Fault-Tolerant MPC Control of PEM Fuel Cells

چکیده
In this paper, fault-tolerant MPC control of PEM fuel cells is addressed. MPC is a suitable control methodology to control fuel cell systems because of their multivariable and complex behaviour. Additionally, MPC is one of the control methodologies that can introduce more easily fault-tolerance. However, the problem of including actuator fault-tolerance in the control loops of these systems has not already been addressed in the literature. This work is focused on the air feeding control. A new control structure that not only uses the compressor voltage as a control variable but also the air valve opening area at the cathode output is considered to improve the fault-tolerance of the air feeding subsystem. It is shown that using this additional control permits to introduce fault-tolerance against compressor faults at the same time that allows to improve control performance. Finally, the proposed approach is assessed on a known test bench PEM fuel cell through simulation.

Fault Tolerant Control of a PEM Fuel Cell using qLPV Virtual Actuators
This paper proposes a fault tolerant control (FTC) strategy based on the use of quasi-linear parameter varying (qLPV) virtual actuators approach for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The overall solution relies on adding a virtual actuator in the control loop to hide the fault from the controller point of view, allowing it to see the same plant as before the fault, in this way keeping ...

A data-driven methodology that includes the unfalsified control concept in the framework of fault diagnosis and isolation (FDI) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) is presented. The selection of the appropriate controller from a bank of controllers in a switching supervisory control setting is performed by using an adequate FDI outcome.

This paper considers fault-tolerant control (FTC) for constrained linear systems subject to partial actuator failures. An active fault-tolerant control scheme based on model predictive control (MPC) and fault detection and isolation (FDI) is proposed. The FDI module using a two-stage Kalman filtering algorithm provides simultaneous control parameter and state estimation, which are used to modif...
متن کاملFault Tolerant Model Predictive Control of Quad-Rotor Helicopters with Actuator Fault Estimation
Model predictive control (MPC) at each time step minimizes a cost function subject to dynamical constraints to obtain a stabilizing control signal. Further, MPC is one of the few methodologies that can be used to design feedback control for nonlinear dynamical systems taking into consideration of actuator saturations. It can thus serve as a suitable fault tolerant control approach for quad-roto...

This work presents a fault-tolerant flight control system using model predictive control (MPC). The proposed technique, named feasible target-tracking MPC, filters the reference demand to guarantee feasibility of the constrained optimization. This architecture is also capable of redistributing, in a stable manner, the control efforts among healthy actuators, respecting their limitations. A traj...
