ABSTRACT Thi paper will addre the reult of a recent tudy developing model baed technique uing analytical redundancy in the production of obervation reidual that are proceed for the on-line, real time detection of dynamic fault during the operation of AUV.

However, auming that the vehicle i equipped with highly reliable enor uite, connection, and computing component, it i of interet to ee if unexpected fault could be detected reliably o that ytem reconfiguration could be accomplihed to allow miion to be continued in ome fahion. A urvey of fault detection method indicate that alarm can be eaily monitored if ignal are tatic. Thi i done uing limit and trend analyi with threhold et for variou level of everity. With dynamic ignal, uch a thoe induced by an actuator fault in the form of a tuck fin, or a looe fin, or fouling of a propeller, the tranient nature of the ignal make limit and trend analyi invalid.

4 poible, o that ytem deign mut pay attention to a tudy of failure mode and their effect. In pite of the ue of good engineering practice, fault can occur. Two kind of fault identified are, 1) thoe that arie from malfunction in the hardware and oftware ubytem in the vehicle, 2) thoe that arie from environmental condition that are viewed a diturbance, and while thee may not be directly fault, they have the effect that the completion of a miion i jeopardized. An example of a hardware fault would be the lo of teering reulting from a tuck or looe fin. An example of a type 2 fault would the inability of the vehicle to take a data meaurement becaue of high ea tate in hallow water operation. To deign a ytem that will automatically detect the preence of a fault i the ubject of many paper. Thi problem i common to the aircraft, pacecraft, and proce indutrie, and much ha been written about method available. In general we can claify the method into thoe that ue imple limit and trend analyi, thoe that ue detection technique but which are without the ue of analytical model, and thoe that provide analytical model a the bai for detection filter [1,2]. The detection of tatu ignal uch a battery voltage, motor winding temperature, computer bay temperature, i relatively eay and accomplihed by the comparion of the meaured ignal with a previouly et threhold. Exceeding thoe threhold would indicate a fault condition for which ome action i taken for intance either to low down the vehicle peed or to abort the miion and urface. It i more difficult i to detect thoe fault that give rie to dynamic ignal uch a udden change in pitch rate that are caued by actuator fault where ome form of model free, or model baed reidual generation mut be included. Model Free Detection Threhold detection i appropriate when the ignal are tatic or lowly varying and uch that a ingle excedence mean that a fault will be peritent for the remainder of the voyage. Such method are not uitable for dynamic ignal that could arie for intance from eaway wave action. The propenity of dynamic ignal to exceed a threhold but later to come within bound caue threholding alone to be a problem. We reort to model free method where ome contant feature of the ignal can be extracted and then that feature i compared againt the threhold. Such i the cae when a pectral analyi i performed on ignal and pectral level in pecified frequency band can be compared againt threhold. Thi methodology i ueful to detect the preence of frequency component in ervo error ignal caued by wave motion and could be ued to identify level of eaway induced diturbance conidered a fault. Model Baed Detection The overall problem of AUV fault detection i complex. Handling complexity by decompoition, the author recommend limiting the detection of fault to the primary ubytem in the vehicle, including, the peed control, teering, diving, roll control, navigation, powering, and computer ubytem. A far a motion capabilitie are concerned the peed, teering, diving, and (if preent) active roll control ubytem hould be monitored. Fault that impair the capability of thee ubytem need to be detected o that control reconfiguration may help to mitigate an unneceary miion abort. Some graceful degradation of miion could be continued if partial depth control or ped control could be maintained. Dynamic ignal uch a thoe developed by autopilot error become hard to detect, a error are naturally large when teering to new command, yet are mall if correct final heading i maintained. Wave motion caue wave period ocillatory motion in ervo error. Model baed method have been found to be ueful in detecting dynamic fault. A model-baed oberver i ued to generate a reidual between the enor meaured value and that predicted from the model. Fault can arie from a bad enor a well a a faulty actuator (fin / propeller).
5 The reidual provide a ignal that i not enitive to ervo error caued by command change, and repond primarily to non ideal load, diturbance from wave, and enor ignal error. Analyi of the reidual provide the key to ubytem failure. The diving ubytem of an AUV i analyzed for example. The diving ub-ytem dynamic for an AUV may be modeled by the ytem [3,4, 5 ]. x' ( t ) = [ w r( t ),q( t ), θ( t ),Z( t )];u( t ) = δ x& ( t ) = Ax( t ) + Bu( t ) + Ef ( t ) + Fd( t ); y( t ) = Cx( t ) + f ( t ) a ( t) with With a high quality inertial ytem, all tate variable are meaured with little noie and the output matrix, C, may conidered to be identity. f a( t ), f ( t ) are conidered to be added force caued by fin fault, and enor error repectively. In the above, w r, q, θ, and Z are the heave velocity of the vehicle relative to the water, the pitch rate, pitch angle, and the depth. B and E are the input vector for the control plane and added force and moment caued by imbalance of commanded and actual load on the vehicle, caued by actuator fault and F i the input vector aociated with diturbance from wave and upwelling current. It i important to note that ince the relative velocity definition for vehicle tate i ued, E and F are ditinct and diturbance from wave and current can be ditinguihed from actuator fault. A model-baed oberver i ued given by xˆ ' ( t ) = [ ŵ r( t ),qˆ( t ), θˆ( x ˆ & ( t ) = ( A KC )ˆ( x t ) + ν( t ) = y( t ) Cxˆ( t ); t ),Ẑ( t )];u( t ) Bu( t ) + = δ Ky( t ); ( t) with The reidual, ν(t), are the difference between the meaured tate and the etimate from the oberver. It follow that, the tate obervation error, ε x i given by, ε& ( t ) = ( A KC ) ε x ν( t ) = Cε x ( t ) + f x ( t ) + Ef ( t ) + Fd( t ) + Kf ( t ) Unlike tate obervation, reidual generation require a different balance in the choice of filter gain, K. Too high a choice lead to the reidual being mall, dominated by enor fault and noie. A lower gain et i needed conitent with bandwith requirement. Of coure, tability mut be obtained. The reidual can be analyzed in the frequency domain by, ν( t ) = C( I A A = ( A KC ) c a ( t ); c ) Efa( ) + C( I Ac ) Fd( ) + C( I Ac ) Kf ( ); One oberver deign (low gain) hould therefore find a gain et that maximize the influence of actuator fault, minimize the influence of wave diturbance, and the enor fault, while a econd (high gain) oberver could be deigned to emphai enor fault. It i noted that ince the direction of E direction of F (E, F are orthogonal), eparation of wave effect and actuator fault i poible. In fact, deigning a weight matrix, W, for the reidual detecting actuator fault, the ratio, WC( I A c ) E / WC( I A c ) F ;
6 hould be maximized over the frequency range appropriate. A method for the maximal decoupling of diturbance from fault uing eigenvector aignment i dicued in [6]. SIMULATION RESULTS Uing a model of the US Navy DSRV vehicle [6], running at a forward peed of 6 ft/ec., x ' = [ wr,q, θ, Z]. For a low forward peed of 6 feet per econd, the dynamic and input matrice are, 1959 = 483 A ; B = In thi example, the vehicle i in forward way with a command to dive. The autopilot for depth control may be deigned a number of different way, but here, a liding mode deign i ued which yield the control law, delta=-k*x-4*ign(inv(('*b)))*tanh((ig/phi)); if ab(delta)>.4; delta=4*ign(delta); end; The placed pole are elected to include a ingle pole at the origin (required by the method) giving, λ=[ -4, -41, -42, ] k=[ ] =[ ] The oberver gain are found uing the Matlab place algorithm to get put the oberver pole at real value cloe to the control pole, at [-5, -56,-53,-44]. The olution for K yield, K =, and the fault input matrix i in the ame direction a the input matrix, B, E=B, while the diturbance from wave velocitie appear a an additive input to the lat of the tate equation, o that F=[;;;1]. A quick check how that perfect diturbance decoupling ha been achieved. At a time given by t=1 econd, an added fault at the tern plane i inerted, on the top of a inuoidal wave diturbance which perit from the tart, t= The weighting matrix, W = I produce the following reidual repone a hown in Figure 1.
