Adaptive fault-tolerant control of linear time-invariant systems in the presence of actuator saturation

This paper studies the problem of designing adaptive fault-tolerant controllers for linear tirne-invariant systems with actuator saturation. New methods for designing indirect adaptive fault-tolerant controllers via state feedback are presented for actuator fault compensations. Based on the on-line estimation of eventual faults, the adaptive fault-tolerant controller parameters are updating automatically to compensate the fault effects on systems. The designs are developed in the framework of linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach, which can enlarge the domain of attraction of closed-loop systems in the cases of actuator saturation and actuator failures. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the design method.     

Robust H ∞ and adaptive tracking control against actuator faults with a linearised aircraft application

This article studies the problem of designing adaptive fault-tolerant H _∞ tracking controllers for a class of aircraft flight systems against general actuator faults and bounded perturbations. A robust adaptive state-feedback controller is constructed by a stabilising controller gain and an adaptive control gain function. Using mode-dependent Lyapunov functions, linear matrix inequality-based conditions are developed to find the controller gain such that disturbance attenuation performance is optimised. Adaptive control schemes are proposed to estimate the unknown controller parameters on-line for unparametrisable stuck faults and perturbation compensations. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that the resulting closed-loop systems can guarantee asymptotic tracking with H _∞ performances in the presence of faults on actuators and perturbations. An application to a decoupled linearised dynamic aircraft system and its simulation results are given.     

Distributed adaptive fault-tolerant control against actuator faults and lossy interconnection links

This paper presents an adaptive method to solve the robust fault-tolerant control （FTC） problem for a class of large scale systems against actuator failures and lossy interconnection links. In terms of the special distributed architectures, the adaptation laws are proposed to estimate the unknown eventual faults of actuators and interconnections, constant external disturbances, and controller parameters on-line. Then a class of distributed state feedback controllers are constructed for automatically compensating the fault and disturbance effects on systems based on the information from adaptive schemes. On the basis of Lyapunov stability theory, it shows that the resulting adaptive closed-loop large-scale system can be guaranteed to be asymptotically stable in the presence of uncertain faults of actuators and interconnections, and constant disturbances. The proposed design technique is finally evaluated in the light of a simulation example.

Reliable H∞ control of discrete-time systems against random intermittent faults

A passive fault-tolerant control strategy is proposed for systems subject to a novel kind of intermittent fault, which is described by a Bernoulli distributed random variable. Three cases of fault location are considered, namely, sensor fault, actuator fault, and both sensor and actuator faults.

The robust H_∞ performance index is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. In terms of linear matrix inequality, the sufficient conditions of the existence of controllers are given. An illustrative example indicates the effectiveness of the proposed fault-tolerant control method.

Fault-tolerant control systems design via subdivision of parameter region

This paper presents a linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach to solve the fault-tolerant control （FTC） problem of actuator faults. The range of actuator faults is considered as a parameter region and subdivided into several subregions to achieve a certain desired performance specification. Based on the integral quadratic constraint （IQC） approach, a passive fault-tolerant controller for the whole fault region and multiple fault-tolerant controllers for each fault subregion are designed for guaranteeing stability and improving performance of the FTC system, respectively. According to the estimation of parameters by FDI process, the corresponding subregion controller is chosen for the stability and optimal performance of closed-loop systems when the fault occurs. The case of incorrect estimation is also considered by comparing the performance index between the switched controller and the passive fault-tolerant controller. The proposed design technique is finally evaluated in the light of a simulation example.     

Robust satisfactory fault-tolerant control of uncertain linear discrete-time systems: an LMI approach

Fault-tolerant control is an important issue in practical systems. Based on satisfactory control and estimation theory, a passive fault-tolerant control strategy is proposed for a class of uncertain linear discrete-time systems in this article. Manipulating linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, robust fault-tolerant state-feedback controllers are designed which take the possible actuator faults and sensor faults into consideration, respectively. The closed-loop systems are guaranteed by the designed controllers to meet the required constraints on regional pole index φ(q, r), steady-state variance matrix X index and control-cost function V ²(u) index simultaneously. Then, whether possible faults occur or not, the closed-loop systems would maintain the three desirable performance indices accordingly. Meanwhile, the consistency of the performance indices mentioned earlier is also discussed for fault-tolerant control.

Gain-scheduled control of time-varying delay systems with input constraint

This paper investigates gain-scheduled control design for linear systems with time-varying state delays subject to actuator saturation and external disturbance. Assuming the disturbance is peak bounded, a sufficient delay-dependent condition is established to guarantee that a family of level sets, corresponding to a novel parameter-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, are nested and invariant to the closed-loop system. The invariant sets are then used to obtain nested reachable sets (ellipsoids) to bound the closed-loop states. A family of continuous controllers are designed based on these nested ellipsoids. The controller with the best performance is selected, each time, based on the closed-loop state vector, while complying with the saturation bound, and the resulting closed-loop system is locally input-to-state stable. All conditions are represented in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) by the linear spline method. Finally, the benefit of the control method is illustrated by two examples.

Detection,isolation and handling of actuator faults in distributed model predictive control systems

In this work, we focus on monitoring and reconfiguration of distributed model predictive control systems applied to general nonlinear processes in the presence of control actuator faults. Specifically, we consider nonlinear process systems controlled with a distributed control scheme in which two Lyapunov-based model predictive controllers manipulate two different sets of control inputs and coordinate their actions to achieve the desired closed-loop stability and performance specifications. To deal with control actuator faults which may reduce the ability of the distributed control system to stabilize the process, a model-based fault detection and isolation and fault-tolerant control system which detects and isolates actuator faults and determines how to reconfigure the distributed control system to handle the actuator faults while maintaining closed-loop stability is designed. A detailed mathematical analysis is carried out to determine precise conditions for the stabilizability of the fault detection and isolation and fault-tolerant control system. A chemical process example, consisting of two continuous stirred tank reactors and a flash tank separator with a recycle stream and involving stabilization of an unstable steady-state, is used to demonstrate the approach.
