Active Fault Tolerant Control

Fault-tolerant control is becoming an interesting topic because of its reliability and safety. This paper reports an active fault-tolerant control method for a quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to handle actuator faults, disturbances, and input constraints. A robust fault diagnosis based on the H ∞ scheme was designed to estimate the magnitude of a time-varying fault in the presence of disturbances with unknown upper bounds. Once the fault estimation was complete, a fault-tolerant control scheme was proposed for the attitude system, using adaptive sliding mode backstepping control to accommodate the actuator faults, despite actuator saturation limitation and disturbances. The Lyapunov theory was applied to prove the robustness and stability of the closed-loop system under faulty operation. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the fault diagnosis scheme and proposed controller for handling actuator faults.

For the chattering problem in the traditional sliding mode observer-based fault estimation, a second order sliding mode observer based on the Super-twisting algorithm was proposed. In order to avoid the cumbersome process of proving the stability of the Super-twisting algorithm, a Lyapunov function was adopted. An active fault tolerant control law was designed based on the fault estimation. Finally, simulation show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Fault-tolerant control has drawn attention in recent years owning to its reliability and safe flight during missions. In this article, an active fault-tolerant control method is proposed to control a quadcopter in the presence of actuator faults and disturbances. Firstly, the dynamics of the quadcopter are presented. Secondly, a robust adaptive sliding mode Thau observer is presented to estimate the time-varying magnitudes of actuator faults. Thirdly, a fault-tolerant control scheme based on sliding mode control and reconfiguration technique is designed to maintain the quadcopter at the desired position despite the presence of faults. Unlike previous studies, the proposed method aims to integrate the fault diagnosis and a fault-tolerant control scheme into a single unit with total loss of actuator. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the suggested algorithm.

Active Fault Tolerant Control

The present paper addresses the problem of robust active fault tolerant control (FTC) for uncertain linear parameter varying (LPV) systems with simultaneous actuator and sensor faults. First, fault estimation (FE) scheme is designed based on two adaptive sliding mode observers (SMO). Second, using the information of simultaneous system state, actuator, and sensor faults, two active FTC are conceived for LPV systems described with polytopic representation as state feedback control and sliding mode control. The stability of closed-loop systems is guaranteed by mean of H∞ performance; sufficient conditions of the proposed methods are derived in LMIs formulation. The performance effectiveness of FTC design is illustrated using a VTOL aircraft system with both sensor and actuator faults as well as disturbances. In addition, comparative simulations are provided to verify the benefits of the proposed methods.

Drive Systems

Due to the use of multiple observers and controllers in multi-sensor fault-tolerant control of PMSM drive systems, the algorithm is complex and the system control performance is affected. In view of this, the paper studies multi-sensor fault diagnosis and active fault-tolerant control strategies based on a composite sliding mode observer. With the mathematical model of PMSM built, a design method of the composite sliding mode observer is proposed. A single observer is used to observe and estimate various state variables in the system in real time, which simplifies the implementation of observer-related algorithms. In order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of different types of sensors under different faults, a method for determining fault thresholds is proposed through global search for the maximum residual value. Based on this, a fault diagnosis and active fault-tolerant control strategy is proposed to realize fast switching and reconstruction of feedback signals of closed-loop control systems under different faults of multiple sensors, thus restoring the system performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and control strategy is verified by simulation experiments
