Description:
The project’s goal is to analyze satellite sub-systems from the viewpoint of fault detection, isolation and reconfiguration (FDIR) using model-based and artificial intelligence methods. The strengths and shortcomings of each method are discussed, and, recommendations for the best-suited implementations are provided.
First, the selection trade-off is discussed by examining the principles of FDIR and MBSE (Model Based System Engineering). Following that, a comparison is made between the classical model-based approaches and modern neural network (NN) approaches. Potential satellite units where NN techniques may be applied for failure prognosis are discussed.
