This paper proposes the design of an interval observer-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) algorithm using the set-invariance approach. Using this approach, both fault detectability and isolability properties of the proposed interval observer based FDI algorithm can be characterized in steady-state operation of the system. The effect of the uncertainty is taken into account using zonotopic-set representations. Finally, a simulation example based on a two-tanks system is employed to both illustrate and discuss the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
