Fault Detection by Continuous Dead-Beat Observation

• An application of continuous-time deadbeat observation to fault analysis in linear dynamic systems is discussed. A finite memory residual chosen as a difference of two deadbeat state vector estimates is shown to be independent of both the state vector and control signal. The mapping of the fault mode to the residual is proven to be intrinsically BIBO-stable. Exploiting a decomposition of the “sliding-window” convolution operator, an upper bound for residual norm is derived and a fault detectability condition is obtained. Due to its simple structure, the deadbeat observer does not create a hard computational burden and can be easily implemented in real-time applications.
