Non-Linear Recursive Parameter Estimation Applied to Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Real Buildings

چکیده
This paper describes a fault detection and diagnosis scheme based on parameter estimation and presents results from its application to a cooling coil subsystem in a real building. A non-linear adaptation of the Prediction Error Forgetting (PEF), algorithm is employed to estimate the parameters of a simple, steady-state, first principles based cooling coil model. A steady-state detector is used to discard data with excessive transients. Three model parameters represent possible faults; control valve leakage, coil fouling and sensor offset. These parameters are estimated recursively, together with the uncertainty in the estimated values. A significant change in a particular parameter indicates abnormal operation and suggests a diagnosis. The paper describes the first-principle models and their fault parameters, the steady-state detector, and the recursive parameter estimation algorithm. Results from the application of the technique to data measured in a test building demonstrate that valve leakage and coil fouling can be detected and diagnosed. The applicability of the approach to fault detection and diagnosis in real systems is also discussed.

متن کاملApplication of Recursive Least Squares to Efficient Blunder Detection in Linear Models
In many geodetic applications a large number of observations are being measured to estimate the unknown parameters. The unbiasedness property of the estimated parameters is only ensured if there is no bias (e.g. systematic effect) or falsifying observations, which are also known as outliers. One of the most important steps towards obtaining a coherent analysis for the parameter estimation is th...
