Beschreibung
Guaranteeing a high system performance over a wide operating range is an important issue surrounding the design of automatic control systems with successively increasing complexity. As a key technology in the search for a solution, advanced fault detection and identification (FDI) is receiving considerable attention. This book introduces basic model-based FDI schemes, advanced analysis and design algorithms, and mathematical and control-theoretic tools. This second edition of Model-Based Fault Diagnosis Techniques contains: new material on fault isolation and identification and alarm management; extended and revised treatment of systematic threshold determination for systems with both deterministic unknown inputs and stochastic noises; addition of the continuouslystirred tank heater as a representative processindustrial benchmark; and enhanced discussion of residual evaluation which now deals with stochastic processes. Modelbased Fault Diagnosis Techniques will interest academic researchers working in fault identification and diagnosis and as a text it is suitable for graduate students in a formal universitybased course or as a selfstudy aid for practising engineers working with automatic control or mechatronic systems from backgrounds as diverse as chemical process and power engineering.
Autorenporträt
Steven X. Ding began investigating issues concerned with model-based fault detection and identification in 1986 during his PhD. Following a three-year stay in industry, in which he gained experience with the application of FDI techniques in real technical processes, he returned to academia and during the last 17 years has become a university professor and institute head. He has been involved with numerous national and international research grants and industrial projects in the development of advanced FDI methods and their application in different sectors of industry. He teaches fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant systems to Masters students and advanced FDI methods to PhD students at the University of Duisburg-Essen. He has also guest-lectured and taught courses on these subjects at other universities and research institutes. Professor Ding has published more than 80 journal and 130 conference papers associated with the field of FDI.
