Abstract

In this study, a new strategy for fault detection and isolation is presented. This strategy is based on the design of a Lüneburg observer which is implemented via pole placement using linear matrix inequalities. Two residuals are formulated based on the state estimation error in order to be utilized in detecting and isolating faults happened on the system. Fault detection problem solves by changes occur in the residual value and fault isolation is done through determining threshold on residuals according to system behavior in faulty condition. The procedure performs in four simulations steps in which there are certain numbers of faults happen in the system in each step. This method is validated in simulation on a quadruple tank process while each faulty condition is considered as a leak at the bottom of a tank in the process. This can lead to an undesirable flow of liquid out of the tank which results to a decrease in tank's level. The simulation results represented in the paper shows the applicability of this strategy.
