Title:  Intelligent Fault Monitoring of Critical  Infrastructure Systems

Abstract:  Modern societies have  reached a point where everyday life relies heavily on the reliable operation and  intelligent management of critical infrastructures, such as electric power  systems, telecommunication networks, water systems, and transportation systems.  The design, control and fault monitoring of such systems is becoming  increasingly more challenging as their size, complexity and interactions are  steadily growing. The current trend is towards the use of a larger number of  sensors, leading to so called big data environments. However, in situations  where faults arise in one or more of the sensing devices, this may lead to a  serious degradation in performance or even to an overall system failure,  especially as a result of propagating faults in interconnected subsystems. The  goal of this presentation is to motivate the need for intelligent monitoring,  fault diagnosis and security of critical infrastructure systems and to provide a  methodology for detecting and isolating multiple sensor faults in a class of  nonlinear dynamical systems. The detection of faults in sensor groups is  conducted using robust analytical redundancy relations, formulated by structured  residuals and adaptive thresholds. Various estimation and learning algorithms  will be presented and illustrated, and directions for future research will be  discussed.
