Soft computing algorithm to data validation in aerospace systems using parity space approach
Résumé
This paper deals with the problem of data validation of an instrumentation system applied in the aerospace area. The fault diagnosis method used for the validation is based on the principle of the parity space approach. Residuals are generated thanks to the analytical redundancy relations given by the model and the important number of sensors. Indeed, we propose a procedure, which permits us to compute systematically all the redundancy equations for the residual generation phase. The additional concept, called residuals structuration, is necessary to isolate the detected faults. Finally, the data validation task consists in isolating the failing data and in sending only the valid information to a control system. An application to an aerospace system illustrates the proposed algorithm.
