Abstract 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 measurements and inputs on the window. It is shown that the residual given by the proposed residual generation filter provides the exact fault for noisefree 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, extensive simulations are performed for the discretized DC motor system with two types of sensor faults, incipient soft bias-type fault and abrupt bias-type fault. In particular, according to diverse noise levels and windows lengths, meaningful simulation results are given for the abrupt bias-type fault.

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.

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.

Abstract Sensor fault detection and classification is a key challenge for machine monitoring and diagnostics. To this purpose, a comprehensive approach for Detection, Classification and Integrated Diagnostics of Gas Turbine Sensors (named DCIDS), previously developed by the authors, is improved in this paper to detect and classify different fault classes. For a single sensor or redundant/correlated sensors, the improved diagnostic tool, called I-DCIDS, can identify seven classes of fault, i.e. out of range, stuck signal, dithering, standard deviation, trend coherence, spike and bias. Fault detection is performed by means of basic mathematical laws that require some user-defined input parameters, i.e. acceptability thresholds and windows of observation. This paper presents in detail the I-DCIDS methodology for sensor fault detection and classification. Moreover, this paper reports some examples of application of the methodology to simulated data to highlight its capability to detect sensor faults which can be commonly encountered in field applications.

In order to prevent machine malfunctions and to determine the machine operating state, it is necessary to use correct measurements from actual system inputs and outputs. This requires the use of techniques for the detection and isolation of sensor faults. In this paper an approach based on analytical redundancy which uses dynamic observers is suggested to solve the sensor fault detection and isolation problem for a single-shaft industrial gas turbine. The proposed technique requires the generation of classical residual functions obtained with different observer configurations. The diagnosis is performed by checking fluctuations of these residuals caused by faults.

<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>
