The paper describes the design of a fault-tolerant control scheme for an uncertain model of a hypersonic reentry vehicle subject to actuator faults. In order to improve superior transient performances for state tracking, the proposed method relies on a back-stepping sliding mode controller combined with an adaptive disturbance observer and a reference vector generator. This structure allows for a faster response and reduces the overshoots compared to linear conventional disturbance observers based sliding mode controller. Robust stability and performance guarantees of the overall closed-loop system are obtained using Lyapunov theory. Finally, numerical simulations results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

This study focuses on the design of the robust fault-tolerant control (FTC) system based on adaptive observer for uncertain linear time invariant (LTI) systems. In order to improve robustness, rapidity, and accuracy of traditional fault estimation algorithm, an adaptive fault estimation algorithm (AFEA) using an augmented observer is presented. By utilizing a new fault estimator model, an improved AFEA based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique is proposed to increase the performance. Furthermore, an observer-based state feedback fault-tolerant control strategy is designed, which guarantees the stability and performance of the faulty system. Moreover, the adaptive observer and the fault-tolerant controller are designed separately, whose performance can be considered, respectively. Finally, simulation results of an aircraft application are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design methods.

Sub-module (SM) faults in modular multilevel converters (MMCs) without redundancies result in unbalanced converter output voltages and improper control of modulation due to an unequal number of SMs inserted between the different phase-legs. The derived mathematics model of the MMC demonstrates the impact of the SM fault in the circulating currents and capacitor voltages. For achieving the SM fault-tolerance, detailed analysis of the MMC’s electrical quantities under SM fault-tolerant algorithms is provided together with two modulation reconfiguration techniques for maintaining voltage balance. Fault-tolerant abilities of the two modulation algorithms are also discussed and defined. Simulation results from a 21-level converter and experimental work in a three-phase five-level converter demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the proposed fault-tolerant control strategies.

This paper describes the synthesis of a vector fault tolerant control of induction motor drives using an adaptive observer. This observer is used to detect the rotor resistance and flux components using the stator terminal voltages and currents. The rotor resistance is adapted using a new algorithm which does not imply a high computational load. Stability analysis based on Lyapunov theory is performed in order to guarantee the closed loop stability. The rotor resistance is used for the correction of the controllers and the rotor time constant. To verify the tolerance and the applicability of this control, we consider the stator inter-turn fault which is frequently encountered in practice. An analytical method for the modelling of this fault is presented. The equations which describe the transient as well as steady state behavior of unsymmetrical induction machine including the computation of machine inductances are presented. These inductances are calculated analytically using the magnetic field distribution through the machine air-gap. Simulation results are provided to evaluate the consistency and performance of the proposed fault tolerant control of induction motor based vector control.
