Delay-dependent fault detection and diagnosis using B-spline neural networks and nonlinear filters for time-delay stochastic systems

A new fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) scheme is studied in this paper for the continuous-time stochastic dynamic systems with time delays, where the available information for the FDD is the input and the measured output probability density functions (PDFs) of the system. The square-root B-spline neural networks is used to formulate the output PDFs with the dynamic weightings. As a result, the concerned FDD problem can be transformed into a robust FDD problem subjected to a continuous time uncertain nonlinear system with time delays. Delay-dependent criteria to detect and diagnose the system fault are provided by using linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques. It is shown that this new criterion can provide higher sensitivity performance than the existing result. Simulations are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.     

Minimum rational entropy fault tolerant control for non-Gaussian singular stochastic distribution control systems using T-S fuzzy modelling

In this paper, a new fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant control (FTC) algorithm for a non-Gaussian nonlinear singular stochastic distribution control (SDC) system is studied. The rational square-root fuzzy logic model is used to approximate the output probability density function of non-Gaussian processes and a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to transform the non-Gaussian nonlinear SDC system into a fuzzy SDC system. An adaptive fuzzy fault diagnosis observer is constructed to achieve reconstruction of system state and fault. Based on the estimated fault information, the controller is reconfigured by minimising the performance index with regard to the rational entropy subjected to mean constraint. Minimum rational entropy fault tolerant control is introduced to make the output of the past-fault SDC system still have the minimum uncertainty. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the validity of the FD and minimum rational entropy FTC algorithm.

Robust fault diagnosis and fault‐tolerant control for non‐Gaussian uncertain stochastic distribution control systems

The purpose of fault diagnosis of stochastic distribution control systems is to use the measured input and the system output probability density function to obtain the fault estimation information. A fault diagnosis and sliding mode fault‐tolerant control algorithms are proposed for non‐Gaussian uncertain stochastic distribution control systems with probability density function approximation error. The unknown input caused by model uncertainty can be considered as an exogenous disturbance, and the augmented observation error dynamic system is constructed using the thought of unknown input observer. Stability analysis is performed for the observation error dynamic system, and the H_∞ performance is guaranteed. Based on the information of fault estimation and the desired output probability density function, the sliding mode fault‐tolerant controller is designed to make the post‐fault output probability density function still track the desired distribution. This method avoids the difficulties of design of fault diagnosis observer caused by the uncertain input, and fault diagnosis and fault‐tolerant control are integrated. Two different illustrated examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control for non-Gaussian time-delayed singular stochastic distribution systems

Stochastic distribution control (SDC) is a new branch of stochastic system control that the system output is the probability density function (PDF) of the output. In practice, some algebraic relations exist between the input and the weights of SDC systems, leading to a singular state space model between the weights and the control input which increases the complexity of the system. The ignorance of time delay in practical systems will make the effectiveness of the fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant control (FTC) be reduced. In this paper, the linear B-spline basis functions are used to approximate the output PDF. A FD approach based on the adaptive observer is established to diagnose the size of fault in the singular time-delayed SDC system. With the fault diagnosis information, a fault tolerant controller based on PI tracking control scheme is constructed to make the post-fault PDF still track the given distribution. The post-fault closed-loop stability analysis with the practical fault tolerant controller is carried out based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Robust control of the output probability density functions formultivariable stochastic systems with guaranteed stability

Presents two robust solutions to the control of the output probability density function for general multi-input and multi-output stochastic systems. The control inputs of the system appear as a set of variables in the probability density functions of the system output, and the signal available to the controller is the measured probability density function of the system output. A type of dynamic probability density model is formulated by using a B-spline neural network with all its weights dynamically related to the control input. It has been shown that the so-formed robust control algorithms can control the shape of the output probability density function and can guaranteed the closed-loop stability when the system is subjected to a bounded unknown input. An illustrative example is included to demonstrate the use of the developed control algorithms, and desired results have been obtained

Automated fault diagnosis in nonlinear multivariable systems usinga learning methodology

The paper presents a robust fault diagnosis scheme for detecting and approximating state and output faults occurring in a class of nonlinear multiinput-multioutput dynamical systems. Changes in the system dynamics due to a fault are modeled as nonlinear functions of the control input and measured output variables. Both state and output faults can be modeled as slowly developing (incipient) or abrupt, with each component of the state/output fault vector being represented by a separate time profile. The robust fault diagnosis scheme utilizes on-line approximators and adaptive nonlinear filtering techniques to obtain estimates of the fault functions. Robustness with respect to modeling uncertainties, fault sensitivity and stability properties of the learning scheme are rigorously derived and the theoretical results are illustrated by a simulation example of a fourth-order satellite model.

Detecting and diagnosing faults in dynamic stochastic distributions using a rational B-splines approximation to output PDFs

This paper presents a novel approach to detect and diagnose faults in the dynamic part of a class of stochastic systems . the Such a group of systems are subjected to a set of crisp inputs but the outputs considered are the measurable probability density functions (PDFs) of the system output, rather than the system output alone. A new approximation model is developed for the output probability density functions so that the dynamic part of the system is decoupled from the output probability density functions. A nonlinear adaptive observer is constructed to detect and diagnose the fault in the dynamic part of the system. Conver-gency analysis is performed for the error dynamics raised from the fault detection and diagnosis phase and an applicability study on the detection and diagnosis of the unexpected changes in the 2D grammage distributions in a paper forming process is included.     

Robust identification and fault diagnosis based on uncertain multiple input–multiple output linear parameter varying parity equations and zonotopes

We present a robust fault diagnosis method for uncertain multiple input–multiple output (MIMO) linear parameter varying (LPV) parity equations. The fault detection methodology is based on checking whether measurements are inside the prediction bounds provided by the uncertain MIMO LPV parity equations. The proposed approach takes into account existing couplings between the different measured outputs. Modelling and prediction uncertainty bounds are computed using zonotopes. Also proposed is an identification algorithm that estimates model parameters and their uncertainty such that all measured data free of faults will be inside the predicted bounds. The fault isolation and estimation algorithm is based on the use of residual fault sensitivity. Finally, two case studies (one based on a water distribution network and the other on a four-tank system) illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Actuator fault diagnosis for a class of nonlinear systems and its application to a laboratory 3D crane

In this paper, an actuator fault diagnosis scheme is proposed for a class of affine nonlinear systems with both known and unknown inputs. The scheme is based on a novel input/output relation derived from the considered nonlinear systems and the use of the recently developed high-order sliding-mode robust differentiators. The main advantages of the proposed approach are that it does not require a design of nonlinear observer and applies to systems not necessarily detectable. Conditions are provided to characterize the feasibility of fault detection and isolation using the proposed scheme and the maximum number of isolatable actuator faults. The efficacy of the proposed actuator fault diagnosis approach is tested through experiments on a laboratory 3D Crane, and the experimental results show that the proposed actuator fault diagnosis approach is promising and can achieve fault detection and isolation satisfactorily.     

Errors-in-variables identification of dynamic systems excited by arbitrary non-white input

This work deals with the identification of dynamic systems from noisy input–output observations, where the noise-free input is not parameterized. The basic assumptions made are (1) the dynamic system can be modeled by a (discrete- or continuous-time) rational transfer function model, (2) the temporal input–output disturbances are mutually independent, identically distributed noises, and (3) the input power spectrum is non-white (not necessarily rational) and is modeled nonparametrically. The system identifiability is guaranteed by exploiting the non-white spectrum property of the noise-free input. A frequency domain identification strategy is developed to estimate consistently the plant model parameters and the input–output noise variances. The uncertainty bound of the estimates is calculated and compared to the Cramér–Rao lower bound. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is illustrated on numerical examples.     

Robust adaptive fault‐tolerant quantized control of nonlinear systems with constraints on system behaviors and states

In this work, we develop a robust adaptive fault‐tolerant tracking control scheme for a class of input‐quantized strict‐feedback nonlinear systems in the presence of error/state constraints and actuation faults. The problem is rather complicated yet challenging if nonparametric uncertainties and unknown quantization parameters as well as time‐varying yet completely undetectable actuation faults are involved in the considered systems. Compared with the most existing approaches in the literature, the proposed control exhibits several attractive advantages: (1) upon using a nonlinear decomposition for quantized input and employing the robust technique for actuation fault, not only the exact knowledge of quantization parameters are not required, but also the actuation fault can be easily compensated since neither fault detection and diagnosis/fault detection and identification nor controller reconfiguration is needed; (2) based on the error/state‐dependent unified nonlinear function, the constraints on tracking error and system states are directly handled and the cases with or without constraints can also be addressed in a unified manner without changing the control structure; and (3) the utilization of unified nonlinear function‐based dynamic surface control not only avoids the problem of the explosion of complexity in traditional backstepping design, but also bypasses the demanding feasibility conditions of virtual controllers. Furthermore, by using the Lyapunov analysis, it is ensured that all signals in the closed‐loop systems are uniformly ultimately bounded. The effectiveness of the developed control algorithm is confirmed by numerical simulations.     

Dynamic surface active fault tolerant control design for the attitude control systems of UAV with actuator fault

In this paper, an active fault tolerant control (FTC) approach based on transient performance index is proposed for the attitude control systems of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with actuator fault. The nonlinear attitude control system model for UAV with actuator faults is given, which represents the dynamic characteristics of UAV. A fault diagnosis component is used for fault detection and estimation. According to the fault estimation information obtained during the fault diagnosis, the fault tolerant control scheme is developed by adopting the adaptive dynamic surface control technique, which guarantees the asymptotic output tracking and ultimate uniform boundedness of the closed-loop attitude control systems of UAV in actuator faulty case. Further, a prescribed transient performance of the FTC attitude control systems is considered which characterizes the convergence rate and maximum overshoot of the attitude tracking error. Finally, simulation results are shown that the attitude control system states remain bounded and the output tracking errors converge to a neighborhood of zero.     

Optimal Control for a Class of Complex Singular System Based on Adaptive Dynamic Programming

This paper presents a new design approach to achieve decentralized optimal control of high-dimension complex singular systems with dynamic uncertainties. Based on robust adaptive dynamic programming (robust ADP) method, controllers for solving the singular systems optimal control problem are designed. The proposed algorithm can work well when the system model is not exactly known but the input and output data can be measured. The policy iteration of each controller only uses their own states and input information for learning, and do not need to know the whole system dynamics. Simulation results on the New England 10-machine 39-bus test system show the effectiveness of the designed controller.
