Fault diagnosis of a water for injection system using enhanced structural isolation

Morten Laursen, Mogens Blanke, Dilek Düştegör (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A water for injection system supplies chilled sterile water as a solvent for pharmaceutical products. There are ultimate requirements for the quality of the sterile water, and the consequence of a fault in temperature or in flow control within the process may cause a loss of one or more batches of the production. Early diagnosis of faults is hence of considerable interest for this process. This study investigates the properties of multiple matchings with respect to isolability, and it suggests to...

Fault monitoring and fault recovery control for position-moored vessels

Shaoji Fang, Mogens Blanke (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper addresses fault-tolerant control for position mooring of a shuttle or floating production storage and offloading vessels. A complete framework for fault diagnosis is presented. A loss of a sub-sea mooring line buoyancy element and line breakage are given particular attention, since such failures might cause high-risk abortion of an oil-loading operation. With significant drift forces from waves, non-Gaussian elements dominate forces and the residuals designed for fault diagnosis. Hypothesis...

Fault tolerant control of switched nonlinear systems with time delay under asynchronous switching

Zhengrong Xiang, Ronghao Wang, Qingwei Chen (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper investigates the problem of fault tolerant control of a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems with time delay under asynchronous switching. The systems under consideration suffer from delayed switchings of the controller. First, a fault tolerant controller is proposed to guarantee exponentially stability of the switched systems with time delay. The dwell time approach is utilized for stability analysis and controller design. Then the proposed approach is extended to take into...

Fault-tolerant control strategy for actuator faults using LPV techniques: Application to a two degree of freedom helicopter

Saúl Montes de Oca, Vicenç Puig, Marcin Witczak, Łukasz Dziekan (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper, a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) strategy for Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems that can be used in the case of actuator faults is proposed. The idea of this FTC method is to adapt the faulty plant instead of adapting the controller to the faulty plant. This approach can be seen as a kind of virtual actuator. An integrated FTC design procedure for the fault identification and fault-tolerant control schemes using LPV techniques is provided as well. Fault identification is based...

Flocking control of multi-agent systems with application to nonholonomic multi-robots

Qin Li, Zhong-Ping Jiang (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we revisit the artificial potential based approach in the flocking control for multi-agent systems, where our main concerns are migration and trajectory tracking problems. The static destination or, more generally, the moving reference point is modeled by a virtual leader, whose information is utilized by some agents, called active agents (AA), for the controller design. We study a decentralized flocking controller for the case where the set of AAs is fixed. Some results on the velocity...

Flocking with informed agents

Felipe Cucker, Cristián Huepe (2008)

MathematicS In Action

Two similar Laplacian-based models for swarms with informed agents are proposed and analyzed analytically and numerically. In these models, each individual adjusts its velocity to match that of its neighbors and some individuals are given a preferred heading direction towards which they accelerate if there is no local velocity consensus. The convergence to a collective group swarming state with constant velocity is analytically proven for a range of parameters and initial conditions. Using numerical...

Fopid Controller Design for Robust Performance Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Zamani, Majid, Karimi-Ghartemani, Masoud, Sadati, Nasser (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33; 93C15, 93C55, 93B36, 93B35, 93B51; 03B42; 70Q05; 49N05This paper proposes a novel method to design an H∞ -optimal fractional order PID (FOPID) controller with ability to control the transient, steady-state response and stability margins characteristics. The method uses particle swarm optimization algorithm and operates based on minimizing a general cost function. Minimization of the cost function is carried out subject to the H∞ -norm; this norm is also...
