An LMI approach to design robust fault detection filter for uncertain LTI systems

In this paper, the robust fault detection filter design problem for uncertain linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with both unknown inputs and modelling errors is studied. The basic idea of our study is to use an optimal residual generator (assuming no modelling errors) as the reference residual model of the robust fault detection filter design for uncertain LTI systems with modelling errors and, based on it, to formulate the robust fault detection filter design as an H_∞ model-matching problem. By using some recent results of H_∞ optimization, a solution of the optimization problem is then presented via a linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. The main results include the development of an optimal reference residual model, the formulation of robust fault detection filter design problem, the derivation of a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust fault detection filter and a construction of it based on the LMI solution parameters, the determination of adaptive threshold for fault detection. An illustrative design example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Design and analysis of robust residual generators for systems under feedback control

In this paper, a general approach is presented to design robust fault detection and isolation (FDI) filters for LTI uncertain systems under feedback control. A two-step design procedure is proposed to derive non-conservative robust FDI filters. The first step consists of designing an optimal FDI filter that maximizes fault sensitivity performance and simultaneously minimizes the influence of unknown inputs, for a large class of model perturbations. The design problem is formulated so that all free parameters are optimized via Linear Matrix Inequality techniques. The second step consists of a systematic post-design analysis procedure. A test is proposed to check if all FDI objectives are achieved for all specified model perturbations. The problem is formulated using an appropriate performance index over a specified frequency range. The solution is based on the generalized structured singular value. Finally, experimental results from a pilot laboratory system are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust fault detection filter design for uncertain LTI systems based on new bounded real lemma

This paper concerns the problem of robust fault detection filter design for uncertain linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with both model uncertainty and disturbances. Firstly, the fault detection filter design is formulated to H _∞ model-matching problem. Secondly, based on a new bounded real lemma, a sufficient condition for the existence of the robust fault detection filter is constructed in term of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Owing on the introduction of the tuning parameter and slack variables in obtained LMI condition, the proposed design method can provide higher fault detection sensitivity performance than the existing one. Finally, an illustrative example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Recommended by Editorial Board member Bin Jiang under the direction of Editor Jae Weon Choi.

A robust fault detection and isolation filter design under sensitivity constraint: An LMI approach

This paper deals with the design of a residual generator (RG) for linear time‐invariant systems subject to simultaneous different faults, disturbances and measurement noises. The objective is to design an RG filter that maximizes the transmission from a potential fault to a related residual, while minimizing the ones from nuisances (disturbances, measurement noises and other faults). The isolation of each fault is carried out by designing a bank of RG filters, each one insensitive, as much as possible, to nuisances and capable of detecting the occurrence of its related fault. The design is carried out through ℋ︁_∞ filtering techniques under an eigenstructure assignment constraint. Under mild assumptions, the RG filter can be obtained by solving a λ‐parameterized linear matrix inequality optimization problem. A comparison with existing fault detection and isolation (FDI) methods is considered in order to exhibit the relative merits of the proposed method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An LMI approach to robust H-infinity control for uncertain singular time-delay systems

The problem of robust H-infinity control for a class of uncertain singular time-delay systems is studied in this paper. A new approach is proposed to describe the relationship between slow and fast subsystems of singular time- delay systems, based on which, a sufficient condition is presented for a singular time-delay system to be regular, impulse free and stable with an H-infinity performance. The robust H-infinity control problem is solved and an explicit expression of the desired state-feedback control law is also given. The obtained results are formulated in terms of strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) involving no decomposition of system matrices. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

LMI conditions for quadratic and robust D-stability of interval systems

Sufficient conditions for the quadratic D-stability and further robust D-stability of interval systems are presented in this paper. This robust D-stability condition is based on a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function obtained from the feasibility of a set of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） defined at a series of partial-vertex-based interval matrices other than the total vertex matrices as in previous results. The results contain the usual quadratic and robust stability of continuous-time and discrete-time interval systems as particular cases. The illustrative example shows that this method is effective and less conservative for checking the quadratic and robust D-stability of interval systems.

A robust deconvolution scheme for fault detection and isolation of uncertain linear systems: an LMI approach

Optimal H_∞ deconvolution filter theory is exploited for the design of robust fault detection and isolation (FDI) units for uncertain polytopic linear systems. Such a filter is synthesized under frequency domain conditions which ensure guaranteed levels of disturbance attenuation, residual decoupling and deconvolution performance in prescribed frequency ranges. By means of the Projection Lemma, a quasi-convex formulation of the problem is obtained via LMIs. A FDI logic based on adaptive thresholds is also proposed for reducing the generation of false alarms. The effectiveness of the design technique is illustrated via a numerical example.

A design procedure dealing with parameter uncertainties is proposed for residual generation, the sensitivity to fault and the robustness against disturbances are both enhanced on residual outputs through satisfying some performance indexes. By the aid of the generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (GKYP) lemma, the fault sensitivity performance index can be dealt with in the given frequency range directly, which avoids approximations associated with frequency weights of the existing techniques. An iterative algorithm based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) is given to obtain the solutions. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
