RESUMO
This paper presents a novel directional observer-based fault detection and isolation scheme for second-order networked control systems (NCS). The directional unknown input observer (UIO) tool is exploited to study the problem of distributed fault detection and isolation (FDI). Two design schemes with global and partial/local network models are proposed to solve the distributed FDI problem. Thresholds are computed for the application of the proposed schemes in a noisy environment. In addition, the salient features of the proposed schemes are that both fault detection and fault isolation are achieved in a single step using a single observer. The schemes are applied to power system models to validate their results. A detailed comparison with existing FDI schemes is also provided, which clearly shows the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of computational requirements.
