Sensor real-time monitoring is an indispensable to achieve reliable plant operation along with stricter safety and environmental measures. This paper presents a statistical algorithm for sensors time-varying incipient fault detection and isolation. The proposed approach formulates the fault detection index and fault signature using the extended Kalman filter. Algorithm relaxes assumption on a monitored system stability and a priori knowledge of the fault profile. Further, fault decision statistics has been devised using Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KLD) and mixed with an Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) control chart. Pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant temperature and neutron flux sensors incipient fault detection and isolation have been demonstrated to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed methodology.
