performed for the discretized DC motor system having the multiple sensor faults.
