Nonlinear observer based fault detection and isolation for a momentum wheel

This article realizes nonlinear Fault Detection and Isolation for a momentum wheel. The Fault Detection and Isolation is based on a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, which states which faults might occur and can be detected. The algorithms presented in this paper are based on a geometric approach toachieve nonlinear Fault Detection and Isolation. The proposed algorithms are tested in a simulation study and the pros and cons of the algorithm are discussed.
