Robust Observer Based Fault Diagnosis for Nonlinear Systems


Book Description

The field of observer based fault diagnosis for nonlinear systems has become an important topic of research in the control community over the last three decades. In this thesis, the issues of robust fault detection, isolation and estimation of actuator faults and sensor faults for Lipschitz nonlinear systems has been studied using sliding mode, adaptive and descriptor system approaches. The problem of estimating actuator faults is initially discussed. The sliding mode observer (SMO) is constructed directly based on the uncertain nonlinear system. The fault is reconstructed using the concept of equivalent output injection. Sensor faults are treated as actuator faults by using integral observer based approach and then the problem of sensor fault diagnosis, including detection, isolation and estimation is studied. The proposed scheme has the ability of successfully diagnosing incipient sensor faults in the presence of system uncertainties. The results are then extended to simultaneously estimate actuator faults and sensor faults using SMOs, adaptive observers (AO) and descriptor system approaches. H_ filtering is integrated into the observers to ensure that the fault estimation error as well as the state estimation error are less than a prescribed performance level. The existence of the proposed fault estimators and their stability analysis are carried out in terms of LMIs. It has been observed that when the Lipschitz constant is unknown or too large, it may fail to find feasible solutions for observers. In order to deal with this situation, adaptation laws are used to generate an additional control input to the nonlinear system. The additional control input can eliminate the effect of Lipschitz constant on the solvability of LMIs. The effectiveness of various methods proposed in this research has been demonstrated using several numerical and practical examples. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods can achieve the prescribed performance requirements.

Robust Integration of Model-Based Fault Estimation and Fault-Tolerant Control


Book Description

Robust Integration of Model-Based Fault Estimation and Fault-Tolerant Control is a systematic examination of methods used to overcome the inevitable system uncertainties arising when a fault estimation (FE) function and a fault-tolerant controller interact as they are employed together to compensate for system faults and maintain robustly acceptable system performance. It covers the important subject of robust integration of FE and FTC with the aim of guaranteeing closed-loop stability. The reader’s understanding of the theory is supported by the extensive use of tutorial examples, including some MATLAB®-based material available from the Springer website and by industrial-applications-based material. The text is structured into three parts: Part I examines the basic concepts of FE and FTC, providing extensive insight into the importance of and challenges involved in their integration; Part II describes five effective strategies for the integration of FE and FTC: sequential, iterative, simultaneous, adaptive-decoupling, and robust decoupling; and Part III begins to extend the proposed strategies to nonlinear and large-scale systems and covers their application in the fields of renewable energy, robotics and networked systems. The strategies presented are applicable to a broad range of control problems, because in the absence of faults the FE-based FTC naturally reverts to conventional observer-based control. The book is a useful resource for researchers and engineers working in the area of fault-tolerant control systems, and supplementary material for a graduate- or postgraduate-level course on fault diagnosis and FTC. Advances in Industrial Control reports and encourages the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.




Model Based Fault Diagnosis in Complex Control Systems


Book Description

This thesis deals with model based fault diagnosis problems for several classes of systems with complexities such as uncertainties and nonlinearities. To deal with system complexities, robust and adaptive approaches are used as the main tools. To focus more on fault isolation and estimation, novel observer and output estimator based fault diagnosis schemes are proposed. Chapters 2 to 4 employ robust approaches to deal with complexities such as nonlinearities and nonparametric uncertainties. Robust observers, that is, Unknown Input Observers (UIOs) and Sliding Mode Observers (SMOs), are designed to solve fault diagnosis problems for Lipschitz nonlinear systems and Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system represented uncertain nonlinear systems. UIO and SMO based fault diagnosis schemes, whose main novelty lies in the fault isolation, are proposed. Chapters 5 and 6 also use robust approaches to attack more challenging complexities such as unmatched uncertainties. A novel idea which advocates output estimator design and abandons the state observer design is proposed. Robust output estimator based fault diagnosis schemes are developed for a class of linear systems with both matched and unmatched non-parametric uncertainties. The output estimator approach is extended to a more general class of linear systems, and a high-order sliding mode differentiator based actuator fault diagnosis scheme is designed, which is the first in fault diagnosis. Chapters 7 and 8 use adaptive approaches to cope with complexities such as parametric uncertainties. Adaptive output estimator based fault diagnosis schemes are designed for sensor and actuator fault diagnosis problems in unknown linear Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) and Multi-Input Single-Output (MISO) systems. A novel idea involving integration of fault isolation design functions into controller designs is put forward in actuator fault diagnosis. The results in this thesis demonstrate that: 1) the proposed robust observer based fault diagnosis schemes are powerful in dealing with matched uncertainties and certain types of nonlinearities; 2) the proposed robust output estimator (and output derivative estimator) based fault diagnosis schemes are powerful in counteracting unmatched non-parametric uncertainties; and 3) the adaptive output estimator approach is very promising and powerful in coping with parametric uncertainties. The thesis concludes by discussing important open problems for future research.




Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Nonlinear Systems


Book Description

The high reliability required in industrial processes has created the necessity of detecting abnormal conditions, called faults, while processes are operating. The term fault generically refers to any type of process degradation, or degradation in equipment performance because of changes in the process's physical characteristics, process inputs or environmental conditions. This book is about the fundamentals of fault detection and diagnosis in a variety of nonlinear systems which are represented by ordinary differential equations. The fault detection problem is approached from a differential algebraic viewpoint, using residual generators based upon high-gain nonlinear auxiliary systems (‘observers’). A prominent role is played by the type of mathematical tools that will be used, requiring knowledge of differential algebra and differential equations. Specific theorems tailored to the needs of the problem-solving procedures are developed and proved. Applications to real-world problems, both with constant and time-varying faults, are made throughout the book and include electromechanical positioning systems, the Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), bioreactor models and belt drive systems, to name but a few.
