Course Objectives

1. Modeling of faults

2. Detection, isolation and identification of faults

3. Fault tolerant control systems design

Learning Outcomes

This course will enable the students to analyze the risks of fault and failures and applies the remedies to avoid the losses. They will be able to detect faults, identify the location of faults and its magnitude. They will also be able to apply fault tolerant techniques to control systems.

Computer Usage

Every week, there will be a lab seesion in computer center. Students will program the fault diagnosis algorithms and simulate the systems. There will be extensive use of MATLAB/Simulink throughout the course.

Assignments

There will be regular assignments during the session; most of them will be computer–based. Each of these assignments will be due in the following lecture. Late submission and copied assignments will not be accepted.

Examination

There will be one sessional exams and one terminal exam; the dates will be announced by the course-coordinator/examination cell. There will be 4–5 quizzes during the lecture hours; most of these quizzes will not be announced in advance. There will be semester mini projects (both theoretical and implementation). Students will be required to deliver presentations on their work.
