Abstract
This study proposes a novel paradigm for enhancing the fault detection and isolation (FDI) of gas generators in all-electric auxiliary power unit (APU) by utilizing shaft power information from the starter/generator. First, we conduct an investigation into the challenges and opportunities for FDI that are brought about by APU electrification. Our analysis reveals that the electrification of APUs opens new possibilities for utilizing shaft power estimates from starters/generators to improve gas generator FDI. We then provide comprehensive theoretical and analytical evidence demonstrating why, how, and to what extent the shaft power information from the starter/generator can fundamentally enhance the estimation accuracy of system states and health parameters of the gas generator, while also identifying key factors influencing these improvements in FDI performance. The effectiveness of the proposed paradigm and its theoretical foundations are validated through extensive Monte Carlo simulation runs. The research findings provide a unique perspective in addressing three fundamental questions—why joint fault diagnosis of the starter/generator and gas generator in all-electric APUs is essential, how it can be implemented, and what factors determine its effectiveness—thereby opening up promising new avenues for FDI technologies in all-electric APU systems.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
