FAULT DIAGNOSIS UNDER MULTIPLE SEQUENTIAL FAULTS OF THE RAIN-GAUGE NETWORK USED TO CONTROL THE BARCELONA SEWER SYSTEM [PDF]
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2005 Abstract This paper discusses the problem of fault diagnosis under multiple sequential faults occurrence. In industrial applications this type of fault is the most common since the continuous operation of systems/processes is required. The fault diagnosis algorithms should cope with such type of multiple faults, but degradation in their fault ...
