In this paper the fault-Tolerant control problem for uncertain linear systems in the presence of L, disturbances and actuator saturation is studied. The conflict between enlarging the domain of attraction and attenuating the effect of L, disturbances is tackled by proposing a non-constant state feedback controller. The feedback gains are calculated off-line by using linear matrix inequalities. In addition, the proposed method is capable of tolerating time-varying faults. The suggested approach is implemented on a sample model and the result is compared with other works  

This paper is concerned with the disturbance attenuation problem of fuzzy large-scale systems which consist of N interconnected subsystems which are represented by Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models. Using Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), a criterion is proposed to have a prescribed level of disturbance attenuation. A numerical example is given to illustrate the control design procedure and its effectiveness  

This paper presents a novel fault-tolerant control strategy to compensate the time-varying loss of actuators’ effectiveness. It considers intermediate situations where the fault is not determined precisely (unlike active approaches) but overall estimations about its rate and final value are available through the previous experiences and/or experiments. Based on the estimations, two upper and lower time-varying bounds on the actuators’ effectiveness are established to be exploited in the procedure of controller design. In a special case, where these bounds are constant, the method will be reduced to the conventional passive approach. Also, actuator saturation and the effects of (Formula... 

Renovation and retrofit of gas turbine control systems yield significant economic savings, enhanced reliability, and improved performance. In recent years, the gas turbine industry is increasingly facing the need to well-established procedures for the acceptance tests of renovated control systems. This paper proposes a unified framework to evaluate the performance of renovated gas turbine control systems. Under a set of assumptions on the ambient and fuel conditions, a low-complexity modular model is presented and identified using optimization-oriented identification techniques. The accuracy of the proposed model is validated through experimental studies in full-load, min-load, and no-load...

This paper proposes a novel method to designing an H∞ PID controller with robust stability and disturbance attenuation. This method uses particle swarm optimization algorithm to minimize a cost function subject to-norm to design robust performance PID controller. We propose two cost functions to design of a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) and single-input, single-output (SISO) robust performance PID controller. We apply this method to a SISO flexible-link manipulator and a MIMO super maneuverable F18/HARV fighter aircraft system as two challenging examples to illustrate the design procedure and to verify performance of the proposed PID controller design methodology. It is shown with...
