摘要：Problems related to the design of observer-based parametric fault detection(PFD) systems are studied. The core of our study is to first describe the faults occurring in systemactuators, sensors and components in the form of additive parameter deviations, then to transformthe PFD problems into a similar additive fault setup, based on which an optimal observer-basedoptimization fault detection approach is proposed. A constructive solution optimal in the sense ofminimizing a certain performance index is developed. The main results consist of defining parametricfault detectability, formulating a PFD optimization problem and its solution. A numerical exampleto demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach is provided.
