Abstract

In this paper, a design method to detect faults in plants with uncertainties is proposed. When a plant has faults, the plant will be corrupted by an unknown fault signal. In addition, the plant also includes uncertainties, such as disturbances and plant parameter deviations. In this case, the proposed method estimates the fault signal by using an adaptive observer. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
