In this work we study a new approach of fault tolerant control schema.The suggested strategy is an active Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) strategy that reconfigures the controller on-line taking into account changes due to the faults where both the block of fault detection and the block of the controller are formulated as a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problem. The problem of fault estimation is...

This paper investigates and compares the effects of dynamic fault impendence variation on the accuracy of estimating location of faults on series compensated transmission lines, using a novel fault location algorithm based on the measurement of instantaneous signals, derived from both ends of high voltage transmission lines. In order to estimate fault location accurately, it is necessary to com...

In wide area backup protection of electric power systems, the prerequisite of protection device’s accurate, fast and reliable performance is its corresponding fault type and fault location can be discriminated quickly and defined exactly. In our study, global information will be introduced into the backup protection system. By analyzing and computing real-time PMU measurements, basing on cluste...

This paper focuses on the use of parameter estimation techniques for the implementation of real-time Fault Detection and Diagnosis schemes. A detailed analysis of the nonrecursive and recursive Least Squares methods is given in the context of the system diagnosis problem, and a procedure for performing fault detection and identification for multivariable systems is proposed. An application exam...

Integrated System Health Management methodologies require efficient fault identification approaches to ease system reconfiguration or to adapt controllers to accommodate for the faulty behaviors. However, accurate and timely on-line fault identification of complex, nonlinear systems is difficult and can be computationally expensive. In this work, we extend the quantitative fault isolation and i...

Iterated Hilbert transform (IHT) is a new method for multicomponent demodulation. The principle of IHT is introduced, and some of its properties are researched. Although the amplitudes of the demodulated components obtained by IHT are accurate, there are limitations in the direct estimation of instantaneous frequencies via the extracted phases, so a smoothed instantaneous frequency estimation (...

In this Faults or process failures may drastically change system behaviour leading to performance degradation and instability. The reliability and fault-tolerance of a control system can be achieved through the design of either an active or passive Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) scheme. This paper proposes a new approach to fault compensation for FTC using fault estimation by which the faults act...

Water pipe network is installed underground and once equipped, it is difficult to recognize the state of pipes when the leak or burst happens. Accordingly, post management is often delayed after the fault occurs. Therefore, the systematic fault management system of water pipe network is required to prevent the accident and minimize the loss. In this work, we develop online fault detection syste...
