Abstract

Systems and Methods for model-based sensor fault detection and isolation. The systems and method may include receiving a plurality of measured tuning inputs associated with an operating parameter of an engine, providing a plurality of parameter estimation modules that utilize one or more component performance maps having adjustable knobs to generate model outputs, where each parameter estimation module is configured independently of a respective one of the operating parameters of the engine, and where each parameter estimation module generates the model outputs based upon fundamental inputs associated with the engine. The systems and methods may further include calculating residual values for each parameter estimation module, adjusting knobs of each parameter estimation module, and determining that a sensor associated with a measured tuning input or a fundamental input is faulty based at least in part upon values of the knobs and residual values.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the invention relate generally to sensor fault detection and isolation, and more particularly to model-based sensor fault detection and isolation for engines such as gas turbine engines. Background technique [0002] The control and operation of current gas turbine engines relies heavily on information received from sensors. Specifically, the data received from the sensors is used by the control model to determine whether any control adjustments are to be made. However, the control model does not operate the gas turbine engine effectively when one or more sensors fail or otherwise provide inaccurate data. [0003] Current fault detection and isolation methods are only effective when the utilized system model matches actual system operation. In practice, missed sensor faults and false fault detections often occur when the utilized system model does not match the actual system operation. Therefore, there is a need in the industry for model-...
