Fault Detection, Isolation and Modelling
2020/2021
Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module
The module builds on knowledge obtained in the module Stochastic Processes.Content, progress and pedagogy of the module
Every real life system will at some point or another experience faults. Students who complete this course will be able to, in a systematic manner, to analyze dynamic systems as well as distributed, network coupled systems. For each of the two system types the student will be able to:
- List the different considered faults, how they propagate through the system and assess their severity and occurrence likelihood.
- Develop methods for estimating if a given fault is present or not.
- Develop fault tolerant strategies for ensuring the continuation of the system in the presence of faults.
