1 1 Fault Diagnosis based on Particle Filter - with applications to marine crafts Bo Zhao CeSOS / Department of Marine Technology Norwegian University of Science and Technology

2 2 Faults Danger and harm Pollution Property loss Safety Environmental friendly Economy Purpose

3 3 DP incident analysis Incident in % Incident trends : Primary causes Average incidents in percentage on primary causes Electrical Operator Environment Generator Other Computer Reference Year Computer Reference Thruster Operator Electrical Generator Environment Other Thruster Data from: The Software Problem ++, Marine Cybernetics, 2004.

4 4 DP incident report: Vessel: Date: Wind: Sea State: Drifted: Two divers on the sea bed, were testing within a subsea structure. 22:10 Bibby Topaz 18/09/12 30 knots, m in 7min A series of alarms activated in the vessels in relation to the DP system. Vessel started drifting away. The Divers started to leave the structure and head back to the diving bell. Diver 2 noticed his umbilical had been snagged. 22:12 Communications and video was lost to Diver 2. The DP operator were trying to control the vessel by manual operation. 22:17 Regained control of the vessel having drifted off approx. 240m. The vessel was driven manually by the master back to the structure. 22:40 22:46 The vessel was back in a position close to the drilling template. Both Divers were on the bell stage. Diver 2 was recovered into the bell.

8 8 How do we diagnose a fault? Prediction Predicted Fault free behavior Predicted Faulty behavior

9 9 How do we diagnose a fault? Prediction Predicted Fault free behavior Observation Take the measurement Correction Obs. Predicted Faulty behavior H0 H1 Compare

10 10 Application to Diagnosis of DP position reference system

11 11 Application to Diagnosis of DP position reference system Challenge: Complex external disturbance Wave frequency motion Wind and current force Nonlinear system behavior Model uncertainty Multiple failure modes GPS Drifting Bias Outliers HPR Random excursion Outliers GPS drifting wave

12 12 Application to Diagnosis of DP position reference system Results: Alarm when faults happen HPR in function Diagnosis faults Acceptable positioning during failure Pros: Avoids catastrophic consequences by giving DPO time to handle faults Assists the DPO diagnosing faults GPS drifting wave Cons: Relatively poor position estimation comparing with other DP observer Time consuming
