Abstract

In this paper a neural detector of internal parameter changes in a stationary, non-linear SISO dynamic system is considered. A dynamic system is usually described by an input-output relation or by a set of state equations. Each change of parameter values creates a new non-nominal model of a dynamic system (sometimes with different values of parameters, sometimes with different structure and different values of parameters). Thus the detection of parameter changes can be formulated as a multi-model classification. The LVQ (Learning Vector Quantisation) neural network has been proposed as a classifier. Selected aggregated properties of discrete wavelet decomposition coefficients of the system output have been chosen as the inputs of the LVQ classifier. The output of the classifier points out the current model. The proposed approach to classification can be adopted as a fault detection method where faults are represented by changes of values of internal parameters of a system. The algorithm has been evaluated on the example of a non-linear fluid system with a non-ideal pipe which internal state is characterised by one value of a parameter, chosen from the known set.
