A sensor fault detection and isolation strategy by using a Dendritic Cell Algorithm

In this paper, an online sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme is proposed based on an emerging Artificial Immune System (AIS) algorithm, namely Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA). Our proposed methodology is utilized in a distributed manner in order to perform sensor FDI in complex systems. The proposed methodology is then applied to a wind turbine benchmark model in order to demonstrate its capabilities.
