Fault diagnosis is crucial in achieving safe and reliable operations of interconnected control systems. This dissertation presents a distributed fault detection and isolation (FDI) method for interconnected nonlinear uncertain systems. The contributions of this dissertation include the following: First, the detection and isolation problem of process faults in a class of interconnected input-output nonlinear uncertain systems is investigated. A novel fault detection and isolation scheme is devised, and the fault detectability and isolability conditions are rigorously investigated, characterizing the class of faults in each subsystem that are detectable and isolable by the proposed distributed FDI method. Second, a distributed sensor …
