Fault-tolerant control systems: design and practical applications

This book reports the development of fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control (FTC) methods with their application to real plants. After an introduction to fault diagnosis and FTC, a chapter on actuators and sensors in systems withvarying degrees of nonlinearity leads to three chapters in which the design of FTC systems is given thorough coverage for real applications: a winding machine typifying a subsystem in various sheet and film processes; a hydraulic 3-tank system representative of those used widely in chemical plants; and an active suspension system demonstrating application in whole large-scale systems bysplitting into subsystems. Actuator and sensor faults are accommodated withinthe control-law design and the integration of fault diagnosis models in the FTC systems described. Linearized systems around an operating point and nonlinear systems are discussed and illustrated. A complete simulation platform of the 3-tank system is provided via download from www.springer.com / ISBN 978-1-84882-652-6. Provides the reader with credible demonstration of the techniques of fault-tolerant control in real systems derived from both industrial collaboration and laboratory-scale systems Gives the reader fundamental grounding in fault diagnosis and fault tolerance while connecting to the state of the art inboth theory and practice INDICE: Introduction to Model-based Fault Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control.- Actuator and Sensor Fault-tolerant Control Design.- Application to a Winding Machine.- Application to a Three-tank System.- Sensor FTC Method Appliedto an Active Suspension System.- Conclusion.- Appendix.
