This paper presents a methodology for improving the fault detection scheme of reaction wheels as actuators onboard satellites. An enhanced adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) is used, based on a generic adaptive Kalman filter combined with a particle swarm optimization for fault detection. Results show superior performance compared with a generic AUKF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
