Abstract:
The power system, as a core component of a launch vehicle, has a crucial impact on the reliability and safety of a rocket launch. Due to the limited measurement information inside the engine, it is often challenging to realize fast and accurate anomaly detection. For this reason, this paper introduces the rocket flight state data to expand the information source for anomaly detection. However, engine measurement and rocket flight state information have different data distribution characteristics. To find the optimal data fusion scheme for anomaly detection, a data set information fusion algorithm based on convex optimization is proposed, which solves the optimal fusion parameter using the convex quadratic programming problem and then adopts the adaptive CUSUM algorithm to realize the fast and accurate anomaly detection of engine faults. Numerical simulation tests show that the algorithm proposed in this paper has a higher detection accuracy and lower detection time than the traditional algorithm.
