Dynamic Threshold Design Based on Kalman Filter in Multiple Fault Diagnosis

The choice of threshold is an important part of fault diagnosis. Most of the current methods use a constant threshold for detection and it is difficult to meet the robustness and sensitivity requirements of the diagnosis system. This article develops a dynamic threshold algorithm for aircraft engine fault detection and isolation systems. The algorithm firstly analyzes the bounded norm uncertainty that may appear in the process of model based on the state space equation, and gives the time domain response range calculation formula under the influence of uncertain parameters; then the Kalman filter is combined to calculate the threshold with the real-time change of state; the simulation is performed at the end. The simulation results show that dynamic threshold range changes with status in real time.
