Fault Detection and Isolation of the Multi-Sensor Inertial System

Abstract

In order to solve the problem that the generalized likelihood test method cannot isolate the single fault of the four-gyro system and the double faults of the six-gyro system, a fault detection and isolation method combining the generalized likelihood test method with the residual error of the metabolism grey model is presented. The problem of isolating the single fault of the four-gyro system and the double faults of the six-gyro system using the generalized likelihood test method is analyzed. The method and process of fault detection and isolation are designed. The validity of the method presented in this paper is verified by simulation tests of the single fault of the four-gyro system and the double faults of the six-gyro system. By comparing the isolation performance with the generalized likelihood test method, it is proved that the isolation performance of the method proposed in this paper is better than that of the generalized likelihood test method. The method mentioned in this paper can effectively realize fault detection and isolation of the multi-gyro system and improve the inertial system’s reliability.
