Simultaneous Fault Detection and Control for Discrete-Time Systems via a Switched Scheme
This paper is concerned with the problem of simultaneous fault detection and control for linear systems with a switched scheme. The switched detector/controller is designed simultaneously and generates two signals such that it provides fault tolerance, especially including “destabilizing failure” meanwhile, it generates the residual signal to alarm the fault. When the faults are detected, the detector/controller is switched to reduce the effect of the faults. When the faults are removed, the detector/controller is switched to the original detector/controller to guarantee the control objective. In addition, it has time delay in detection of the faults; then the time-driven switching strategy for asynchronous case is included. Thus a mixed switching strategy is proposed. A two-step procedure is adopted to obtain the solutions through satisfying a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, an example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
