I. INTRODUCTION
FAULT diagnosis technology has become a significant
research topic in various industrial systems due to the
increasing requirements for higher reliability and safety [1].
In recent years, the main direction in terms of system relia-
bility is concentrated on the large amplitude of faults via the
model-based method. In general, the model-based fault detec-
tion and isolation (FDI) is an effective tool for an accurate
system model, especially the actuator and sensor faults [2].
However, there may exist incipient fault, which is easily cov-
ered by modeling error, external disturbances, or measurement
noises. It is difficult to guarantee the tradeoff between the
robustness against the disturbances and the sensibility for the
faults. Hence, the model-based method has certain limitations
for incipient fault. Though the degree of a system deviation
from its normal state is relatively inconspicuous when an incip-
ient fault occurs at the early stage, it may still pose a significant
security risk to the system over time. If the incipient faults

can be accurately detected and isolated earlier by an FDI tech-
nique, the system will be regularly maintained and overhauled.
By doing so, people can reduce or avoid the occurrence of
catastrophic faults. Therefore, a data-driven gap metric FDI
(DDGMFDI) method is expected to detect and isolate incipient
faults.
Residual generator plays a key role for fault diagnosis
in terms of the model-based method, which mainly consists
of two categories: 1) deterministic model framework and 2)
stochastic model framework [6]. For the former, a lot of
work has been done in this field, for example, [4], [5], [7]–
[10]. In parallel with the development of the deterministic
model method, the stochastic framework has also captured
wide attention since the 1970s. A common fault detection
(FD) approach was first presented based on the Kalman fil-
ter to generate residual signals and then the faults can be
detected via the changes of the mean for the residual sig-
nals [12]. A slice of statistical tools, such as χ2testing [13],
the cumulative sum algorithm [14], multiple hypothesis test-
ing [15], and generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) [16],
were further applied to check the possibility of fault occur-
rence [6]. Meanwhile, the parameter estimation method via
a system identification technique [e.g., recursive least square
estimation (RLSE)] is also powerful for stochastic fault diag-
nosis [17], [18]. In recent years, many researchers have done
a lot of work in a stochastic framework. To detect and iden-
tify incipient faults for high-speed trains, Chen et al. [40]
and Jafari et al. [46] developed a novel robust FD and diag-
nosis approach. Similarly, a data-driven robust FDI scheme
was proposed to apply in a three-phase induction motor with
small magnitude faults [41]. Jiang et al. [42] came up with
a stochastic representation of maximized mutual information
analysis approach to achieve quality monitoring and faults
detection. Xue et al. [44] put forward an optimal data-driven
approach to address the issue of distribution independent
FD for stochastic linear discrete-time systems. Meanwhile,
Raptis and Noursadeghi [45] developed a distributed FDI filter
for stochastic nonlinear systems subjected to multiple fail-
ure modes. A new bearing fault diagnosis algorithm based
on the approach of moments for stochastic resonant systems
was investigated in [47].
With the rapid development of information and commu-
nication technology, a huge amount of input/output data
for the industrial process can be stored [20]–[22]. Thus,
the data-driven FDI approach has attracted wide attention.
See [23]–[25] and [43] for details. Roughly speaking, the gap
metric is used to measure the distance between two closed

subspaces in the Hilbert space [26], [27]. In other words, it
can determine the variation of a system’s closed-loop char-
acteristics when a component fault occurs. As we know, the
component faults may be caused by certain parameter vari-
ations. They will have a certain impact on the zero-pole
distribution of the closed-loop system. Furthermore, it may
affect the closed-loop characteristics. In order to analyze
directly the influence of parameter variation on the system,
a performance index that quantifies this effect is essential.
Fortunately, the gap metric can exactly measure the impact of
the variations caused by certain component faults. Meanwhile,
the gap metric technique is also critical for stability analy-
sis in robust control [28]–[32]. There has been much progress
of the gap metric for fault detectability, fault isolability, and
threshold computation [3], [11], [33], [34]. More recently, the
data-driven calculation of the gap metric between two linear
time-invariant (LTI) systems was suggested in [35] through
the data-driven realization of the stable image representa-
tion (SIR) [36]–[38]. With the above preparations, a novel
DDGMFDI approach is proposed for incipient component
faults in this article.
The contributions of this article are summarized as follows.
1) An integrated FDI scheme is proposed. The proposed
approach could deal with most of the faults that may
occur in practical applications, for example, sensor
faults, actuator faults, or component faults. In contrast,
the existing results only focus on one aspect, that is,
the traditional model-based method for actuator and sen-
sor fault or the data-driven approach. To the best of our
knowledge, it is not easy for the model-based method to
balance the tradeoff between the robustness against the
disturbances and the sensibility for the incipient faults,
while the data-driven approach shall cost huge com-
putation. Meanwhile, there are few reports concerning
the component faults, but it has an important impact on
system stability.
2) A novel DDGM approach is developed to realize FDI of
the incipient faults. The incipient component faults are
easily covered by external disturbances in a traditional
model-based FDI method. Our scheme shows the effec-
tiveness for incipient component faults from a system
closed-loop characteristic viewpoint with a gap metric
technique.
3) A design method for determining the appropriate fault
cluster center model and radius is suggested. To enhance
the fault isolability, a design method that aims to deter-
mine the appropriate fault cluster center model and
radius via the gap metric technique is presented.
The remainder of this article is organized as follows. In
Section II, some preliminaries and the problem formulation are
introduced. Section III develops the model-based fault diagno-
sis strategy combining the adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) and
the GLRT. In Section IV, the DDGMFDI approach is formu-
lated. The last section concludes the results and presents the
future research direction.
The following notations will be adopted throughout this arti-
cle. H2denotes the subspace of all signals that are bounded
energy and zero for t<0. Hrepresents the set of all stable
transfer functions. RHstands for the set of all real rational
transfer functions of stable systems. ·
is the H-norm.
¯σdenotes the maximum singular value of a matrix. (·)is the
complex conjugate transpose of a matrix.
II. PRELIMINARIES AND PROBLEM FORMULATION
In this section, we briefly introduce the process description
and recall the definitions of SIR, gap metric.
A. Process Description
Consider a discrete-time plant Gwith its model of the form
x(k+1)=Ax(k)+Bu(k)+Eff(k)+w(k)
y(k)=Cx(k)+Fff(k)+v(k)(1)
where x(k)Rn,u(k)Rku,y(k)Rky,w(k)Rn,
and v(k)Rkydenote the state, control input, measurement
output, process noise, and measurement noise of the system,
respectively. w(k)and v(k)are normally distributed and statis-
tically independent of u(k)and x(0)with Qw(k)Rn×nand
Rv(k)Rky×kybeing the corresponding covariance matrices.
A,B, and Care parameter matrices with compatible dimen-
sions. f(k)=[fA,fS]Tdenotes the fault of the plant. More
specifically, fA=θrepresents the actuator gain loss fault,
where θRkudenotes the actuator gain loss coefficient
belonging to [0, 1]. fS=ςstands for the sensor offset fault,
which can be described by a constant. Ef=[(k), 0], where
(k)is a known matrix sequence. Ff=[0,C].
The term (kindicates the loss of actuator gain. Once
the actuator fault occurs, the control term Bu(k)becomes
BIkudiag)u(k)=Bu(k)Bdiag(u(k))θ
where Ikuis an identity matrix, and (k)Rn×kuis
defined as
(k)=−Bdiag(u(k)).
When a component fault occurs, Aand Bof system G
change to
A−→ Af(k), B−→ Bf(k)
where Af(k)and Bf(k)are the parameter matrices with
component fault.
This article mainly focuses on incipient component faults.
A crucial issue is the decoupling among different faults in the
system. For instance, the occurrence of the component fault
has a weak effect on the fault diagnosis of fA. This problem
can be addressed by resorting to an AKF.
Remark 1: Incipient faults generally refer to slight changes
relative to the normal system state, which have a strong hidden
at the early stage. Meanwhile, they may lead to faults or even
damage over time [48], [49]. Generally speaking, incipient
faults are normally caused by the aged components or some
abnormal operation [50]. Unfortunately, there are no uniform
and standard definitions for incipient faults yet, however, a lot
of researchers had come up with the key features [51]–[53].

B. SIR and Gap Metric
In this section, the definition of SIR will be given. We first
introduce the transfer function representation of a nominal LTI
system G0
y(z)=G0(z)u(z).
As shown in [28], G0(z)has the following right coprime
factorizations (RCFs) form:
G0(z)=N(z)M1(z)(2)
where (M,N)is the right coprime (RC) pair over RH.If
M(z)M(z)+N(z)N(z)=Iku×ku, the RCF is said to be nor-
malized. The corresponding system model form of the SIR
representation of G0can be described by
u(z)
y(z)=ϕι(z), ϕ =M(z)
N(z)(z)H2(3)
where ϕdenotes the SIR of system G0. Similarly, if RCF (2)
is normalized, (3) is called the normalized SIR. It is clear that
for ι(z)H2, all pairs (u,y)are from a closed H2subspace.
This subspace can be represented as
G=z=u
y=M(z)
N(z)ι, ι(z)H2.(4)
According to (3) and (4), let G1=¯

be the normalized RCF of G1and G2, respectively. The
directed gap metric
δ(G1,G2)for two graphs G1and G2can
be defined as
δ(G1,G2)=sup
z1SIS(G1)
inf
z2SIS(G2)z1z22

(5)
where SIS(·)denotes stable image space [35]. It is easy to
find that 0
δ(G1,G2)1. The calculation scheme of gap
metric is introduced in the sequel.

the following model matching problem:
δ(G1,G2)=inf

If δ(G1,G2)<1, one has
δ(G1,G2)=
δ(G1,G2)=
δ(G2,G1).
III. AKF AND GLTR
In this part, we will introduce the results of AKF and GLRT.
For actuator fault, the actuator gain θcan be estimated via
AKF. For sensor fault, the residual signals can be obtained
by a residual generator that is designed through AKF. Then,
the mean variation of residual signals can be detected via the
GLRT method.
A. Fault Diagnosis for Actuator Fault
It is noted that the AKF consists of two parts: 1) the classical
Kalman filter for state estimation and 2) the RLS algorithm
for parameter estimation. First, an assumption is needed.
Assumption 1 [19]: The pair [AF(k), Q(1/2)
w] is uniformly
completely controllable, and [AF(k), C] is uniformly com-
pletely observable, in the sense of the uniform positive
definiteness of the corresponding Gramian matrices.
Remark 2: Compared to the LTI system for the require-
ment of conventional observability condition, we can regard
system (1) as a linear time-varying system when a fault occurs.
Actually, the uniformly completely observable condition is
necessary for ensuring the convergency of the adaptive system
parameters.
The AKF can be formulated as
P(k|k1)=AF(k)P(k1|k1)AT
F(k)+Qw(k)
(k)=CP(k|k1)CT+Rv(k)
K(k)=P(k|k1)CT1(k)
P(k|k)=[InK(k)C]P(k|k1)

where (k)Rn×ku,(k)Rky×ku,ϒ(k)Rku×ky, and
(k)Rku×kuare the recursively auxiliary matrices, respec-
tively. γ(0,1)is the forgetting factor. ˆ
θstands for the
parameter estimation for θ.ˆx(k|k)denotes the state estimation
for x(k).ˆy(k)represents the output estimation for y(k). The ini-
tial state x(0)satisfies x(0)N(x0,P0), where ˆx(0|0)=x0
and P(0|0)=P0. By estimating the parameter θ, fault diagno-
sis of the actuator can be performed. Next, we will put forward
the GLRT method for the sensor fault.

white Gaussian process
r(k)=y(k)−ˆy(k)=e(k), r(k)N(0,I).
This is the case of fault-free. Meanwhile, r(k)is a zero-mean
white Gaussian process. Note that there will be a change in the
mean value if a fault occurs, and the change can be determined
via the GLRT approach.
Suppose that the residual signals are available. Then
rs(k)=

According to [5], we can directly obtain the following decision
rule:
Jth,fault-free
>Jth,fault (7)
where =rT
s(k)rs(k)denotes the testing statistic. To reduce
the fault false-alarm rate, we need to choose an appropri-
ate threshold Jth. To this end, we can suggest the following
relation:
probχ2s,J2
r>Jth=α(8)
where sand J2
rdenote the degree of freedom and the non-
centrality parameter of the noncentral χ2distribution, respec-
tively. αstands for the fault false alarm rate. Therefore, the
sensor fault can be detected by the GLRT method. However,
for the incipient component faults, we need to propose a novel
FDI method in the next section.
IV. DDGMFDI METHOD
Here, we propose the DDGMFDI method for component
fault in system (1). To achieve it, the main work consists of
two parts.
1) The data-driven realization of the gap metric via the SIR
identification technique.
2) The construction of an appropriate fault cluster center
model.
A. Date-Driven Gap Metric Matrices
According to (6), the Hankel matrix can be formulated as
Uk,s=[us(kN+1)··· us(k)]R(s+1)·ku×N
Yk,s=ys(kN+1)··· ys(k)R(s+1)·ky×N
where Nis a positive integer. The input/output dataset can be
divided into past and current ones, which are described by the
subscript pand f, respectively. Hence, we define the following
notations:
zp(k)=us(ks)
ys(ks),zf(k)=us(k)
ys(k).
This yields
Zp,k=Up
Yp=Uksp1,sp
Yksp1,sp.
Without loss of generality, we assume that sp=s.
Based on the above discussions, the definition of the
realization of a data-driven SIR is introduced.
Definition 1: Assume that system (1) with w(k)=0 and
v(k)=0 is sufficiently excited by the input signal u(k).Ifan
integer ssatisfies: β(k)Rrsuch that
us(k)
ys(k)=Id,szp(k)
β(k)=[Id,pId,f]zp(k)
β(k).
Id,sis called a data-driven realization of the SIR.
Definition 2: The data-driven SIR is normalized if
IT
d,fId,f=I. To distinguish the normalized and general forms
of SIR, the former will be denoted by ¯
Id,s.
To calculate the data-driven SIR, an LQ decomposition of
the input/output dataset is suggested as

B. DDGMFDI for Component Fault
As mentioned in Section I, the occurrence of a component
fault will affect the performance of the closed-loop system.
Hence, the FDI of component fault is important for enhancing
system reliability. The gap metric method is an appropriate
technique to detect component faults. We can identify the SIR
of the nominal system G0and the operating system Gwith
measurement noises through the off line way. Then, the maxi-
mal gap metric δd,s(G,G0)is available as a threshold δth.The
FD logic is described by
δd,s(G,G0)δth,fault-free
δd,s(G,G0)
th,fault.(10)
To isolate the component faults, we first need to introduce the
following definition.
Definition 3: The faults Gfi,i=1,...,L, are isolable, if
GfiSfi,Gfi/Sfj,i= j,j=1,...,L
with
GfiGf:δGf,GFiδi,0
i<1
where Gfi[shown in Fig. 1(a)] denotes the graph of a system
in the case of faults. Sfiis the set of all graphs for the faulty
systems, namely, a fault cluster. GFidenotes a center to the
fault cluster. δiis a radius of the fault cluster.
Fig. 1(a) characterizes the schematic diagram of FI via
the gap metric technique. Similar to [3], we can present the
condition of FI.
In Fig. 1(a), the fault Gfiis isolable, if i,j,i= j,i,j=
1,...,L
δGfi,Gfj
i+δj.(11)
Remark 3: Assume that δ(Gfi,Gfj)δi+δj. In such a case,
points Gf1and Gf2are depicted in Fig. 1(b), which means
GfiSfiSfj.
This contradicts with Definition 3. Thus, the fault is isolable
under condition (11).
We emphasize that condition (11) is critical for investigat-
ing the FI problem via the gap metric method no matter it
is actuator fault, sensor fault, or component fault. However,
condition (11) is associated with the choice of the fault clus-
ter center model GFiand the fault cluster radius δi. If these
parameters are not properly selected, the case of Fig. 1(b)
may occur. To deal with this problem, two related lemmas are
needed.
Lemma 4 [31]: Given two real rational transfer functions
G1=k1/(s+1)and G2=k2/(s+1)for any k1and k2, one
has
δ(G1,G2)=
|k1k2|
|k1|+|k2|,|k1k2|>1
|k1k2|
1+k2
11+k2
2,|k1k2|1.
Lemma 5 [39]: Let G1and G2be any two closed operators
in C.IfG1and G2are single-input single-output and have
dense ranges, it follows that:
δ(G1,G2)=sup
ωR
|G1(jω)G2(jω)|
1+|G1(jω)|21+|G2(jω)|2.
Remark 4: In practice, Lemma 5 is the so-called ν-gap
metric in the robust control theory [27]. Without taking into
account the so-called winding number condition [3], [28],
the ν-gap metric is identical with the gap metric under a
considerable framework.
With Lemmas 4 and 5, an appropriate fault cluster center
model can be developed in the following theorem.
Theorem 1: Given the fault model Gfi(s)=βfim/(s+1),
0

fi
2,m= 0, i=1,...,L, where βfistands for
the amplitude of a fault. β1and β2denote its lower and upper
bounds. The corresponding fault cluster can be represented
by Sfiand the appropriate fault cluster center model gain β01
satisfies
β01=
β1β2, β1β2m2 >1
β11+β2
2m2+β21+β2
1m2
1+β2
1m2+1+β2
2m2, β1β2m2 1.
Proof: Given a fault plant
Gf(s)=βfm

our aim is to find an appropriate fault cluster center model
Gf01(s)=β01m

in the sense of

According to Lemma 4, it yields

Remark 5: The single schematic diagram of the appropri-
ate fault cluster center model Gf01under |β1β2m2|>1 can be
found in Fig. 2. The β-axis denotes the variation of the fault
amplitude, while the δ-axis stands for the corresponding posi-
tion of this fault model under gap metric. Generally speaking,
for the variation range 1
2)of the fault amplitude, a suit-
able fault cluster center parameter may be set to 1+β2)/2in
subconscious. However, Theorem 1 presents an explicit value
of the fault cluster center parameter β1β2, which is more
appropriate for the considered problem.

This ends the proof.
Remark 6: Compared to Theorem 1, Theorem 2 considers
a fault that has any influence on the system pole-zero location
and stability. Similarly, the single schematic diagram of the
appropriate fault cluster center model Gf02under the gap metric
is plotted in Fig. 3. It is interesting noting that the appropriate
fault cluster center model is close to G2in Theorem 2, which
is different from Theorem 1.

formulated as

Fig. 4 is the overall structure diagram of the FDI system.
Remark 7: Our proposed method matches the framework
of [3], [11], and [54], and the main difference may be just the
system model. As [54] shows, the operation mechanism and
the structure of the wind turbine system are more complicated,
and it is easy to occur all kinds of faults in harsh environ-
ments, especially offshore wind turbines. If varying faults can
be detected and isolated at their early stages (we call them
incipient faults in our research), some damages and danger-
ous situations may be avoided in wind turbine systems. On the
other hand, different systems have their own particularities,

including the dynamics, the description of faults, the sensi-
bility for external disturbances, and so on. In other words,
circumstances alter cases. Therefore, we should make a con-
crete analysis of the considered problem. To sum up, the main
result of our research provides an integrated model-based and
data-driven gap metric approach for different faults. We are
trying our best to apply it to other industrial systems and the
research advance will be reported in the near future.
Remark 8: According to Algorithm 1, the proposed data-
driven approach can be implemented in two steps: 1) offline
identification SIR and 2) online calculation gap metric. For
the former, it has no effect on the real-time performance of
the considerable plant. For the latter, a lag will appear for the
real-time response and its value depends on the size of the
data in the data-driven approach.
V. NUMERICAL EXAMPLE

approach through an example.

Figs. 7 and 8. We can see that the AKF combined with the
GLRT scheme is effective for our purpose.
C. FDI for Component Faults
According to (16), three types of component faults are
considered. First, we know that component faults are always
decoupled with actuator faults (see Fig. 9). The FD of compo-
nent faults has also been investigated via the GLTR approach
as in Fig. 10. It is clear that the change of resistance param-
eter [see Fig. 10(a)] can be successfully detected. However,
as shown in Fig. 10(b) and (c), the GLRT approach does not
seem to be suitable for the inductor and capacitor cases. To
illustrate it, we plot the output error e(k). It is obvious that the
change of e(k)induced by the resistance parameter is much
larger than those by the inductor and capacitor. In other words,
the parameter variations of inductor and capacitor have a weak
effect on residual signal r(k).
We perform the simulation results of the same cases in
Fig. 11. It is found that the incipient component faults for
inductor and capacitor can be effectively detected via the
DDGM technique.
For FI of incipient faults, an appropriate fault cluster cen-
ter and radius are crucial to enhance the isolability of a fault.
From Table I, these component parameters in faulty case sat-
isfy 1.5
A1<20, 0
A2<0.8, and 0
A3<0.8. In
terms of (14), we can capture the appropriate fault cluster cen-
ter model parameters βR0=11, βL0=0.45, and βC0=0.41.
Applying the calculation scheme of the gap metric results in
δGfR0,GfL0=0.6467
GfR0,GfC0=0.6886
δGfL0,GfC0=0.4204.
From Theorem 2, the corresponding fault cluster radii can be
obtained with
δR=0.3465
L=0.3001
C=0.1202.
Fig. 12 gives the simulation, where Gdenotes the plant
with component fault and noise. GfR0,GfL0, and GfC0stand
for the corresponding fault cluster center model. It is obvi-
ous that δ(G,GfR0)<δ
R,δ(G,GfL0)>δ

δCin Fig. 12(a) all the time. Then, we can conclude that
the location of fault occurrence is resistance R. Meanwhile,
Fig. 12(b) and (c) demonstrates the locations of fault occur-
rence for inductor L1and capacitor C1, respectively. It is
evident that the proposed DDGM fault isolation method is
effective for the incipient component faults.
VI. CONCLUSION
In this article, we have developed an integrated model-based
and data-driven gap metric approach for actuator fault, sensor
fault, and component fault. For actuator fault and sensor fault,
an algorithm has been put forward to address them. For an
incipient fault, the model-based FDI has inherent flaws due to
the existence of external disturbances or measurement noises.
Hence, a novel DDGMFDI algorithm has been presented. To
enhance the faulty isolability, we have given a design algo-
rithm of an appropriate fault cluster center model and the
corresponding fault cluster radius. Simulation results for the
incipient component faults have indicated the effectiveness of
the proposed approach. This article provides a scheme for
the fusion of the different fault diagnosis approaches. Future
work will focus on the fault-tolerant control via the gap metric
technique.

... As a critical role of health management technique, research on the compound fault diagnosis of wind turbine gearbox was highly focused by a group of international and domestic academics. In general, they can be categorized as mechanism analyses [6] and data-driven method [7]. The above diagnosis methods can identify the gearbox compound fault with good performance in terms of classification accuracy and execution efficiency [8]. ...

The impact of the hyperparameter matrix including the maximum tree depth (MTD), minimum child weight (MCW), sample sampling rate (SSR), and feature sampling rate (FSR) on the testing accuracy is shown in Fig. 7. The candidate set of MCW is [1][2][3][4][5][6], MTD is [4][5][6][7][8][9], SSR and FSR are [0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80]. ...

... Compared with the current research results, the main contributions of this paper are mainly reflected in three aspects. Firstly, actuator faults, switching topologies and multiple leaders are considered simultaneously, which is more complex and challenging than the works of [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Secondly, the proposed formation control method can deal with the loss of effectiveness fault and bias fault at the same time, which can overcome the limitation of [30][31] that only can deal with bias actuator faults. ...

In this paper, the fault-tolerant time-varying formation tracking control problem for high-order linear multi-agent systems with multiple leaders is studied in the case of actuator faults and switching topologies, where the control inputs of the leaders are unknown. Followers form a predefined formation while tracking the convex combination of the states of the multiple leaders. Based on the adjacent relative information of agents, a fault-tolerant time-varying formation control protocol is constructed to compensate for the bias fault, loss of effectiveness fault, and unknown control inputs of the leaders. The feasible conditions of formation are given. In addition, a new algorithm is proposed to determine the parameters of the formation control protocol. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved based on Lyapunov theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the theory is verified by simulations.
... The influence of the measurement noises or disturbances to the system performance can be attenuated/eliminated by some mature robust control techniques, e.g., H ∞ control, reliable state feedback control, active disturbance rejection control, disturbance-observer-based control, etc. On the other hand, it is very important to address the issue of fault detection and isolation for the sensor/actuator failure case [56]- [58]. Even though the adaptive fuzzy control schemes of this article are proposed for ideal state measurement case, it is feasible to further deal with the issue of fault isolation and reliable control design for nonlinear spatiotemporal dynamic systems subject to measurement disturbances. ...

The issue of spatiotemporal adaptive fuzzy state profile tracking (SAFSPT) control is addressed in this study for parabolic partial differential systems (PPDSs) on a hypercube exposed to unknown nonlinear dynamics. Specifically, a spatiotemporal fuzzy set on a hypercube is first constructed from the three-dimensional fuzzy set on a simple 1-D space domain to completely take into account the spatiotemporal coupling property of the PPDS state. Then a spatiotemporal fuzzy system is developed via the spatiotemporal fuzzy set to approximate any real continuous functions on an open subset of a separable Hilbert space. It is shown that any continuous functions can be approximated by the proposed spatiotemporal fuzzy system in arbitrary precision. Both indirect and direct SAFSPT control strategies are put forth with the use of the spatiotemporal fuzzy system. The closed-loop tracking error system's stability is thoroughly examined in terms of Lyapunov stability. Finally, the effectiveness and benefit of theoretical results are illustrated by extensive simulation experiments.

This article investigates an event-triggered interval observer (ETIO) fault detection and isolation method for multiagent systems. First, an event-triggered mechanism is developed to reduce unnecessary communication transmission. Then, a distributed ETIO is designed by combining an interval observer and the proposed event-triggered mechanism. Furthermore, for achieving the desired tradeoff between the robustness to disturbances and the sensitivity to faults, the ETIO is formulated as a multiobjective optimization with $ l_{1}$ $/$ $ H_{\infty}$ performance. Second, a bank of ETIOs are interpreted to isolate the faulty agent on a local agent using only the output information from itself and its neighbors. Comparison result with the existing method is given to highlight the superiority of our methodology. Finally, the multiunmanned aerial vehicles system is utilized as the case research, and specific simulation results are presented.

This paper investigates the fault diagnosis scheme for parallel lithium-ion battery packs with main current sensor fault and battery internal resistance (BIR) fault. First of all, an equivalent circuit model of a single cell battery is established, which paves the way for constructing a state space model of parallel lithium-ion battery packs. Based on it, an adaptive Kalman filter is designed to estimate the gain loss coefficient of the main current sensor fault. More importantly, the proposed method enables to use the estimated fault information to achieve the fault-tolerant estimate for state-of-charge. For a BIR fault, a data-driven fault detection approach using stable kernel representation is developed from a residual generation point of view. To reduce fault false alarms, a detection residual evaluator is designed to meet the desired performance requirement. Finally, experiments and comparisons are implemented to indicate the effectiveness of our scheme and its outperformance over existing fault detection methods.

First, an adaptive event-triggered mechanism is developed to alleviate communication resource cost. A sliding mode observer based on thermal and electrical models of lithium-ion batteries is designed to generate equivalent output error injection signals.

The strategy for solving the sliding mode observer gain is presented. And the effect of system uncertainty on our proposed method is analyzed. Finally, experiments are implemented to verify the effectiveness of our developed scheme.

Modern industry processes are typically composed of multiple operating units with reaction interaction and energy–mass coupling, which result in a mixed time-varying and spatial–temporal coupling of process variables. It is challenging to develop a comprehensive and precise fault detection model for the multiple interconnected units by simple superposition of the individual unit models. In this study, the fault detection problem is formulated as a spatial–temporal fault detection problem utilizing process data of multiple interconnected unit processes. A spatial–temporal variational graph attention autoencoder (STVGATE) using interactive information is proposed for fault detection, which aims to effectively capture the spatial and temporal features of the interconnected unit processes. First, slow feature analysis (SFA) is implemented to extract temporal information that reveals the dynamic relevance of the process data. Then, an integration method of metric learning and prior knowledge is proposed to construct coupled spatial relationships based on temporal information. In addition, a variational graph attention autoencoder (VGATE) is suggested to extract temporal and spatial information for fault detection, which incorporates the dominances of variational inference and graph attention mechanisms. The proposed method can automatically extract and deeply mine spatial–temporal interactive feature information to boost detection performance. Finally, three industrial process experiments are performed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the proposed method dramatically increases the fault detection rate (FDR) and reduces the false alarm rate (FAR).

Wind energy is contributing to more and more portions in the world energy market. However, one deterrent to even greater investment in wind energy is the considerable failure rate of turbines. In particular, large wind turbines are expensive, with less tolerance for system performance degradations, unscheduled system shut downs, and even system damages caused by various malfunctions or faults occurring in system components such as rotor blades, hydraulic systems, generator, electronic control units, electric systems, sensors, and so forth. As a result, there is a high demand to improve the operation reliability, availability, and productivity of wind turbine systems. It is thus paramount to detect and identify any kinds of abnormalities as early as possible, predict potential faults and the remaining useful life of the components, and implement resilient control and management for minimizing performance degradation and economic cost, and avoiding dangerous situations. During the last 20 years, interesting and intensive research results were reported on fault diagnosis, prognosis, and resilient control techniques for wind turbine systems. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art overview on the existing fault diagnosis, prognosis, and resilient control methods and techniques for wind turbine systems, with particular attention on the results reported during the last decade. Finally, an overlook on the future development of the fault diagnosis, prognosis, and resilient control techniques for wind turbine systems is presented.

The principle of stochastic resonance (SR) in the noisy Duffing oscillator model has shown benefit for designing novel mechanical fault diagnosis algorithms, where noise is utilized rather than being eliminated. However, there is a clear gap between the model progress and the experimental application. In this paper, effort is made trying to narrow the gap by applying the method of moments to obtain the spectral amplification factor within the linear response range to improve the algorithm design, which avoids the conventional time-consuming direct simulations. A strategy for estimating noise, which is critical for programming the algorithm, is proposed and evaluated. Through simulation and experimental data analysis, it is confirmed that the new algorithm has advantages over the overdamped system-based methods as it does not depend on the signal preprocessing techniques using such as envelope extraction and high-pass filter. Also, the new method has advantages over the existing underdamped-system based methods as it can decrease the computational time for seeking the optimal parameter by at least one order of magnitude.

The design of a distributed fault detection and isolation filter is addressed for stochastic nonlinear systems subjected to multiple failure modes. The monolithic process is monitored by a network of communicating detection nodes, in lieu of a singleton, supervising diagnostic unit. Each detection node is a fault-sensitive estimator unit with processing capabilities and limited observation access to the process. The detection nodes exchange post-processed information over a communication network. An average consensus protocol is employed to fuse the detection nodes’ outputs to obtain an agreement over the local likelihood functions. The proposed approach conducts online hypothesis testing without a bank of estimators, reducing the computational complexity of the algorithm significantly. Numerical simulations validate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Here, a new fault detection and isolation (FDI) method based on linear optimisation is proposed for stochastic linear systems with unknown inputs. The stochastic system is discrete and its state and output equations are dependent on unknown inputs. Both stochastic/deterministic unknown inputs (external disturbances) and measurement noise are considered in the dynamic model; therefore, a simple and complete formulation of the robust FDI scheme is presented for stochastic systems. According to the proposed method, first an observable and controllable subsystem is found such that it is independent of the effect of unknown inputs. Then an innovation filter is used for the FDI task. Sufficient conditions to guarantee the stability and observability of the new subsystem are presented based on linear matrix inequalities. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and capability of the proposed method for FDI in stochastic systems with unknown inputs.

Diagnosing the fault as early as possible is significant to guarantee the safety and reliability of the high-speed train. Incipient fault always makes the monitored signals deviate from their normal values, which may lead to serious consequences gradually. Due to the obscure early stage symptoms, incipient faults are difficult to detect. This article develops a stacked generalization (stacking)-based incipient fault diagnosis scheme for the traction system of high-speed trains. To extract the fault feature from the faulty data signals, which are similar to the normal ones, the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), extra trees (ET), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) are chosen as the base estimators in the first layer of the stacking. Then, the logistic regression (LR) is taken as the meta estimator in the second layer to integrate the results from the base estimators for fault classification. Thanks to the generalization ability of stacking, the incipient fault diagnosis performance of the proposed stacking-based method is better than that of the single model (XGBoost, RF, ET, and LightGBM), although they can be used to detect the incipient faults, separately. Moreover, to find out the optimal hyperparameters of the base estimators, a swarm intelligent optimization algorithm, pigeon-inspired optimization (PIO), is employed. The proposed method is tested on a semiphysical platform of the CRH2 traction system in CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Company Ltd. The results show that the fault diagnosis rate of the proposed scheme is over 96%.

In this article, the fault detection (FD) filter design problem is addressed for discrete-time memristive neural networks with time delays. When constructing the system model, an event-triggered communication mechanism is investigated to reduce the communication burden and a fault weighting matrix function is adopted to improve the accuracy of the FD filter. Then, based on the Lyapunov functional theory, an augmented Lyapunov functional is constructed. By utilizing the summation inequality approach and the improved reciprocally convex combination method, an FD filter that guarantees the asymptotic stability and the prescribed $H_{\infty }$ performance level of the residual system is designed. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented results.

This paper is dedicated to the double-integrator dynamics subject to antagonistic interaction among participating individuals, apart from the unavailability of the velocity information on the interacting individuals. Unlike the dependence of the signed graph theory and structural balanced theory, eventually positive matrix is used to quantify antagonistic information among participating individuals, upon which the hypothesis of digon sign-symmetry imposed on the signed graph as broadly used in the literature can be entirely got rid of. Moreover, as an application, the “opinion" evolution of the agents is analyzed, and some criteria assuring all agents to share some steady “opinions" are presented. Simulation results are presented to well support the proposed setup and the derived theoretical results.

The main objective of this paper is to initiate a systematic application of gap metric techniques to the performance analysis and design issues of detecting and isolating multiplicative faults in uncertain systems. To be specific, in the first part of this paper, the K-gap and L2-gap metrics are introduced, which measure the distance between two kernel subspaces and serve as an efficient tool to deal with fault detection and isolation issues. Based on it, the K-gap and L2-gap aided analysis of residual dynamics with respect to model uncertainties is presented for the open-loop and feedback control systems, respectively. Furthermore, they are applied to deal with the performance analysis of fault detection systems. For this purpose, the concepts of fault detectability indicators and fault-to-uncertainty ratio are introduced. The second part of this paper is dedicated to the isolation of multiplicative faults. To this end, the definition for fault isolability is studied first with the aid of K-gap metric. The further efforts are devoted to the application of K-gap metric to two online fault isolation algorithms. The first one is an observer-based scheme, which adopts a bank of residual generators and an observer-based decision unit. The second scheme is based on the data-driven identification of the kernel representation of the faulty plant and the data-driven computation of the K-gap metric. Case and example studies are finally given to illustrate the proposed approaches.

In this paper, an optimal data-driven approach is proposed to deal with the problem of distribution independent fault detection (FD) for stochastic linear discrete-time systems. For this purpose, an observer-based residual generator is first constructed using process input and output data. Without exact probability distribution for noises and faults, the so-called confidence sets are constituted in terms of mean and covariance matrix to characterize residual in fault-free and faulty cases. On this basis, a stochastic optimization FD problem is formulated, which allows an integrated design of residual evaluation function and threshold towards maximizing fault detection rate (FDR) for an acceptable false alarm rate (FAR) in the worst-case setting. Furthermore, a data-driven formulation of the underlying FD problem is studied by constructing the confidence sets in terms of empirical estimates of mean and covariance matrix. Concerning the estimation uncertainties caused by the deviation of empirical mean and covariance matrix from their real values, the robustness of the proposed FD approach is investigated in the probabilistic context. Confidence levels of the obtained FAR and FDR are achieved quantitatively. Besides, algorithms are developed for the realization of the proposed FD system. A case study on a three-tank system illustrates the effectiveness of the demonstrated approach.

In this article, we propose a learning-based fault diagnosis approach for a class of nonlinear sampled-data systems. First, the unmodeled sampled dynamics is acquired by the using deterministic learning method. The knowledge of the sampled dynamics of the normal and fault patterns is stored in the form of constant neural networks. Second, a fault detection scheme is designed in which memories of the learned knowledge can be recalled to give a rapid response to a fault. Third, analytical results concerning the fault detection condition and detection time are derived. It is shown that the mismatch function plays an important role in the performance properties of the diagnosis scheme. To analyze the effect of mismatch function on the residual, the concept of duty ratio is developed. Moreover, by comparing the constant neural networks of the normal and fault patterns, an extraction operator is designed to capture the feature of the mismatch function. By using this method, the performance of the diagnosis scheme can be improved. A simulation study is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
