Simultaneous estimation of multiple actuator anc sensor faults for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the problem of a Takagi-Sugeno(TS)-based robust simultaneous actuator and sensor faults estimator design for the purpose of the Fault Diagnosis (FD) of non-linear systems. The proposed methodology of designing a TS-based H∞ fault estimator is developed in this paper. The main novelty of the approach is associated with possibly of simultaneous sensor and actuator faults estimation. The developed approach guaranties a predefined disturbance attenuation level and convergence of the designed estimator. The illustrative part of the paper shows an example of the application of the developed approach in the task of the fault diagnosis of the multi-tank system.
