Set-based Fault-Tolerant Control of Convex Polytopic LPV Systems using a Bank of Virtual Actuators

چکیده
We propose a robust actuator fault tolerant control strategy for systems with linear parameter varying (LPV) uncertainty model description. The scheme employs a set-based robust fault detection and identification (FDI) approach and a bank of virtual actuators (VA). An interesting feature is that the virtual actuators are used both for FDI and controller reconfiguration (CR) tasks. The robust FDI method is based on the separation of relevant sets defined for measurable residual signals, which are computed based on the virtual actuator signals and taking into account model uncertainty, noises and process disturbances. For CR, each VA is designed to operate adequately in combination with a nominal controller (designed for the fault-free plant) to achieve correct reconfiguration for a particular fault situation in a considered range of fault scenarios. The resulting robust fault tolerant control scheme ensures boundedness of the closedloop system trajectories under a wide range of actuator fault scenarios. The performance of the scheme is illustrated through a simulation example.

A Virtual Actuator Approach for Fault Tolerant Control of Switching LPV Systems
In this paper, virtual actuators are proposed as a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) strategy for switching Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems subject to actuator faults. The overall solution relies on the addition of a virtual actuator block that keeps the stability and some desired performances without the need of retuning the nominal controller. It is shown that the design can be performed us...

This paper proposes a new fault-tolerant control (FTC) method for discrete-time linear parameter varying (LPV) systems using a reconfiguration block. The basic idea of the method is to achieve the FTC goal without redesigning the nominal controller by inserting a reconfiguration block between the plant and the nominal controller. The reconfiguration block is realized by an LPV virtual actuator ...

One of the major challenges in robotic arms is to diagnosis sensor fault. To address this challenge, this paper presents an LPV approach. Initially, the dynamics of a two-link manipulator is modelled with a polytopic linear parameter varying structure and then by using a descriptor system approach and a robust design of a suitable unknown input observer by means of pole placement method along w...

This paper presents a new Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology for a class of LPV descriptor systems that are represented under a polytopic LPV form. The aim of this FTC strategy is to compensate the effects of time-varying or constant actuator faults by designing an Adaptive Polytopic Observer (APO) which is able to estimate both the states of the system and the magnitude of the actuator f...
متن کاملFault-tolerant control strategy for actuator faults using LPV techniques: Application to a two degree of freedom helicopter
In this paper, a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) strategy for Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems that can be used in the case of actuator faults is proposed. The idea of this FTC method is to adapt the faulty plant instead of adapting the controller to the faulty plant. This approach can be seen as a kind of virtual actuator. An integrated FTC design procedure for the fault identification and ...
