A neuro-fuzzy multiple-model observer approach to robust fault diagnosis based on the DAMADICS benchmark problem

摘要

This paper presents a new framework for fault detection and isolation (FDI) based on neuro-fuzzy multiple modelling together with robust optimal de-coupling of observers. This new paradigm is called the 'Neuro-Fuzzy and De-coupling Fault Diagnosis Scheme' (NFDFDS). Multiple operating points are taken care of through the NF modelling framework. The structure also provides residuals that are de-coupled to 'unknown inputs', making use of the earlier research on unknown input de-coupling. The NF paradigm exploits the combined abilities of neural networks and fuzzy logic and is an efficient modelling tool for non-linear dynamic systems because of its approximation and reasoning capabilities. The paper also provides a comparative study of NFDFDS with the Extended Unknown Input Observer (EUIO) for FDI, using the DAMADICS benchmark example.
