As a crucial output component, a clutch pressure sensor is of great importance on monitoring and controlling a whole transmission system and a whole vehicle status, both of which play important roles in the safety and reliability of a vehicle. With the help of fault diagnosis, the fault state prediction of a pressure sensor is realized, and this lays the foundation for further fault-tolerant control. In this paper, a fault diagnosis method of Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is designed. Firstly, a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) valve model is established. A feed-forward input system is added to correct the first-order inertial link of the sensor on the second step. Finally, the parameters of the established system model are identified by using the measured data of the actual transmission and the Genetic Algorithm (GA). An identified model is then used for designing a fault observer. The constant output faults of 0, 3, and 5 V, pulse fault, and bias fault that enterprises are concerned with are selected to simulate and verify the fault observer under four different operating conditions. The results show that the designed fault observer has great fault diagnosis performance.

Hydraulic pump is a driving device of the hydraulic system, always working under harsh operating conditions, its fault diagnosis work is necessary for the smooth running of a hydraulic system. However, it is difficult to collect sufficient status information in practical operating processes. In order to achieve fault diagnosis with poor information, a novel fault diagnosis method that is the based on Symbolic Perceptually Important Point (SPIP) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is proposed. Perceptually important point technology is firstly imported into rotating machine fault diagnosis; it is applied to compress the original time-series into PIP series, which can depict the overall movement shape of original time series. The PIP series is transformed into symbolic series that will serve as feature series for HMM, Genetic Algorithm is used to optimize the symbolic space partition scheme. The Hidden Markov Model is then employed for fault classification. An experiment involves four operating conditions is applied to validate the proposed method. The results show that the fault classification accuracy of the proposed method reaches 99.625% when each testing sample only containing 250 points and the signal duration is 0.025 s. The proposed method could achieve good performance under poor information conditions.

Since the permeant magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) has many applications in particular safety-critical applications, enhancing PMSG availability has become essential. An effective tool for enhancing PMSG availability and reliability is continuous monitoring and diagnosis of the machine. Therefore, designing a robust fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant system (FTS) of PMSG is essential for such applications. This paper describes an FD method that monitors online stator winding partial inter-turn faults in PMSGs. The fault appears in the direct and quadrature (dq)-frame equations of the machine. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) were used to detect the percentage and the place of the fault. The proposed techniques have been simulated for different fault scenarios using Matlab®/Simulink®. The results of the EKF estimation responses simulation were validated with the practical implementation results of tests that were performed with a prototype PMSG used in the Arab Academy For Science and Technology (AAST) machine lab. The results showed impressive responses with different operating conditions when exposed to different fault states to prevent the development of complete failure.

Taking α-lattice flocking as research object, the influence when faults occur in flock and its fault tolerance control algorithm is studied. The impact on flocking performance is analyzed by means of flocking property indexes when communication error, actuator failure or sensor malfunction occur. A flocking fault diagnosis method and fault tolerance control strategy based on communication and data association are introduced. Considering failure mobile robots as obstacles, a complex shaped obstacles avoidance algorithm is proposed. Simulation shows the effectiveness of the method.

In this paper, an open-switch fault diagnosis method for five-level H-Bridge Neutral Point Piloted (HB-NPP) or T-type converters is proposed. While fault tolerant operation is based on three steps (fault detection, fault localization and system reconfiguration), a fast fault diagnosis, including both fault detection and localization, is mandatory to make a suitable response to an open-circuit fault in one of the switches of the converter. Furthermore, fault diagnosis is necessary in embedded and safety critical applications, to prevent further damage and perform continuity of service.In this paper, we present an open-switch fault diagnosis method, based on the switches control orders and the observation of the converter output voltage level. In five-level converters such as HB-NPP and T-type topologies, some switches are mostly 'on' at the same time. Therefore, the fault localization is quite complicated. The fault diagnosis method we proposed is capable to detect and localize an open-switch fault in all cases. Computer simulations are carried out by using Matlab Simulink and SimPowerSystem toolbox to validate the proposed approach.

The detection precision of fault diagnosis based on frequency spectral analysis of stator current is easily restricted by noise jamming and frequency resolution. A fault diagnosis method for induction motor based on linear mixing model is proposed to resolve this problem. The fault characteristic signals are separated from the motor stator current by Fast-ICA algorithm and its amplitude is calculated according to the estimated mixing matrix. The fault diagnosis is achieved by difference of the amplitude on the normal state and the fault state of the motor. In this paper, the fault diagnosis of the broken rotor bars faults is used as an example to explain the conclusion as mentioned. Experiment result shows that the broken-rotor-bar fault can be diagnosed by the algorithm with better effect on the condition of short data block.

This paper proposes a fault diagnosis and tolerant control methods for an open-switch fault caused in a three-phase three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) pulse-width modulation (PWM) active rectifier. The open-switch fault in the three-level NPC active rectifier causes a distortion in the input phase current and a ripple in the DC-link capacitor voltage. Therefore, proper fault diagnosis and tolerant control methods are required to prevent additional failures and performance degradation in the rectifier system. This paper conducted a detailed analysis of the effect of the single open-switch fault on the NPC PWM active rectifier and proposed a fault diagnosis method utilizing the DC link voltage and the phase angle of the input grid voltage. Furthermore, this paper proposes a fault-tolerant control method to reduce the effect of the open-switch fault by compensating a distorted reference voltage. The effectiveness of the proposed fault diagnosis and tolerant control methods are verified through experimental results.
