Qualitative Event-based Diagnosis with Possible Conflicts Applied to Spacecraft Power Distribution Systems

Published by Dashlink | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: August 04, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-03-31
Model-based diagnosis enables efficient and safe operation of engineered systems. In this paper, we describe two algorithms based on a qualitative event-based fault isolation framework augmented with model-based fault identification that are applied to spacecraft power distribution systems. Although based on a common framework, the fundamental difference between the two algorithms is that one uses a global model for residual generation, fault isolation, and fault identification; whereas the other uses a set of minimal submodels computed using Possible Conflicts. We describe the implementation of the two algorithms and compare their diagnosis results on a representative spacecraft power distribution system.
