24 Fault Tree Analysis Probability of hardware component failure can be estimated from field data. Model-based fault detection introduces new failure models (false alarms, missed detections, etc.) 24

28 System Failure Rate Notation: Sensor failure per hour False alarm per hour Detection per failure Approximate system failure probability: 28

29 System Failure Rate Notation: Sensor failure per hour False alarm per hour Detection per failure Approximate system failure probability: Primary sensor fails + missed detection Failure detected + Backup sensor fails False alarm + Backup sensor fails 29

30 System Failure Rate Notation: Sensor failure per hour False alarm per hour Detection per failure Question: How can we compute these probabilities? Approximate system failure probability: Primary sensor fails + missed detection Failure detected + Backup sensor fails False alarm + Backup sensor fails 30

31 False Alarm Analysis What is the conditional probability of an alarm given that no fault has occurred? Abstraction: Discretetime uncertain linear system driven by noise. 31

32 Problem Formulation (Healthy) Dynamics for residual Simple Thresholding Objective: Assume n k is a stationary Gaussian process and assume known dynamic model for residuals. Compute the probability P N that r k > T for some k in {1,,N}. 32

33 Problem Formulation (Healthy) Dynamics for residual Simple Thresholding References 1. Glaz and Johnson. Probability inequalities for multivariate distributions with dependence structures. JASA, Hu and Seiler, Probability Bounds for False Alarm Analysis of Fault Detection Systems, Allerton, Theorem: There exist bounds γ k (k=1,,n) such that 1. γ k P N 2. γ k are monotonically non-increasing in k 3. γ k requires evaluation of k-dim. Gaussian integrals 33

34 Results: Effects of Correlation Neglecting correlations is accurate for small a False Alarm Probabilities and Bounds for N=360,000 but not for a near 1. For each (a,t), P 1 = which gives NP 1 =3.6 x 10-6 Residual Generation r = ar + n + k +1 k k f k d k Decision Logic 0 if rk T = 1 else 34

35 Worst-case False Alarm Probability Reference Hu and Seiler, Worst-Case False Alarm Analysis of Aerospace Fault Detection Systems, Submitted to ACC, Issue: Model depends on unknown (uncertain) parameters, ϵ. Objective: Compute the worst-case false alarm probability Main Result: Robust H 2 analysis results can be used to compute worstcase residual variance. This yields bounds on P N *. 35

36 Conclusions Commercial aircraft achieve high levels of reliability. Analytical redundancy is rarely used (Certification Issues) Model-based fault detection methods are an alternative that enables size, weight, power, and cost to be reduced.

39 Dual-Redundant Architecture s(k) Primary Sensor m ( k 1 ) Fault Detection Logic (FDI) d (k) mˆ ( k) Back-up Sensor m ( k 2 ) Switch Objective:Efficiently compute the probability P S,N that the system generates bad data for N 0 consecutive steps in an N-step window. 39

40 Assumptions 1. Knowledge of probabilistic performance a. Sensor failures: P[ T i =k ] where T i := failure time of sensor i b. FDI False Alarm: P[ T S N T 1 =N+1 ] c. FDI Missed Detection: P[ T S k+n 0 T 1 =k ] 2. Neglect intermittent failures 3. Neglect intermittent switching logic 4. Sensor failures and FDI logic decision are independent Sensors have no common failure modes. 40

42 System Failure Probability Apply basic probability theory: 42

43 System Failure Probability Apply basic probability theory: Knowledge of probabilistic performance a. Sensor failures: P[ T i =k ] where T i := failure time of sensor i 43

44 System Failure Probability Apply basic probability theory: Knowledge of probabilistic performance a. Sensor failures: P[ T i =k ] where T i := failure time of sensor i b. FDI False Alarm: P[ T S N T 1 =N+1 ] 44

45 System Failure Probability Apply basic probability theory: Knowledge of probabilistic performance a. Sensor failures: P[ T i =k ] where T i := failure time of sensor i b. FDI False Alarm: P[ T S N T 1 =N+1 ] c. FDI Missed Detection: P[ T S k+n 0 T 1 =k ] 45

46 Example Sensor Failures: Geometric distribution with parameter q Residual-based threshold logic m 1( k ) y(k) Fault Detection Filter r(k) Threshold, T d(k) Residual r ( k + 1) = n( k) + f ( k) Decision Logic 0 if d( k) = 1 f is an additive fault n is IID Gaussian noise, variance=σ r( k) T else 46

47 Example Per-frame false alarm probability can be easily computed For each k, r(k) is N(0,σ 2 ) : T [ d(k) = 1 No Fault] = 1 P = Pr p( r) dr F P F = 1 erf ( ) T 2σ 2 T Approximate per-hour false alarm probability x 10-3 P FA (30) = for σ = 0.25 P [ TS N T1 = N + 1] = 1 (1 P ) F N NP F P FA (N) 1 Per-frame detection probability P D can be similarly computed Time Window, N 47

48 System Failure Rate Notation: Sensor failure per hour False alarm per hour Approximate system failure probability: Detection per failure 48

49 System Failure Rate Notation: Sensor failure per hour False alarm per hour Approximate system failure probability: Detection per failure Primary sensor fails + missed detection Failure detected + Backup sensor fails False alarm + Backup sensor fails 49

50 System Failure Rate 10-3 P S,N 10-4 f/σ=1 f/σ=6 f/σ= T/σ Sensor mean time between failure = 1000hr and N= ( = 1 hour at 100Hz rate) 50

51 Correlated Residuals Example analysis assumed IID fault detection logic. Many fault-detection algorithms use dynamical models and filters that introduce correlations in the residuals. Question:How can we compute the FDI performance metrics when the residuals are correlated in time? FDI False Alarm: P[ T S N T 1 =N+1 ] FDI Missed Detection: P[ T S k+n 0 T 1 =k ] 51

52 False Alarm Analysis with Correlated Residuals Problem:Analyze the per-hour false alarm probability for a simple first-order fault detection system: Residual Generation (0<a<1) r = ar + n + k +1 k k f k f is an additive fault n is IID Gaussian noise, variance=1 Residuals are correlated in time due to filtering d Decision Logic k 0 if rk T = 1 else The N-step false alarm probabilityp N is the conditional probability that d k =1 for some 1 k N given the absence of a fault. P N = 1 T T L pr ( r1,..., rn ) dr1 T T Ldr There are N= samples per hour for a 100Hz system N 52

53 False Alarm Analysis Residuals satisfy the Markov property: P N can be expressed as an N-step iteration of 1- dimensional integrals: 53 = = = = T T N T T T T N N N N N N N N N dr r p r f P dr r r p r f r f dr r r p r f r f r f ) ( ) ( 1 ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( 1 ) ( M k k k k f n ar r + + = +1 ( ) ( ) k k k k r r p r r r p 1 1 1,, + + = L ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ,, r p r r p r r p r r p k k k R = L L = T T N T T N R N dr dr r r p P L L 1 1 ),..., ( 1 This has the appearance of a power iteration A N x

54 False Alarm Probability Theorem:Let λ 1 be the maximum eigenvalue and ψ 1 the corresponding eigenfunctionof λψ = T 1 1( ) ψ 1 T x ( y) p( y x) dy Then P N cλ N 1 1 where c = 1, ψ 1 Proof This is a generalization of the matrix power iteration The convergence proof relies on the Krein-Rutmantheorem which is a generalization of the Perron-Frobenius theorem.
