TSFS06 Diagnosis and Supervision, 6 ECTS credits.
/Diagnos och övervakning/

For:   D   I   Ii   IT   M   Y  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 54
Rec. self-study hours: 106

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
To give both a theoretical and practical basis for how to design systems that automatically detect and isolate faulty components in technical processes.
After the course is finished, the student shall:
  • know why diagnosis systems are used in different industrial application areas.
  • know how to analyze which faults in a complex process that need to be supervised to achieve the overall goals.
  • from a case description be able to structure the problem and develop principle and architechture for a complete implementation of a diagnosis system.
  • given a formal model description be able to choose suitable mathemematical methods to solve the problem.
  • know advantages and disadvantages of the different methods that are included in the course.
  • be able to apply mathematical tools and methods from a variety of previous courses to solve diagnosis problems.
  • be able to value and verify functionality and performance of a complete diagnosis system.
  • have a broad theoretical insight in the subject, deep enough to be able to understand and utilize new research results developed by the research community.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Automatic Control, Probability

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course is organized in lectures, problem solving sessions, and laborations.

Course contents:
  • Introduction: history and overview, practical application examples.
  • Principles for model based diagnosis: mathematical modelling of faults, detection and isolation of faults by means of models, consistency relations, analytical redundancy, decisions with structured hypothesis tests.
  • Control theory methods: linear and non-linear residual generation, observers and Kalman filters for diagnosis, residual evaluation, adaptive thresholding, statistical methods.
  • Logic based AI methods: basic principles, fault isolation algorithms.
  • Probability based diagnosis and Bayesian networks.
  • Other: fault trees and FMEA, statistical methods/change detection.
