Abstract

Dynamic fault diagnosis must consider complex fault situations such as fault evolution, coupling, unreliable tests and so on. Previous dynamic fault diagnostic models and inference algorithms are mainly designed for the steady state systems, which are not suitable for the multimode systems. In this paper, a time varying dynamic model to solve the multimode fault diagnosis problem is proposed. Its structure and formulation are presented. Fault diagnosis based on this model is realized by means of inference calculation given the test result, which is formulated as an optimization problem. A new algorithm to solve this problem is proposed. Simulation experiments on different scenarios are carried out to validate the model and the algorithm. As an example, the case of a satellite electrical power system is studied in detail. Both the simulation result and the application result show that the method proposed in this paper can be used to solve the dynamic fault diagnosis problem for multimode systems considering the complex circumstances such as uncertain tests and system delay.
