This study addresses the fault estimation (FE) issue for neutral-type systems with sensor faults and actuator faults through the intermediate observer. First, it is well-known that the observer matching condition (OMC) ought to be met for most traditional FE methods, which is actually difficult to satisfy for many systems. In order to overcome this limitation, a suitable variable is designed and the intermediate observer is proposed to estimate the actuator and sensor faults for neutral-type systems simultaneously. Second, based on linear matrix inequalities, sufficient conditions are derived, which guarantee the existence of the intermediate observer. An augmented descriptor system is constructed for the neutral-type systems. By the Lyapunov stability theory, states of error systems are ultimately bounded. Finally, two examples demonstrate the effectiveness and practicability of the designed strategy.

The purpose of this paper is to show a novel fault-tolerant tracking control (FTC) strategy with robust fault estimation and compensating for simultaneous actuator sensor faults. Based on the framework of fault-tolerant control, developing an FTC design method for wind turbines is a challenge and, thus, they can tolerate simultaneous pitch actuator and pitch sensor faults having bounded first time derivatives. The paper’s key contribution is proposing a descriptor sliding mode method, in which for establishing a novel augmented descriptor system, with which we can estimate the state of system and reconstruct fault by designing descriptor sliding mode observer, the paper introduces an auxiliary descriptor state vector composed by a system state vector, actuator fault vector, and sensor fault vector. By the optimized method of LMI, the conditions for stability that estimated error dynamics are set up to promote the determination of the parameters designed. With this estimation, and designing a fault-tolerant controller, the system’s stability can be maintained. The effectiveness of the design strategy is verified by implementing the controller in the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s 5-MW nonlinear, high-fidelity wind turbine model (FAST) and simulating it in MATLAB/Simulink.

In this paper, the problems of finite-frequency fault estimation (FE) and fault tolerant controller design are investigated for a class of systems subjected to both sensor and actuator faults. To begin with, by introducing an expanded state vector, the original system is transformed into a descriptor system, and then an unknown input proportional-integral observer (PI) is developed to provide state and FE, which avoids the overdesign problems occurring in the entire frequency domain. After this, based on reconstructed information, an observer-based fault-tolerant controller is designed to stabilize the closed-loop system even if it suffers from faults and disturbances. In addition, the sufficient conditions of the existence of the PI and fault tolerant controller are derived by linear matrix inequality (LMI) tools. Finally, a simulation example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

This paper studies the problem of fault tolerant control by trajectory tracking for a class of linear constant time-delay systems. The aim is to design a control law by considering the fault detected by the observer to make the faulty system track the reference model even if faults occur. By considering two kinds of actuator faults, one constant and another time-varying, the corresponding proportional integral observers and active FTC control laws are designed, respectively. State tracking error, state estimation error, output estimation error, and fault estimation error are combined into a descriptor system. Based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach stability problems of the descriptor system are easily solved in terms of the Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI). Finally, a numerical example is considered to prove the effectiveness in both cases.

In this paper, the problem on simultaneous estimation of the actuator and sensor faults is first addressed for a class of Markovian jump systems with mixed mode-dependent time-varying delays. By using a generalized system technique, the original system is first transformed into a descriptor one; its states consist of original states and sensor fault. Then, a Markovian adaptive observer is designed for the descriptor system to provide simultaneous estimations of the state, actuator fault, and sensor fault. In the light of online acquired information, a state-feedback-based fault-tolerant controller is constructed to stabilize the closed-loop system in the presence of the actuator fault. Using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions, sufficient and necessity conditions for the existence of designed observer and controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which can be solved readily through efficient mathematical tools. Finally, numerical and practical examples are given to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract. Given a consistent interest in comparing achievement across sub-populations in international assessments such as TIMSS, PIRLS, and PISA, it is critical that sub-population achievement is estimated reliably and with sufficient precision. As such, we systematically examine the limitations to current estimation methods used by these programs. Using a simulation study along with empirical results from the 2007 cycle of TIMSS, we show that a combination of missing and misclassified data in the conditioning model induces biases in sub-population achievement estimates, the magnitude and degree to which can be readily explained by data quality. Importantly, estimated biases in sub-population achievement are limited to the conditioning variable with poor-quality data while other sub-population achievement estimates are unaffected. Findings are generally in line with theory on missing and error-prone covariates. The current research adds to a small body of literature that has noted some of the limitations to sub-population estimation.

Femtocell networks have been proposed for indoor communications as the extension of cellular networks for enhancing coverage performance. Because femtocells have small coverage radius, typically from 15 to 30 meters, a femtocell user (FU) walking at low speed can still make several femtocell-to-femtocell handovers during its connection. When performing a femtocell-to-femtocell handover, femtocell selection used to select the target handover femtocell has to be able not only to reduce unnecessary handovers and but also to support FU’s quality of service (QoS). In the paper, we propose a femtocell selection scheme for femtocell-tofemtocell handover, named Mobility Prediction and Capacity Estimation based scheme (MPCE-based scheme), which has the advantages of the mobility prediction and femtocell’s available capacity estimation methods. Performance results obtained by computer simulation show that the proposed MPCE-based scheme can reduce unnecessary femtocell-tofemtocell handovers, maintain low data delay and improve the throughput of femtocell users.
