“…Time-driven model-based FDI is achieved by analysing fault indicators or residuals, which are signals obtained by comparing measured outputs of the monitored process with the corresponding simulated outputs. Three major techniques are used for residual generation (Patton, 1994;Isermann, 2005): the parameter estimation approach (Isermann, 1984;Isermann and Freyermuth, 1991) or, more recently (Fliess and Join, 2003;Fliess et al, 2004), the parity space approach (Gertler, 1991;Staroswiecki and Comtet-Varga, 2001) based on elimination (Diop, 1991;Cox et al, 1991;Staroswiecki and Comtet-Varga, 2001) or on projection (Chow and Willsky, 1984;Isidori, 1995;Leuschen et al, 2005), and the observer-based approach (Patton, 1994;Hammouri et al, 2001;Jiang et al, 2004;2006;Lootsma, 2001).…”
