具有传输时延的网络控制系统故障估计与调节

In this paper, a method of fault estimation and fault tolerant control for networked control system (NCS) with transfer delay and process noise is presented. First, the networked control system is modeled as a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) discrete-time system with transfer delays, process noise, and model uncertainties. Under this model and under some conditions, a fault estimation method is proposed to estimate the system faults. On the basis of the information on fault estimation and the sliding mode control theory, a fault tolerant controller is designed to recover the system performance. Finally, simulation results are used to verify the efficiency of the method.

An output delay approach to fault estimation for sampled-data systems

The problem of fault estimation for a class of non-uniformly sampled-data systems is investigated from the time delay point of view in this paper.Firstly,the output delay approach is employed to model the sampled-data system as a continuous-time one with time-varying delay output.Then,based on the analysis of the inapplicability of the adaptive fault diagnosis observer in such class of time-delay systems,a novel augmented fault estimation observer design method is proposed to guarantee the exponential convergence of the estimation errors.Furthermore,an extension to the case of time varying fault estimation for the noisy sampled-data systems is studied.Finally,simulation results of a flight control system are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Quantized H ∞ fault-tolerant control for networked control systems

Quantized H_∞ fault-tolerant control for networked control systems (NCSs) with partial actuator fault with respect to actuators is concerned in this paper. Considering transmission delay, packet dropout and quantization, a synthesis model with partial actuator fault is established. The piecewise constant controller is adopted to model NCS with the transmission delay and packet dropout. Due to data transmitted in practical NCSs should be quantized before they are sent to the next network node, the logarithmic static and time-invariant quantizers at the sensor and controller sides are proposed in the paper. For the established model, an appropriate type of Lyapunov functions is provided to investigate the delay-dependent H_∞ control problem. According to an optimal problem, the controller that makes the system achieve the best performance is designed. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Hybrid intelligent control of combustion process for ore-roasting furnace

Because of its synthetic and complex characteristics, the combustion process of the shaft ore-roasting furnace is very difficult to control stably. A hybrid intelligent control approach is developed which consists of two systems： one is a cascade fuzzy control system with a temperature soft-sensor, and the other is a ratio control system for air flow with a compensation model for heating gas flow and air-fuel ratio. This approach combined intelligent control, soft-sensing and fault diagnosis with conventional control. It can adjust both the heating gas flow and the air-fuel ratio in real time. By this way, the difficulty of online measurement of the furnace temperature is solved, the fault ratios during combustion process is decreased, the steady control of the furnace temperature is achieved, and the gas consumption is reduced. The successful application in shaft furnaces of a mineral processing plant in China indicates its effectiveness.     

Design of networked control systems with bounded arbitrary time delays

This paper is mainly concerned with the model predictive control (MPC) of networked control systems (NCSs) with uncertain time delay and data packets disorder. The network-induced time delay is described as bounded and arbitrary process. For the usual state feedback controller, by considering all the possibilities of delays, an augmented state space model of the closed-loop system, which characterizes all the delay cases, is obtained. The stability conditions are given according to the Lyapunov method based on this augmented model. The stability property is inherited in MPC which explicitly considers the physical constraints. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MPC.     

Fault tolerant control for networked control systems with packet loss and time delay

In this paper, a fault tolerant control with the consideration of actuator fault for a networked control system (NCS) with packet loss is addressed. The NCS with data packet loss can be described as a switched system model. Packet loss dependent Lyapunov function is used and a fault tolerant controller is proposed respectively for arbitrary packet loss process and Markovian packet loss process. Considering a controlled plant with external energy-bounded disturbance, a robust H _∞ fault tolerant controller is designed for the NCS. These results are also expanded to the NCS with packet loss and networked-induced delay. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Active fault tolerant control using state-space self-tuning control approach

This paper presents a new fault tolerant control scheme for unknown multivariable stochastic systems by modifying the conventional state-space self-tuning control approach. For the detection of faults, a quantitative criterion is developed by comparing the innovation process errors occurring in the Kalman filter estimation algorithm, which, for faulty system recovery, a weighting matrix resetting technique is developed by adjusting and resetting the covariance matrices of the parameter estimate obtained in the Kalman filter estimation algorithm to improve the parameter estimation of the faulty systems. The proposed method can effectively cope with partially abrupt and/or gradual system faults and/or input failures with fault detection. The modified state-space self-tuning control scheme can be applied to the multivariable stochastic faulty system without requiring prior knowledge of system parameters and noise properties.     

Adaptive fault‐tolerant control for a nonlinear flexible aircraft wing system

Fault‐tolerant control problems have been extensively studied in all kinds of control systems. However, there is little work on fault‐tolerant control for distributed parameter systems. In this paper, a novel adaptive fault‐tolerant boundary control scheme is proposed for a nonlinear flexible aircraft wing system against actuator faults. The whole system is regarded as a distributed parameter system, and the dynamic model of the flexible wing system is described by a set of partial differential equations (PDEs) and ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The proposed controller is designed by using the Lyapunov's direct method and adaptive control strategies. Based on the online estimation of actuator faults, the adaptive controller parameters can update automatically to compensate the actuator faults of the system. Besides, a fault‐tolerant controller is also developed for this system in the presence of external disturbances. Differing from existing works about adaptive fault‐tolerant control, the adaptive controller presented in this paper is designed for a distributed parameter system. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Fault‐Tolerant Control Based on Augmented State Estimator and PDF

A new fault‐tolerant control based on augmented state estimator and probability density function (PDF) is proposed for a stochastic distribution system (SDS) with time‐delay and additive fault. First, a system model based on a PDF with the additive fault is constructed by using square‐root rational B‐spline neural networks. Second, an augmented system is obtained by converting the additive fault as an auxiliary state variable. In this framework, a robust augmented state estimator is designed to estimate the original states and the additive fault simultaneously. Then, based on the obtained estimation of fault, a delay‐dependent fault‐tolerant control is designed to compensate the fault. Finally, the numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Observer‐based cooperative distributed fault‐tolerant model predictive control with imperfect network communication and asynchronous measurements

Intermittent actuator and sensor faults tolerant are simultaneously considered in a distributed control system with imperfect communication network. The asynchronous measurements of different output variables in one sampling period are synchronized through a novel two‐stage model‐based projection method. Different from centralized control network, in both layer‐to‐layer and in‐layer communication, the packet delay, loss and disordering are corrected by the predicted data from model predictive control. Moreover, a completely distributed state observer is established for both system states and sensor faults problem with bounded noise uncertainties. For the intermittent actuator faults, actuator plug‐and‐play design methods based on model predictive control has been introduced, making the actuator faults estimation omitted. The distributed stability conditions are derived for the proposed fault‐tolerant controller, and the online feasibility is explained in detail. Numerical simulation is given to verify the design procedure.
