In this paper we investigate the fault estimation problem against local unknown nonlinear dynamics, sensor and actuator faults for a class of Takagi–Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems. In addition, the exogenous disturbances and measurement noise are considered, which are presented in the operation of the systems and are various and independent of the systems. A novel double-level observer is designed to estimate the system states and faults. Compared with the current research results, the proposed observer has a wider range of application. By designing a fuzzy augmented system and a Kalman filter as the first-level observer, the estimations of system states, sensor faults and actuator faults can be obtained simultaneously. The second-level observer can estimate the unknown nonlinear dynamic function by establishing generalized fuzzy hyperbolic model. The robust stability of the estimation error systems is considered by H∞ performance. Finally, three simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fault estimation method.
