A study on the fault detection and accomodation in linear feedback control systems

선형궤환제어계의 고장검출 및 보상시스템설계에 관한 연구

The problem of process(Sensor) fault management in Observer Based Control System are considered and structures of Fault Tolerant Observer based Control Systems (FMCS) that function well in the face of the faults are proposed. The FTOCSs include detection logic unit and an additional observer driven by residuals of primary observer and estimate estimation errors of primary observer and fault variables. Since the FTOCSs have the ability to detect and accomodate the faults the original control objectives can be accomplished without considerable control performance deterioration even in the faulty environments. Therefore, the Proposed FMCSs can effectively be used for enhancing the functional reliability of the Observer Based Control Systems.
