Robust adaptive fault-tolerant control applied to interconnected systems

Abstract

In this present article a centralized structure of an adaptive method to solve the problem of robust and fault tolerant control (FTC) for large-scale system linear, continuous and time invariant (LTI), against defects sensors and external disturbances is proposed. This class of system contain N-interconnected subsystems. In fact, it operates one architecture for the direct adaptive method. This is a centralized feedback controller. It is assured by some adaptation laws which are proposed to estimate the unknown potential of sensors faults, disturbances and controller parameters Online. Then, a class of centralized controllers return state is constructed to automatically compensate for the effects of faults and external disturbances based on information extracted. An adaptive mechanism from a scheme where active fault tolerant system is exploited. The proposed techniques are finally evaluated in the light of a simulation for an overall interconnected system that can be decomposed into two subsystems coupling.
