Both propeller faults and failures are considered, such as loss of partial propeller effectiveness and loss of one or more propellers. The main contribution is to propose a method to compute recoverable set for different faulty conditions using sum of squares (SOS). The recoverable set is an invariant set and it is the set of initial states, which can be driven to the equilibrium point while respecting propeller faults, failures and rotating speed limits. Before computing the set, feasible equilibrium points are calculated to guarantee relaxed hover solutions against different faulty cases. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of proposed approach with nonlinear quadrotor dynamics under various fault and failure conditions.","PeriodicalId":223249,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126566928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The active fault tolerant control system consists of a fault detection and diagnosis module along with a control allocation and fault accommodation module directly exploiting the on-line fault estimates. The use of the nonlinear geometric approach and radial basis function neural networks allows to obtain a precise fault isolation, independently from the knowledge of aerodynamic disturbance parameters, and to design generalised estimation filters, which do not need a priori information about the internal model of the signal to be estimated. The adaptive control allocation and sensor fault accommodation can handle both temporal faults and failures. Simulation results illustrate the convincing fault correction and attitude control performances of the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":223249,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127205236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schenkendorf","doi":"10.1109/SYSTOL.2016.7739813","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SYSTOL.2016.7739813","url":null,"abstract":"Over the last decade there has been an increased interest in the pharmaceutical industry to shift the manufacturing process of drugs from batch to continuous operation. The continuous manufacturing of pharmaceuticals provides significant benefits, e.g. savings in cost, time and materials - to name but a few. The implementation of a continuous manufacturing strategy, however, is challenging. To gain profit from a continuous process one has to ensure its proper operation, i.e. a long time-span until the next prospective unscheduled downtime. Thus, the installed operation units have to be: 1) robust against disturbances by engineering design principles and by advanced fault tolerant control schemes, respectively; and 2) the condition of the operation units has to be monitored reliably to trigger, in case of need, appropriate intervention strategies in a timely manner. In this paper, the focus is on the monitoring aspect. Here, a model-based fault detection and identification framework is implemented, which selects the most data-supported model candidate from a set of predefined model hypotheses including the reference model (normal behavior) as well as failure models. In addition, to enable an improved diagnosis the system under study can be steered deliberately based on the proposed concept resulting into an active fault diagnosis framework. Preliminary results are demonstrated by an academic three-tank system.","PeriodicalId":223249,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121372589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Magnetic bearings have many advantages such as contactless support and clean operation; however their use also poses some challenges connected to their inherent open loop instability. Occurrence of faults in one or more components of an active magnetic bearing may lead to loss of control of the rotor. Timely detection and isolation of faults in an active magnetic bearing could prevent hazardous system behaviour by enabling proper reconfiguration of the control system. A structural model of the bearing-rotor system is presented and used to perform a detectability and isolability analysis of faults in the magnetic actuator. Structural detectability and group-wise isolability is concluded for single and multiple faults in the actuators. A Gaussian generalized likelihood ratio test is proposed for detecting faults striking the electromagnet. The detector is capable of detecting and isolating the occurrence of faults in e.g. the windings of bearing by tracking changes in the mean value of a Gaussian distribution. The statistical distribution of the residuals in non faulty condition is characterized by experimental data of a full-scale bearing-rotor system. Verification of the detection performance is done through simulated data of a nonlinear model of the magnetic bearing calibrated against the real system.","PeriodicalId":223249,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115623177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the actuator fault problem, a linear parameter varying (LPV) sliding mode control allocation scheme has been developed. The scheme is retro-fitted to the existing baseline controller. When faults/failures are present in an elevator, the LPV sliding mode activates and re-allocates the control signal to the remaining healthy elevators. For the sensor fault problem, an LPV sliding mode observer (SMO) has been developed in such a way that the effect of uncertainty on the fault reconstruction as well as the effect of the observer-plant mismatch due to uncertain scheduling parameters are minimised. Both schemes have been coded using the AIRBUS graphical library so that they can be directly implemented on an industrial flight control computer. Both schemes are evaluated using Monte-Carlo simulations for various manoeuvres.","PeriodicalId":223249,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134393138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
