Popis: This paper is devoted to the problem of model-based prognostics for a Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). Our aim is to predict degradation of certain parameters in the process, in order to anticipate malfunctions and to schedule maintenance. It turns out that a WWTP, together with the possible malfunction, has a specific structure: mostly, the malfunction appears in the model as an unknown input function. The process is observable whatever this unknown input is, and the unknown input can itself be identified through the observations. Due to this property, our method does not require any assumption of the type “slow dynamics degradation”, as is usually assumed in ordinary prognostic methods. Our system being unknown-input observable, standard observer-based methods are enough to solve prognostic problems. Simulation results are shown for a typical WWTP.
