Abstract

Reliable and timely diagnosis of system faults under uncertainties is imperative for safe, reliable, and profitable operation of technical systems. This paper presents an input design method for active fault diagnosis for nonlinear systems that are subject to probabilistic model uncertainty and stochastic disturbances, and are under operational constraints. A computationally efficient sample-based method is presented for joint propagation of model uncertainty and stochastic disturbances using non-intrusive generalized polynomial chaos and unscented transformation. A tractable sample-based distance measure, inspired by the k-nearest neighbors algorithm, is used for fault diagnosis, which seeks to discriminate between probabilistic predictions of the model hypotheses for normal and faulty operation. Simulation results on a benchmark bioreactor case study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed input design method for reliable fault diagnosis under uncertainty through online model discrimination.
