Interval Kernel PCA for Nonlinear Fault Detection and Isolation: Application to a Spacecraft Reaction Wheels
摘要
This research aims to develop a robust fault detection and isolation system for uncertain nonlinear processes. The proposed solution extends Kernel Principal Component Analysis to accommodate interval data, requiring the formulation of a resolution method for a parametric programming problem to construct the interval kernel model. The monitoring process incorporates interval extensions of residuals and principal component-based detection indices. For fault isolation, an interval-based extension of the unified contribution plots technique is introduced. Simulations on spacecraft reaction wheels data reveal that the proposed approach achieves higher fault detection rates and lower false alarm rates compared to existing nonlinear fault diagnosis methods. These findings highlight the effectiveness and practical potential of the proposed method for improving fault detection and isolation in complex, uncertain nonlinear systems.
