Abstract:

Initiated three decades ago, integrated design of controllers and fault detectors has continuously attracted research attention. The recent development of the unified control and detection framework with an observer-based residual generator in its core gives a more general form of the previous works. Its applications to residual centred modelling of uncertain control systems, fault detection in feedback control systems with uncertainties, fault-tolerant control (FTC) as well as control performance degradation monitoring, detection and recovery are introduced. In conclusion, some future perspectives are proposed.

Key words: unified framework of control and detection, observer-based residual generator, Youla parameterisation, detection of additive and multiplicative faults in control loop, fault-tolerant control (FTC), loop performance degradation (LPD) monitoring and recovery
