In this paper, the author proposed a nuclear power plant (NPP) instrumentation signal faults identification algorithm. A variational autoencoder (VAE)-based model is trained by using only normal dataset as same as existing anomaly detection method, and trained model predicts which signal within the entire signal set is anomalous. Classification of anomalous signals is performed based on the reconstruction error for each kind of signal and partial derivatives of reconstruction error with respect to the specific part of an input. Simulation was conducted to acquire the data for the experiments. Through the experiments, it was identified that the proposed signal fault identification method can specify the anomalous signals within acceptable range of error.

This paper presents a RLS based adaptive sliding mode observer (A-SMO) for unknown fault reconstruction in longitudinal autonomous driving. Securing the functional safety of autonomous vehicles from unexpected faults of sensors is essential for avoidance of fatal accidents. Because the magnitude and type of the faults cannot be known exactly, the RLS based A-SMO for unknown acceleration fault reconstruction has been designed with relationship function in this study. It is assumed that longitudinal acceleration of preceding vehicle can be obtained by using the V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) communication. The kinematic model that represents relative relation between subject and preceding vehicles has been used for fault reconstruction. In order to reconstruct fault signal in acceleration, the magnitude of the injection term has been adjusted by adaptation rule designed based on MIT rule. The proposed A-SMO in this study was developed in Matlab/Simulink environment. Performance evaluation has been conducted using the commercial software (CarMaker) with car-following scenario and evaluation results show that maximum reconstruction error ratios exist within range of ±10%.

This paper proposes an application of sliding mode observer to the problem of fault detection and reconstruction for descriptor systems with both actuator and sensor faults. In detecting and reconstructing the faults simultaneously, first, we will consider the fault detection problem for sensor fault. The detection of sensor fault is achieved from the design of the matrix which eliminates the influence of actuator fault. Secondly, the sliding mode observer which adds the general full-order observer for descriptor system to feedforward injection map and feedforward compensation signal is designed, and through which the sensor fault is reconstructed. Finally, with the reconstructed sensor fault, and by eliminating differential term of the sensor fault, the actuator fault is detected and reconstructed.

This paper presents a sliding mode observer-based fault detection algorithm for steering inputs of an all-terrain crane. All-terrain cranes with multi-axles have several steering modes for various working purposes. Since steering angles at the other axles except the first wheel are controlled by using the information of steering angle at the first wheel, a reliable signal of the first axle's steering angle should be secured for the driving safety of cranes. For the fault detection of steering input signal, a simplified crane model-based sliding mode observer has been used. Using a sliding mode observer with an equivalent output injection signal that represents an actual fault signal, a fault signal in steering input was reconstructed. The road steering mode of the crane's steering system was used to conduct performance evaluations of a proposed algorithm, and an arbitrary fault signal was applied to the steering angle at the first wheel. Since the road steering mode has different steering strategies according to different speed intervals, performance evaluations were conducted based on the curved path scenario with various speed conditions. The design of algorithms and performance evaluations were conducted on Matlab/Simulink environment, and evaluation results reveal that the proposed algorithm is capable of detecting and reconstructing a fault signal reasonably well.

The sensor based control system has some sensor fault while operating in the field. In this paper, a sensor fault detection and reconstruction system for a sun tracking controller has been researched by using polynomial regression and principle component analysis approach. The developed sun tracking system controls tow actuators with sensor based mechanism as on-line control and sun orbit information as off-line control, alternatively. To show the validity of the developed system, several experiments were illustrated.
