Design of Distributed Fault Tolerant Control Systems

Robust Takagi-Sugeno sensor fault tolerant control strategy for nonlinear system

Advanced design scheme for fault tolerant distributed networked control systems

This paper addresses the integrated design of fault tolerant distributed networked control systems (NCS). The NCS under consideration consists of two levels. At the lower level, sensors, actuators and local controllers are embedded and networked by sub-nets. They coordinated and supevised by the control stations located at the higher level. The core of the design scheme is the integrated design...

Design of an Active Approach for Detection, Estimation and Short-Circuit Stator Fault Tolerant Control in Induction Motors

Three phase induction motors have many applications in industries. Consequently, detecting and estimating the fault and compensate it in a way that the faulty induction motor satisfies the predefined goals are important issues. One of the most common faults in induction motors is the short circuit of the stator winding. In this paper, an active fault-tolerant control system is designed and pres...

Fault-Tolerant Control of a Nonlinear Process with Input Constraints

A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...

A Fault-tolerant distributed data flow architecture for real-time decentralized control

Complex control-oriented structures are inherently multiple input, multiple output systems whose complexities increase significantly with each additional parameter. When precision performance in both space and time is required, these types of applications can be described as real-time systems that demand substantial amounts of computational power in order to function properly. The failure of a ...

An Integrated Design Approach to Multilevel Fault Tolerant Control of Distributed Systems

This work deals with the description of a design procedure for hierarchical Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) of large-scale systems. Following a functional perspective, a procedure for the modular design of the diagnostic and reconfiguration algorithms which run at different levels of the hierarchy is presented. Moreover a hierarchical decision logic algorithm is obtained by means of the theoretica...
