TLDR
A number of methods for detecting abrupt changes (such as failures) in stochastic dynamical systems are surveyed in this paper, where tradeoffs in complexity versus performance are discussed, ranging from the design of specific failure-sensitive filters, to the use of statistical tests on filter innovations, and the development of jump process formulations.
Abstract
A number of methods for detecting abrupt changes (such as failures) in stochastic dynamical systems are surveyed. The class of linear systems is concentrated on but the basic concepts, if not the detailed analyses, carry over to other classes of systems. The methods surveyed range from the design of specific failure-sensitive filters, to the use of statistical tests on filter innovations, to the development of jump process formulations. Tradeoffs in complexity versus performance are discussed.

Fault detection in DC distributed power systems based on impedance characteristics of modules

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel fault detection approach for DC distributed power systems that is able to detect DC bus stability margin online as well as to localize the fault to the troublemaking module.

Fault Detection Observer Design in Low Frequency Domain

TL;DR: The recently developed generalized Kalman-Yakubovic-Popov (KYP) lemma is used, which gives an accurate characterization of the H_ index in the low frequency domain, and an LMI-based method of designing fault detection observers is presented.

Finite Horizon Control Design for Optimal Model Discrimination

TL;DR: A method by which a finite sequence of control inputs is designed automatically in order to minimize an upper bound on the probability of model selection error between any two linear, discrete-time systems is presented.

Model-based fault diagnosis for hybrid systems: Application on chemical processes

TL;DR: This work presents a method for the fault detection based on the comparison between the real system and the reference model evolution generated by the extended Kalman filter, which is illustrated through a didactic example relating to the field of Chemical Process System Engineering.

A neural network approach to failure diagnostics for underwater vehicles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the use of Kalman filters and artificial neural networks to provide the detection and isolation of impending system failures in AUVs. But, the authors did not specify the training method and the resulting decision surface characterization of the networks so designed.
