Integrated fault estimation and accommodation design for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with actuator faults

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of integrated robust fault estimation (FE) and accommodation for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems. First, a multiconstrained reduced-order FE observer (RFEO) is proposed to achieve FE for discrete-time T-S fuzzy models with actuator faults. Based on the RFEO, a new fault estimator is constructed. Then, using the information of online FE, a new approach for fault accommodation based on fuzzy-dynamic output feedback is designed to compensate for the effect of faults by stabilizing the closed-loop systems. Moreover, the RFEO and the dynamic output feedback fault-tolerant controller are designed separately, such that their design parameters can be calculated readily. Simulation results are presented to illustrate our contributions.
