The router dynamics changes instantaneously when the fault occurs causing the undesirable instability in the queue length. To improve the dynamics of TCP/AQM networks, suitable controllers (stable and optimal) are synthesized using the concept of canonical controller in real time. This makes the network to maintain its stability. The main feature of this fault accommodation technique is that it solely relies on the input-output trajectories generated by the actual plant model (without having its exact knowledge) and on the performance specifications given by the desired behavior. The least restrictive controller satisfying the desired behavior is chosen based upon the generated trajectories.","PeriodicalId":253370,"journal":{"name":"2010 Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124773223","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}

A key point to ensure fault tolerance is the separation between healthy and faulty closed-loop behavior. Here we achieve this through set theoretic operations upon sets describing the healthy/faulty behavior of the system. The results rely both on an appropriate choice for the exogenous signals and on fixed point conditions for a nonlinear mapping which describes the gap between the nonlinear system and a linearized model in the functioning interval. A reference governor is employed such that, under a receding horizon technique, only feasible exogenous signals are provided to the system.","PeriodicalId":253370,"journal":{"name":"2010 Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"76 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130604793","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}

This graph is used to identify edges that disappear under certain operating conditions and prevent a fault from changing the system behavior in this operating point.

For reducing the network load and thus minimizing the uncertainty caused by transmission delay or packet dropout, instead of transmitting all measurements of velocity sensors at each sampling time, only one velocity sensor can have access to the network to transmit its measurement. In order to increase accuracy and rapidity of fault detection in motor of Drone, an approach based on Multi Sequential Probability Ratio Test for residual classification and fault detection of each motor is proposed. Then in function of accepted hypothesis of each sequential test a new communication sequence is chosen from ensemble of admissible communication sequences which preserves more medium access to a sub-system (motor) with more deviation from its normal condition.","PeriodicalId":253370,"journal":{"name":"2010 Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125787844","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 proposed fault detection and identification (FDI) approach is utilized to recursively correct the measurement vector and the model used for state estimation and prediction in the MPC formulation. The performance capabilities of the proposed FTC methodology is demonstrated by conducting series of simulation studies on a benchmark continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Analysis of the simulation results reveals that the FTC scheme facilitates significant recovery in the closed loop performance particularly on occurrence of multiple sequential faults.","PeriodicalId":253370,"journal":{"name":"2010 Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132331651","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}

That is, the plant with the sensor fault is modified adding the virtual sensor block that masks this fault and allows the controller to see the same plant as before the fault. This virtual sensor is designed using polytopic LPV techniques and Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The LPV state feedback controller is designed for quadratic H2/H∞ performance using a polytopic representation of the system that leads to solve a finite number of algebraic LMIs.

The station management module assures that all relevant data, including operational data, is available and the state of the monitoring devices is fully documented. The data validation module assures that unreliable data is detected, marked as such, and that the need for sensor maintenance is timely indicated.
