Fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control for actuators of underwater vehicles

In dealing with the fault problems occurred on the actuators of underwater vehicles, we propose the fault diagnosis and the fault tolerant control algorithms with low dependence and high universality. The fault diagnosis algorithm comprises the stages of detection, isolation and identification. Three types of actuator faults, namely, the proportional, the deviated and the constant faults are defined, for which the corresponding observers are designed such that the fault estimates can be detected by satisfying the exponential convergence requirement. To isolate the actual fault among the three estimates, fault functions are generated based on the exponentially converged fault estimates and the corresponding derivatives, of which the deduced data with the lowest variance are used for isolation. The actual fault actuator is successfully identified by combining the control input equation with the isolated fault estimate. Based on the fault diagnosis result and the feedback control design, the fault tolerant control (FTC) which satisfies the stabilization requirement is realized by modifying the desired control input directly. Through an underwater vehicle docking simulation, the feasibility and effectiveness of the addressed algorithms are validated.
