Fault detection and isolation for water-pump system with signal-based approach using SCADA

Centrifugal pump is most common and frequently used in industry for many applications. Protection on the pump is very important and should be monitored continuously to have reliable operation. The aims of this work are to design and implement fault isolation (detection and FDI) for water-pump system using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). This work also presents a signal-based approach for fault detection and isolation of water-pump system. To achieve this, the signals were measured through a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and processed with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed using Visual Studio 2008. The experimental results have shown that the signal-based approach using SCADA can be used successfully on fault detection and isolation of water-pump system.
