I. INTRODUCTION

Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns process supervision. Due to the complexity of modern control systems and the increasing demand for quality, safety and reliability, FDI is an increasingly active research domain [8]. A widespread solution for FDI consists in comparing the behavior of the real system to a theorical model. For complex systems, there is no available accurate mathematical model [8]. In this case, fuzzy logic is the most appropriate solution since it deals with uncertainties and imprecise informations; its performance was shown in many works [3][13]. FDI methods can be divided into two major categories: quantitative and qualitative methods [1] [14] [15] [16].

The choice of a modelling formalism is an important step for FDI. Because of its behavioural, structural and causal properties, the Bond Graph (BG) tool is used in complex processes modelling and FDI [1] [2] [6] [7]. BG gives mathematical and graphical representations that make easier the task of monitoring and the design of supervision systems. Its causal properties are used to determine the fault origins; BG is exploited in both qualitative and quantitative diagnosis methods [1].

However, the efficiency and robustness of these methods depend on the model’s accuracy. In case of uncertain parameters systems, [10] proposed a robust diagnosis algorithm, using a BG model in Linear Fractional Transformations (LFT) form, robust to parameters uncertainties. The quantity of energy given by the uncertain part is separated from residual; this idea allows the generation of adaptive thresholds for fault detection. A study of sensitivity was elaborated to deduce detectability indexes defining the

detectable value of the residual in case of faults and parameter uncertainties. In Reference [17], we have proposed a FDI method based on robust fixed and adaptive thresholds. In this method, residuals sensitivity to different system’s parameters is exploited in order to determine their thresholds used in detection stage. For isolation, the FSM (Fault Signature Matrix) is compared to the coherence binary vector which contains residuals’ state.

In this work, we propose to combine fuzzy approach with adaptive thresholds method in order to improve FDI system efficiency.

This paper is organized as follows: In section 2, adaptive thresholds generation method is presented. In section 3, a fuzzy logic approach for on-line FDI is detailed. The proposed adaptive fuzzy FDI approach is described in section 4. Section 5 presents the benchmark used to test the proposed method. And finally, simulation results and a comparison with the adaptive thresholds based method are given in section 6.

II. THE ROBUST THRESHOLDS GENERATION METHOD FOR

FDI

From the BG model in derivative causality, we can deduce ARRs expressions which are determined from the structural equations in junctions 0 and 1.

Final expression of the ARRs has the following structure [17]:

ARR : r (θi) =0

Where θi represents the system’s physical parameters.

The sensitivity analysis of a residual studies how a small perturbation Δθi around a nominal value of a parameter θi affects the residual.

The sensitivity expression Sij is given by:

i j

ij

j

( ) rS

Where Sij is the sensitivity of residual ri with respect to a parameter θj.

Determination of the numerical value of the sensitivity Sij allows the determination of residuals’ variation for a given variation Δθj of the parameter θj, this variation is given by:

644

i ij jr S .

However, every component of a real physical system is affected by uncertainties which present the deviations of the parameters around their nominal values without affecting normal operating mode of the system.

In fact, for a residual r depending on m physical parameters, the residual‘s variation is given by:

1 2

1 2

m

m

r r r r ....

By applying the absolute value:

1 2 m

1 2 m

r r rΔ r = Δθ + Δθ +....+ Δθ

θ θ θ

1 2

1 2

m

m

r r r r ....

Then

1 1

1 1

m m

m m

r r r r .... r ....

And residual’s variation is then bounded by:

min maxΔ r <Δ r<Δ r

Where:

1 2

1 2

min m

m

r r r r ....

1 2

1 2

max m

m

r r r r ....

Assuming r0 is the value of the residual r in normal operating mode; the residual’s normal operating mode thresholds will be given by:

0 min 0 maxr +Δ r <r<r +Δ r

For fault detection, violation of the determined thresholds is then considered as a fault symptom.

III. FUZZY METHOD FOR FDI

From the residuals values, two features can be determined:

The absolute value of the residuals: r

Residuals’ variation over a sliding time window: d

111

t N

i t

d r( i ) r( i )N

The choice of the parameter N depends on the residuals’ variations and the noise effects, it is fixed experimentally until we extract the signal trend, this parameter improves the

robustness of the decision but it causes detection delay which affects the proposed method performances.

The descriptor sets associated with each feature fuzzy partition are:

r= {“SMALL”, “LARGE”}

d= {“SMALL”, “LARGE”}

These two variables are fuzzified using two trapezoidal membership functions (Fig. 1). So, 4 parameters have to be determined for each function.

Figure 1. Fuzzy sets of the residuals

The trapezoidal boundaries of the set SMALL are given by:

r : μsmall=[0, 0, r-max, Rmin]

d : μsmall=[0, 0, d-max, Dmin]

And for the set LARGE, are given by:

r : μLarge=[r-max, Rmin, Rmax, Rmax]

d : μLarge=[d-max, Dmin, Dmax, Dmax]

Where:

r-max respectively d-max is the maximum value of the residual respectively residual variation in normal operating mode

Rmin = Kr. r-max

Dmin= Kd. d-max

Rmax respectively Dmax: is the maximum value respectively variation of the concerned residual.

Kr, Kd: are fixed constants determined experimentally, their values influence the sensitivity of the detection system.

Detection decision is summarized in Table 1:

TABLE I. RULES BASE OF THE FUZZY SYSTEM

r

d Small Large

Small Small Large

Large Large Large

From this table, the next following rules are deduced:

If (r-i is Large) or (d-i is Large) then (Fault_index-i is Large)

If (r-i is Small) and (d-i is Small) then (Fault_index-i is Small)

645

Rules are obtained using MIN-MAX inference method, the MIN operator represents the logic function AND, and the MAX operator for the logic function OR.

The output of this fuzzy system is a fault index indicating whether the concerned residual is in normal operating mode or faulty mode (Fig. 2).

Figure 2. Residuals’ defuzzification

IV. THE PROPOSED FUZZY ADAPTIVE FDI METHOD

By combining the two previous methods, an adaptive Fuzzy Logic Mechanism (FLM) is deduced. The interesting point of the method is that the FLM changes according to the control while staying robust to parametric uncertainties for all operating points of the system.

The idea is to change the value r-max in the support of the fuzzy set in entrance which is the value of threshold of the normal operating mode of the system by the adaptive threshold value ΔRmax given by equation 9 as shown by Fig. 3. Then, any variation in control will generate modification in the normal operating mode thresholds of residuals, these thresholds will be used in the fuzzy logic mechanism to generate an adaptive fuzzy logic mechanism.

Figure 3. Residuals fuzzy sets supports

Where:

ΔRmax: is the normal operating mode adaptive threshold,

Rmin = Kr. ΔRmax

Rmax: is the maximal value of the residual in presence of fault.

For the residual’s variation, the following supports represented by Fig. 4 are used:

Figure 4. Residuals variation’s fuzzy sets supports

Where:

Δdmax : is the maximum residual’s variation in fault free case, it’s equal to Δdmax=2* ΔRmax (since the thresholds are symmetric the variation of the residual cannot exceed 2* ΔRmax)

Dmin= Kd. Δdmax

Dmax : is the maximal residual’s variation in presence of fault.

So, adaptive fuzzification which is changing according to the control is obtained. The inference mechanism as well as the defuzzification rules has not to be modified.

To isolate the faulty component, the FSM can be rewritten by replacing “1” by "Large" and “0” by "Small". This allows writing inference rules in the form:

IF Fault_index_1 is ("Small"/"Large") and Fault_index_2 is ("Small"/"Large")…and Fault_index_N is ("Small"/"Large") THEN Fault_j is ("Small"/"Large").

V. APPLICATION EXAMPLE

A. Presentation of the benchmark:

Let us consider the following hydraulic system (Fig. 5):

Figure 5. Real hydraulic system

This system is composed of three tanks T1, T2 and T3 respectively of diameters D1, D2 and D3; water level in tanks, H1, H2 and H3 (proportional respectively to the pressures P1, P2 and P3) is measured by 3 level sensors. This system is fed by two pumps which deliver flows Sf1 (flow of entrance on T1) and Sf2 (flow of entrance on T3).

Tanks T1 and T2 communicate through valve V12, tanks T2 and T3 communicate through valve V23 of diameter Sv. Each tank has a draining valve noted Vi (i=1 to 3). Two flow sensors are placed in the exit of valve 1 and 3.

In normal operating mode, it is assumed that all valves are open.

Flow of pump 1 vary according to the following variation

B. BG modelling and generation of ARRs:

A procedure described in [5] allows elaborating the non linear BG model of the system in integral causality as well as the corresponding model in derivative causality (Fig. 6).

Figure 6. BG model in preferred differential causality

From the model of Fig. 6, ARRs are established from structural equations in junctions 0:

VI. SIMULATION RESULTS

In this section, a comparison between Adaptive Binary FDI and Adaptive Fuzzy FDI methods is made.

For simulation, we used the matlab/simulink environment, and supposed that all uncertainties are equals to ±5%.

A. Case of 5% uncertainty:

1) Normal operating mode:

In fault free case, residuals are close to zero. The Binary

Logic and the Fuzzy FDI methods give the same isolation results (Fig. 7).

also their thresholds causing some detection errors.

Figure 8. Isolation by adaptive thresholds method

When the fault occurs, only valve V1’s fault index varies and passes to one, due to detection errors some perturbations on this index are observed, while others different components’ fault indexes still at 0.

b) Fuzzy logic FDI method: Compared to the adaptive

thresholds based method, the proposed adaptive fuzzy method

proved to be more robust to parameters uncertainties. The

proposed detection approach filters all perturbations in

residuals and detects faults in residuals 1 and 4. All others

residuals fault indexes still equals or near to zero.

The enhancements in the detection stage affect isolation results. Faulty component (V1) is perfectly isolated (Fig. 9).

B. Case of no well estimated uncertainties:

In real systems, the wear of components can cause a little change in parameters uncertainties. So, we will study the effects of these faulty estimated uncertainties in the performances of the fuzzy FDI system compared to the classical one. In this case, we suppose that the real system is affected by 7% uncertainty while the model has 5%.

Figure 12. Binary logic isolation results

648

We notice that the residuals’ fault indexes and components’ fault indexes present perturbations and passages from 0 to 1. Those perturbations are due to the faulty estimated parametric uncertainties that are not taken into account when determining the adaptative thresholds. So, the determined thresholds are frequently exceeded causing then false alarms.

b) Fuzzy logic FDI method: In the faults intervals, we

notice that only reisuals r2 and r3 passes to 1 while others

residuals still equal to zero, this indicates a fault affecting

V23. Outside these intervals, all indexes are equals to 0

signaling a normal operating mode of the system.

The Fuzzy FSM gives the results of Fig. 13.

Figure 13. Fuzzy logic isolation results

Fig. 13 shows clearly a perfect isolation of the faulty component since fault index of component V23 reaches 1 when the fault occurs. While the others components don’t show any abnormal bahaviour.

VII. CONCLUSION

In this paper an adaptive fuzzy FDI method is proposed. The detection is based on a fuzzy logic method combined with an adaptive thresholds generation approach, so, an adaptive fuzzy logic detection mechanism changing according to the control is generated. For isolation, the FSM is transformed into fuzzy rules allowing the generation of components’ fault indexes indicating the state of components.

According to simulations, the proposed approach proved to be more efficient and robust compared to the adaptive thresholds binary method. In case of well known uncertainties, simulations show that the direct method is very sensitive to the value of uncertainty; it requires its exact value which is not always provided and even if it is the case some variations in the residuals’ behavior cannot be predicted mathematically which can cause false alarms. The superiority of the adaptive proposed method is shown especially in case of faulty estimated uncertainties, we notice there the improvements given by the new approach by localizing the exact cause of fault reducing then false alarms.
