First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of fault isolation and detection in a physical fluid control system comprising a controller, a pump having a pump flow, a first tank having a leakage flow and a second tank having an output flow, wherein the controller is in operable connection with the pump and the pump is in fluid connection with the first tank by a first flow, and the first tank is in fluid connection with the second tank, comprising:
- carrying out unified detection and isolation of multiplicative faults of the fluid flows and control of the fluid control system with factors saved in a first memory of a computer and Kalman filtering residuals saved in a second memory of the computer;
mapping the Kalman filter residuals with diagnostic parameters; and
estimating, in the processor of the computer, influence vectors for the leakage flow, an actuator corresponding with the pump flow and sensor faults corresponding with the output flow by perturbing the diagnostic parameters one at a time during an off-line identification phase,isolating, in a processor of the computer, the multiplicative faults with composite Bayesian hypothesis testing taking into account statistics of noise and disturbances affecting the Kalman filter residuals based on the square of the cosine of angle between the residual of the diagnostic parameters and corresponding estimated influences.

Abstract
A unified method to detection and isolation of parametric faults in a physical system resulting from variations in the parameters of its constituting subsystems, termed herein as diagnostic parameters, uses Kalman filter residuals. Rather than using the feature vector made of the coefficients of the numerator and denominator of the system transfer function, which is known to be a non-linear function of the diagnostic parameter variations, the method first shows and then exploits, for fault detection purposes, the fact that the Kalman filter residual is a multi-linear function of the deviations in the diagnostic parameters, i.e. the residual is separately linear in each parameter. A fault is then isolated using a Bayesian multiple composite hypotheses testing approach. A reliable map relating the diagnostic parameters to the residual is obtained off-line using fault emulators. The unified fault detection and isolation method is successfully evaluated on both simulated data as well as on real data obtained from a benchmarked laboratory-scale coupled-tank system used to exemplify an industrial two-tank process.
