Instrumental tools for design and development of technical objects' Fault Tolerant Control systems

Abstract

This Development of Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) systems presumes the development of a certain control method and testing it, which is not always possible in the real life and in the frames of a real technical system. Thus, it is great importance for a researcher or an engineer to have the possibility to check the proposed control method through simulation of different faults and the system's reaction on them using a set of benchmark models. These models should be complex and representative enough and allow simulation of different types of faults as well as varying the faults number and the time of occurrence. The goal of the work carried out was the creation of a convenient environment for the development of FTC systems for technical objects and complexes based on a set of benchmark representative research models for experimental testing of different approaches to diagnostics and assurance of fault-tolerant control.
