TO OUR WIVES, BELOVED CHILDREN AND DEAR PARENTS

Preface Modern technological systems rely on sophisticated control functions to meet increased performance requirements. For such systems, Fault Tolerant Control Systems (FTCSs) need to be developed. FTCSs can be broadly classied into passive and active. A Passive FTCS (PFTCS) can tolerate a predened set of faults while accomplishing its mission satisfactory without the need for control reconguration. Active FTCS (AFTCS), on the other hand, relies on a Fault Detection and Identication (FDI) process to monitor system performance, and to detect and isolate faults in the system. Accordingly, the control law is recongured on-line. The dynamic behavior of AFTCS can be modelled by Stochastic Dierential Equations (SDE), due to the fact that faults are random in nature, and the FDI decisions are non-deterministic. In general, SDE can be classied into two categories: SDE perturbed by white Gaussian noise (Ito dierential equations), and SDE whose coecients vary randomly with Markovian characteristics (hybrid systems). The dynamic behavior of an AFTCS belongs to the class of hybrid systems. It is hybrid because it combines both the Euclidean space for system dynamics and the discrete space for fault-induced changes. Stochastic stability of AFTCS is of prime importance. Substantial results for the stability of hybrid systems were obtained using the Lyapunov function approach and the supermartingale property. A major class of hybrid systems is Jump Linear Systems (JLS). In JLS, the random

jumps in system parameters are represented by a nite state Markov chain representing the plant regime mode. The usual models of JLS assume the perfect knowledge of the plant regime, which implies that FDI algorithms detect faults instantaneously and always correctly. Unfortunately, this assumption is too idealistic in reality, since all FDI algorithms have non-zero detection delays and errors in detection. To relax this assumption, another class of hybrid systems has been de ned. This class of systems is known as Fault Tolerant Control Systems with Markovian Parameters. In FTCSMP, two random processes with dierent state spaces were de ned and used to characterize the behavior of AFTCS. The rst represents system component faults, and the second represents the FDI algorithm used for the control law recon guration. The main objective of this book is to study and to validate some important issues in real-time AFTCS through theoretical analysis and simulation. To achieve this objective, several FTCSMP models have been developed. These models take into consideration of practical aspects of the system to be controlled, performance deterioration in FDI algorithms, and limitations in recon gurable control laws. The rst topic considered in the book concerns with the practical issues of the system to be controlled. This involves: the inclusion of the environmental noises and multiple faults in dierent system components. These issues can be briey detailed as follows: For FTCSMP to be applicable in practical control systems, environmental noises must be taken into account. This vital issue was not studied adequately so far for FTCSMP. Hence, the eect of noise on the stability of FTCSMP is emphasized in this book. Both state-dependent and independent white Gaussian noises are considered. A method for modelling multiple component faults is presented. In practice, faults are random in size, time of occurrence, and locations (sensors, plant, or actuators). To relax the traditional assumption of a single component malfunction, the developed FTCSMP model allows the modelling of multiple faults at dierent locations

simultaneously. The
eld of FDI for dynamic systems has become an important topic of research. Many applications of qualitative and quantitative modeling and statistical signal processing techniques are being developed for complex engineering systems. Uniquely, in this book, the FDI algorithm is not assumed to operate perfectly. The impact of FDI imperfections, such as detection delays and errors in detection and identi
cation, on the stochastic stability of FTCSMP is studied in this book. Furthermore, the book addresses the issue of stabilizing FTCSMP with modelling constraints due to practical limitations. The
rst issue is actuator saturation. Valves are typical examples used in process industries. A control valve has a range of operation limited by being fully opened and fully closed. Unfortunately, the physical limitation of actuator saturation is unavoidable. If such a limit is not taken into account, a large overshoot in system response may be induced which could lead to an unstable closed-loop system. Stability conditions are derived and a procedure for stabilizing state-feedback control law is developed for FTCSMP driven by actuators with saturation. Another practical limitation is the inaccuracy of estimated system parameters. This inaccuracy arises due to modelling errors, environmental noises, statistical nature of the FDI algorithm, and the limited amount of time available for FDI algorithms to provide a reliable decision. As a result, FDI algorithms estimate system parameters with some uncertainties compared with the nominal parameters. This motivates the study and the design of a stabilizing controller for FTCSMP with parameter uncertainties. Finally, the book introduces several design approaches for fault tolerant control laws. The controller is
rst synthesized in noise-free environments, results are then extended to noisy environments. A Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problem is formulated and is utilized as the main approach to obtain a fault tolerant control law. The LQR problem is solved

using the matrix maximum principle for an equivalent deterministic cost function. Three scenarios have been considered. The
rst assumes that both the failure and FDI processes are accessible to the controller. In the second scenario, only the FDI process is accessible. The case where the FDI process itself is not able to provide any decision due to physical malfunction or excessive computational time is the third scenario. A computational algorithm is proposed to synthesize a fault tolerant control law. The design of a control law for FTCSMP in noisy environment is also considered in this book. Three types of noise are considered: state-dependent, control-dependent and purely additive white Gaussian noise. In particular, conditions for the existence of a control law for FTCSMP in the presence of noise are derived. The limiting behavior of the cost function, the Riccati-like and the covariance-like dierential equations is studied. The conditions that guarantee the
niteness of the cost function and the existence of steady-state solutions, for both Riccati-like and covariance-like dierential equations, are stated and veri
ed. A computational algorithm, to synthesize controller parameters, is constructed. The book adopts the Lyapunov second (direct) method to characterize the behavior of FTCSMP without explicit solution of the stochastic dierential equations. A prime focus of the book is the stochastic stability of FTCSMP. In particular, exponential stability in the mean square and almost sure asymptotic stability. The weak in
nitesimal operator and the supermartingale property of a stochastic Lyapunov function are employed to derive conditions for stochastic stability of FTCSMP. All theoretical results are validated by simulation examples. Researchers and industrial experts will appreciate the combination of practical issues and their mathematical treatment. Control engineers will bene
t from the results presented herein and may extend this work to dierent area of applications.

Chapter Summary The book is organized as follows:

Chapter 1 presents a review of FTCS. The chapter de nes FTCS and classi es the existing design approaches into: PFTCS and AFTCS. The need for FTCS to increase reliability and automation level in modern engineering systems is also highlighted.

Chapter 2 provides the state-of-the-arts in AFTCS. A particular focus is on the major elements in AFTCS: Fault Detection and Identi cation (FDI) algorithms and Controller Recon guration Mechanisms (CRM).

Chapter 3 outlines the extension of deterministic stability concepts to stochastic systems briey. It de nes some stochastic terms and introduces the tools necessary to study the stability of sample solutions of stochastic systems. The chapter wraps up by highlighting some important stochastic de nitions and conditions.

Chapter 4 formulates the mathematical model of FTCSMP. This includes the dynamical system and both the failure and the FDI processes. The Markovian behavior of the failure and the FDI processes is also emphasized and justi ed. A method to calculate the conditional transition rates of the FDI process is also outlined.

Chapter 5 examines the stochastic stability of FTCSMP in noisy environment and in the case where the system to be controlled is subject to multiple failures in dierent

components. Chapter 6 is devoted to imperfections of FDI algorithms. In particular, an analytical representation of detection delays and errors in detection is developed. The eect of these imperfections on the stability of FTCSMP is considered. Chapter 7 addresses some important practical limitations in modelling FTCSMP. It considers the case where the FTCSMP is driven by actuators with possible saturation. In addition, the chapter considers another important limitation in the performance of FDI algorithms which is uncertainties in the estimated system parameters. A quadratic upper bound is utilized and a stabilization algorithm is constructed. Chapter 8 presents a comprehensive design approach to fault tolerant control law. Here, an equivalent deterministic cost function is dened and minimized using matrix maximum principle. Both nite and innite time horizons are considered and a control law is designed in noise-free and noisy environments. Chapter 9 concludes the book by a few remarks and recommendations for future research.

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Modern technological devices rely on sophisticated control systems to meet increased performance requirements. For such systems, the consequences of faults in system components can be catastrophic. Reliability of such systems can be increased by ensuring that faults will not occur, however, this objective is unrealistic and often unattainable because faults may arise not only due to components aging and wear, but also as human errors in connection with installation and maintenance. Therefore, it is necessary to design control systems that are able to tolerate possible faults in such systems to improve reliability and availability. This type of control systems is often known as Fault Tolerant Control Systems (FTCSs), which can be classied into two categories: active and passive. In this book, we are concerned with the design and analysis of active FTCSs.

1.1 Fault Tolerant Control System (FTCS) 1.1.1 Denition of FTCS

A FTCS is a control system that can accommodate system component faults and is able to maintain stability and acceptable degree of performance not only when the system is fault-free but also when there are component malfunctions. FTCS prevents faults in a subsystem from developing into failures at the system level. M.M. Mahmoud, J. Jiang, Y.

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

FTCS may be called upon to improve system reliability, maintainability, and survivability 169]. The objectives of FTCS may be dierent for dierent applications. A FTCS is said to improve reliability if it allows normal completion of tasks even after component faults. FTCS could improve maintainability by increasing the time between maintenance actions and allowing the use of simpler repair procedures. 1.1.2 Classication of FTCS

The design techniques for FTCS can be classi ed into two approaches: PFTCS and AFTCS 151]. A particular approach to be employed depends on the ability to determine the faults that a system may undergo at the design phase, the behavior of fault-induced changes, and the type of redundancy being utilized in the system. Figure 1.1 shows classi cation of FTCS approaches. Fault Tolerant Control Systems

Figure 1.1: Classi cation of fault tolerant control systems. In this approach, a system may tolerate only a limited number of faults which are assumed to be known prior to the design of the controller. Once the controller is designed, it can compensate for the anticipated faults without any access of on-line fault information. PFTCS treats the faults as if they were sources of modelling uncertainty 151]. PFTCS:

1.1. FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL SYSTEM (FTCS)

PFTCS has a very limited fault tolerance capability. When running on-line, a passive controller is robust only to the presumed faults. Therefore, it is quite risky to rely on PFTCS alone 151]. In general, PFTCS has the following characteristics:

1 Robust for anticipated faults. 2 Utilizes hardware redundancy (multiple actuators and sensors, etc.). 3 More conservative. AFTCS: In most conventional control systems, controllers are designed for fault-free systems without considering the possibility of fault occurrence. In other cases, the system to be controlled may have a limited physical redundancy and it is not possible to increase or change the hardware conguration due to cost or physical restrictions. In these cases, an AFTCS could be designed using the available resources and employing both physical and analytic system redundancy to accommodate unanticipated faults.

AFTCS compensates for the e ects of faults either by selecting a pre-computed control law, or by synthesizing a new control law on-line in real-time. Both approaches need a Fault Detection and Identication (FDI) algorithm to identify the fault-induced changes and to recongure the control law on-line.

Background and Motivations

FTCS is a strategy for highly reliable control system synthesis. It is the synonym for a collection of recent techniques that have been developed to increase plant reliability and availability and reduce the risk of safety hazards. FTCS is designed to accommodate faults in early stage of their development, such that minor faults in a sub-system do not develop into failures at the system level. FTCS may command either a safe shutdown, or a continued operation with graceful degradation in performance. The need for FTCS to increase reliability and automation level of modern control systems is becoming more apparent. FTCS is being utilized in various control applications such as: safety-critical systems (nuclear reactors, aircraft, missile guidance systems), cost-critical systems (large space structures, space vehicles, autonomous underwater vehicles), and volume-critical systems (assembly processes in auto-industry, mobile communication networks, automated highways).

1.2. BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATIONS

5

In nuclear power plants, as an example of safety-critical systems, the occurrence of a fault may lead to human/environmental disaster. A proper control action could be a safe shutdown for the plant in the presence of emergency. In cost-critical and volume-critical systems, the occurrence of a fault may cause a huge economical loss. Autonomous underwater and unmanned space vehicles are examples where the vehicle must be able to deal with unexpected events, such as faults, in a predictable manner. In the worst case scenario, the vehicle should be able to return safely (not completing the mission). In industry, there are several examples where minor faults have caused a shutdown or even damage to equipment and thereby an expensive production stop. Among the abundant examples of fatal fault situations, two cases are cited here: 1. On 26th of April 1986, there occurred near the Ukrainian town of Chornobyl a tremendous explosion at a huge nuclear power plant, followed by a gradual meltdown of the reactor No. 4. The main cause for this tragedy was the faulty outdated technology and the lack of a fault handling mechanism 183]. 2. The Ariane 5 rocket exploded on June 4th, 1996 thirty seven seconds after lift-o. The reason was a software exception in the Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) that provides attitude and trajectory information for the control system. The exception caused the normal attitude information to be replaced by some diagnostic information that the control system was not designed to understand 27]. The catastrophic consequences of these fault cases could have been avoided or at least mitigated if the control system is designed with certain degree of fault tolerant capabilities. In the rst case, a FTCS could have been designed to lead to a safe shutdown of the reactor. In the second case, the malfunction of the IRU could be

considered as a sensor fault and a voting mechanism could have been implemented to perform a consistency check of the attitude information against the expected attitude.

1.3 Advances in Fault Tolerant Control Systems As mentioned previously, the main task in FTCSs is the design of a controller to guarantee the system stability and acceptable performance, not only when the system is fault-free but also when there is a component malfunction (sensor, actuator, plant component, or any combination). This task was tackled by employing robust control techniques to design a controller that guarantee a fail-safe operation of the system. A system is said to be fail-safe if the closed-loop system remains stable in the event of component faults. These design methods exploit the high level of redundancy and diversity in sensors and actuators. MacFarlane, 120], used such design methodology to dene an important concept known as system integrity. A feedback controller for systems with integrity was designed in 172], whereas necessary and su cient conditions for the stability of systems possessing integrity were derived in 55, 67]. When FTCSs start to attract the attention of researchers as a vital modern control tool, the concept of system integrity was further extended to design PFTCSs. A design approach for PFTCS against actuator faults was developed using state feedback control based on the solution of Riccati-like equations in 165], and based on the solution of Lyapunov equation in 164]. However, these design approaches are only applicable to open-loop asymptotically stable systems. This limitation was relaxed under the assumption that the actuator fault modes are restricted to a specic set and using linear quadratic control in 92, 179], and with H1 norm bound performance measure in 180]. The problem of simultaneous stabilization where a single control law is used to stabilize multiple systems was dened and studied in 181]. While the reliable stabi-

lization problem, the dual problem, concerns with the design of multiple controllers to stabilize a single system was studied in 182]. These methods can be extended employing systems hardware redundancy for the design of a PFTCS 93]. A graphical design scheme was proposed in 1], this approach can guarantee the closed-loop stability of the system in case of actuator/sensor faults by proper selection of controller structure and parameters. For situations where there is a limited hardware redundancy in the system and a limited knowledge (process history and faults statistics) of possible faults, AFTCS shall be used to improve system reliability. Generally speaking, there has been signicant research for AFTCS. Unfortunately, most of this research is scattered in the literature and focuses only on individual aspects of AFTCS. A comprehensive survey of the design methods for basic blocks of AFTCS is detailed in Chapter 2 with special focus on FDI algorithms and controller reconguration mechanisms. AFTCS is a topic of active and ongoing research. Signicant research completed to retain system stability against component faults in ight control systems, such as a self-repairing ight controller to accommodate surface malfunctions 81]. This controller distributes control authority to the remaining eectors. In 117], system performance in frequency domain is used to design an automatic re-structurable controller. To recover system performance subsequent to a fault, a pseudo-inverse based method was developed in 59]. A major drawback for this method is that the stability of the impaired system cannot be guaranteed. The method has been modied in 60], such that the dierence between the nominal and the estimated closed-loop system after the fault is minimized subject to stability constrains. To enhance performance recovery, an eigenstructure assignment based algorithm was proposed in 87] and investigated further in 202, 203, 204]. Promising results were obtained by employing the linear matrix inequality technique in 25, 131]. In practical control systems, faults are random in nature. They may occur at

8

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

random instants of time, have unknown size and can happen to any system component (sensors, plant, or actuators). Moreover, control systems in practice are subject to measurement noises and disturbances from the surroundings and the communication channels. In addition, the majority of FDI algorithms relies on statistical hypothesis tests. All these facts necessitate that AFTCSs be best modelled as stochastic systems. The dynamic behavior of an AFTCS can be modelled by stochastic dierential equation and can be viewed as a general hybrid system. It is hybrid because it combines both the Euclidean space for system dynamics and the discrete space for faultinduced changes. Stability of hybrid systems was rst studied using the Lyapunov function approach in 95], and the supermartingale property of Lyapunov functions in 17, 107]. A major class of hybrid systems is Jump Linear Systems (JLS). In JLS, the random jumps in system parameters are represented by a nite state Markov chain known as the plant regime mode. The research in JLS can be broadly classied into two categories: the rst focuses on deriving necessary and/or sucient conditions for the existence of optimal quadratic regulator. An optimal control law was designed using the dynamic programming principle in 190], and using the matrix maximum principle in 173]. Sucient conditions for the existence of a steady-state optimal JLS controller were derived in 191]. A control strategy for JLS in the presence of disturbances was developed in 13], and in the presence of noise in 174]. The design of H1 and H2 control law for JLS were considered in 32, 33, 35, 36, 50]. The linear matrix inequality approach was employed to design a control law for uncertain JLS in 58]. A constrained state feedback control law was synthesized in 34]. The second category deals with the properties of this class of systems such as stability 10, 14, 31, 48, 49, 68, 114], controllability and observability 30, 86], and the solution of resulting Riccati equations 41, 42]. It is important to mention that the models of JLS assume perfect knowledge of the regime.

1.4. SCOPE OF THE BOOK

9

Unfortunately, all FDI algorithms have non-zero detection delays and error probabilities associated with their decisions. Therefore, the JLS model which assumes perfect regime knowledge do not t the AFTCS exactly. As a result, sucient conditions for exponential stability in the mean square of JLS with detection delays were derived in 19, 133]. However, the results are based on the assumption of certainty of correct fault identication. To relax this assumption for better description of AFTCS, another class of hybrid systems was dened in 168]. This class of systems is known as Fault Tolerant Control Systems with Markovian Parameters (FTCSMP). In FTCSMP, two random processes with dierent state spaces were dened and used to study the behavior of AFTCS in 168]: the rst represents system component faults, and the second represents the FDI algorithm used for the control law reconguration. Very recently, the superiority of FTCSMP model to describe the dynamical behavior and to study AFTCS was demonstrated in several works. The vital issue of environmental noises and how they aect the overall performance of FTCSMP was studied in 128]. FTCSMP with multiple fault processes was dened to account for independent faults in dierent system components in 122, 129]. Imperfections in the performance of the FDI algorithms including detection delays, false alarm and errors in detection were also considered in 125]. A control law for FTCSMP using the matrix maximum principle and for dierent operating scenarios was designed for noise-free and noisy environments in 123] and 126], respectively. The eect of imprecise FDI estimation on the stability of FTCSMP was considered in 124], and the design of a stabilizing controller that can tolerate uncertainties in the estimated parameters in 89, 90, 127]. 1.4

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

sign elements of AFTCS (FDI algorithm, recongurable controller, and decision logic unit) are diverse and range from simple to complex. Principles of their functionality are numerous (binary logic, probabilistic methods, articial neural networks, etc). In addition, the system to be controlled may be simple or large-scale, lumped or distributed, static or dynamic, linear or nonlinear. All these facts create diculties when trying to develop a general model for FTCS. Generally speaking, research on FTCS can be conducted in both deterministic and stochastic domains. A comprehensive overview of the status of FTCS up to 1997 was provided in 151]. The subject of this book falls within the area of AFTCS that are modelled by stochastic linear dierential equations with randomly varying parameters. Random parameters are due to random faults that may occur and the non-deterministic nature of the FDI algorithms. The random nature of the FDI process can be assumed to have a strong Markovian characteristics. A primary concern, in this book, is the faults in system actuators and plant components. Sensors integrity is assumed in all work completed. It will be claried in Chapter 2 that multiple redundancy with majority voting is sucient to accommodate sensor faults. Hence, the assumption of sensor integrity is not a limitation to the work conducted. Moreover, this book only considers the case where the system to be controlled is linear.

Chapter ACTIVE FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL IN PROSPECTIVE . Introduction There has been signi cant research for AFTCS design. Unfortunately most of research is scattered in the literature and considers only the individual elements of AFTCS. Some work has been completed to combine dierent blocks of AFTCS together and to study performance of the overall AFTCS. The issue of merging blocks of FTCS seems to be easy task in principle unfortunately this is not the case in reality    . The main diculty that arises when combining the blocks in AFTCS is that each individual block is assumed to operate perfectly and is readily available to provide decisions actions instantaneously to other blocks. This chapter reviews the modelling of faults in dynamic systems presents dierent design methods for FDI and controller recon guration and wraps-up by highlighting the need for fault tolerant control in modern dynamic systems.

Faults in Dynamic Systems

A fault is de ned as an unpermitted deviation of at least one characteristic property or parameter of the system from the acceptable behavior. The fault is a state that may lead to a malfunction or a failure in the system. Faults may take place in M.M. Mahmoud, J. Jiang, Y.

Since an actuator is often considered as the entrance to the system actuator faults have severe consequences on the system performance. Moreover actuators are usually expensive large in size and need a large driving signal. Therefore it is generally very di cult to add extra hardware redundancy to increase reliability. Sensor faults include incorrect reading due to malfunction in sensor circuit elements or transducers. Three types of sensor faults can be identied dynamic changes in transducer gain reduction and unknown bias. Fortunately sensors are usually small in size and do not need large driving signals. As a result sensor reliability can be increased by utilizing parallel hardware redundancy followed by a majority voting scheme. Plant component faults cause changes in the dynamical relationship among the system variables. These faults are caused by physical parameter changes in the sys-

If faults are to be classied according to their induced eects on the system performance they can be classied into two types as shown in Figure . additive and multiplicative  . Additive faults result in changes only in the mean value of the system output signal. Whereas multiplicative faults result in changes in variance correlations of the system output signal as well as changes in the spectral characteristics and dynamics of the system.

Fault Detection and Identication FDI

The main task of AFTCS is on-line reconguration of the controller. For this to be possible detailed information about fault-induced changes is required. In this context an FDI algorithm plays crucial role in AFTCS. The FDI algorithm monitors system performance to detect the occurrence of faults and to determine their magnitudes.

.. Approaches to FDI Several FDI approaches have been developed. In general these approaches can be categorized into signal-based and model-based techniques

 . Signal-based methods detect faults by testing specic properties of measurement signals. Bandpass lters and spectral analysis are examples of the several techniques employed in signal-based methods.

In the parity space approaches residuals are computed as the dierence between the measured outputs and estimated outputs and their associated derivatives. The method reshapes the primary residual signals using a transformation matrix to make the residual insensitive to unknown disturbances and to increase fault identi cation ability. The parity space approach has been developed in frequency domain in 
 and in time domain in  . The parameter estimation methods for FDI are based on the concept that faults typically aect the physical coe cients of the process. By continuously estimating the parameters of a process model residuals are computed as the parameter estimation errors. To successfully isolate faults the mapping from the model coe cients to the process parameters must exist and be known.

Analytic symptoms generation is a quantiable analytical information about the process obtained by data processing of the measurable signals. If the input and output signals to a process are measurable model-based methods can then be used. However if only output signals of a process can be measured signal-based methods should be applied. Heuristic symptoms are represented as linguistic variables e.g. small medium large or as vague numbers e.g. around a certain value. The symptoms can be produced using qualitative information from human operators through human observations in the form of acoustic noise vibrations or optical impressions such as color or smoke. The heuristic knowledge of the process includes process history and faults statistics. Process history includes the past information of running time load measures last maintenance or repair. If fault statistics exist they describe the frequency of certain faults for the same or similar process. Fault statistics can be used as analytical or heuristic symptoms.

.. Performance measures in FDI To evaluate the performance of a FDI process several performance indices have been dened and used   such as Correct Fault CF detection False Alarm FA rate Missed Fault MF detection Incorrect Fault IF detection and Detection Delays DD. The major emphasis in quantitative model-based FDI has been placed upon methods of detecting and isolating faults rapidly and accurately   . A good FDI process should possess certain degree of robustness in its decisions. The robustness in decision means that the FDI process should have high CF and low FA MF IF and DD.

. Control System Reconguration The purpose of controller reconguration is to compensate for the eects of the failed component. Reconguration mechanisms can be classied as on-line controller selection and on-line controller calculation methods. In the rst controllers associated with preassumed fault conditions are computed a priori in the design phase and initiated on-line based on the real-time information from the FDI algorithm. These methods are sometimes known as projection-based methods. In the second class of methods controllers are synthesized on-line and in real-time after the occurrence of faults. Control law re-scheduling multiple models and interacting multiple models approaches are examples of projection-based approach. In this approach pre-computed control laws are selected based on an estimate of the system impairment status. This approach has been considered in several works   
  . This approach is highly dependent on prompt and correct operation of the FDI algorithm. Any false missed or error in detection may lead to degraded performance or even a complete loss of the stability of the closed-loop system. Recently in an

.. CONTROL SYSTEM RECONFIGURATION




attempt to deal with these FDI robustness problems and to design a stability guarateed AFTCs methods employing Linear Matrix Inequality LMI theory have been proposed in   . One of the on-line controller design methods is the Pseudo-Inverse Method PIM. The principle of PIM is to recompute the controller gain matrix such that the recon gured system approximates the nominal system in some sense. A severe drawback of this method is that the stability of the recon gured system is not guaranteed 
. To overcome this stability problem a modi ed PIM method was proposed in which the di erence between the closed-loop matrices is minimized subject to the stability constraints  . An Eigenstructure Assignment EA based algorithm was proposed in . In this approach the post-fault eigenvalues and eigenvectors are assigned in an optimal way such that performance recovery of the original system is maximized. Extension to integrated FDI and recon gurable control design using EA algorithms has been developed in    An approach that is related to PIM is the control distribution concept reported in . In this method a control distribution matrix is computed based on the minimization of L2ᝇnorm of a quantity that provides a measure for the di erence between failed and healthy systems. Another on-line recon guration method is the model-following approach. In this approach controller gains are calculated on-line either by enforcing system trajectories to follow the desired trajectories explicit model following    or by minimizing a quadratic cost function of the actual and the modelled states implicit model following . Recently AFTCS design schemes with explicit consideration of graceful performance degradation using explicit model-following approach have been proposed in   .




CHAPTER . ACTIVE FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL IN PROSPECTIVE

Feedback linearization is an established on-line reconguration technique applied to nonlinear systems 
     . Here an adaptive base-line controller is modied on-line by the output of a parameter estimation algorithm. To overcome diculties in existing on-line methods and to integrate the FDI scheme and on-line recongurable control law in a coherent manner without any pre-assumption of the knowledge of the post-fault system several integrated design approaches have been proposed recently    



 . An on-line reconguration method that does not require the use of FDI algorithms is the hybrid adaptive linear quadratic control proposed in  . Even though this design method does not need explicit fault information it has an on-line fault accommodation capability. A hybrid approach which designs a fault tolerant control system utilizing system redundancy has been employed  .

. Applications of FTCS FTCS is designed to increase reliability and automation level of modern control systems. The need to achieve the objectives of FTCS maintaining stability and satisfactory performance is apparent in several applications such as hazardous chemical plants   control of nuclear reactors     spacecraft   aircrafthelicopter 
 
  
    computer systems 
 space structure 
    missile guidance systems   underwater vehicles   automated highway systems     industrial systems        . As pointed out earlier these applications can be grouped into safety-critical systems cost-critical systems and volume-critical systems. In aircraft as an example of safety-critical systems the maneuvering capabilities were increased at the cost of reduced static stability. Since the system is open-loop unstable a well designed stabilizing FTCS is required to accommodate any possible fault in aircraft actuators sensors or ight computers hardware.

.. APPLICATIONS OF FTCS




Dependability is one of the key elements for practical usage of autonomous vehicles which are used for space and ocean exploration. Space structures as an example contains hundreds of sensors and actuators mounted on their surfaces. The huge cost to reach these structures enforces a long in-orbit mission time to minimize economical losses due to failed components. Availability has become a key incentive for automated production processes and supply utilities. With increasing level of automation to achieve desired quality plants have become more assailable to faults in system components. For such systems FTCS oers a possible way of obtaining increased availability hence protability. The substantial body of research in the area of FDI and recongurable control has lead to signicant results for each mechanism individually. Unfortunately the combination of FDIcontrol reconguration functions is not well addressed in the literature. This issue is very complex and vital. Complexity arises due to the stochastic behavior of the combined AFTCS and vitality is the natural result of practical constraints arising from application studies. Modelling AFTCS to account for practical limitations and stochastic stability of the developed AFTCS models are the prime focus of this book. To better characterize the stochastic behavior of AFTCS dierent concepts and tools used to study stochastic stability for general stochastic systems are presented with some detail in next chapter.

Chapter 3 STOCHASTIC STABILITY 3.1

Introduction

Stability is a qualitative property of a system, which can be studied without a direct recourse to solve the di
erential equations that describe the system. Stability is often the most important property of a dynamical system. In control engineering, one needs to make sure that the closed-loop system is stable (or at least stabilizable) before we can consider the design of a regulatory or tracking control device. As mentioned earlier, FTCSMP can be described by stochastic di
erential equations. The stochastic modelling is needed to capture the uncertainty about the environment in which FTCSMP are operating (measurement noise, disturbances, etc.), the randomly varying structure of FTCSMP due to faults and FDI decisions, and modelling uncertainties of FTCSMP due to inaccurate estimated parameters of the physical process being controlled. Therefore, study of the stability properties of FTCSMP leads to the study of the stability of the solutions to stochastic di
erential equations. Signicant e
orts have been dedicated to study the stochastic stability in the past. Substantial results have been reported in the literature with applications to physical and engineering systems. The concepts of stochastic stability are extensions to the deterministic counterparts in each of the common mode of convergence of probability theory. Since there M.M. Mahmoud, J. Jiang, Y.

are three modes of convergence: convergence in probability, convergence in the mean, and almost sure convergence, there are at lease three times as many denitions for the stochastic stability as there are for the deterministic stability 104]. 3.2

Denitions of Stochastic Stability

In this book, we are concerned with the Lyapunov concept of stability. In simple words, Lyapunov stability criterion is concerned with the deviation of the system state vector from a given solution when the initial conditions are close to the initial conditions of the given solution. To dene stochastic stability one needs to state the concept of Lyapunov stability for deterministic systems. Without loss of generality, the equilibrium solution, x = 0, is considered as the solution whose stability property is being tested. Let xo be the initial state at the initial time to, the solution with initial state xo at time t will be denoted as x(t xo to) 2 Rn. Moreover, unless specied otherwise, the norm is dened as: kxkm =

Xn j xi jm i=1

The following denitions were developed in 104]. De nition 3.1

(Lyapunov stability) The equilibrium solution is said to be stable

if, for a given " > 0, there exists (" to ) such that for kxo k < , it follows that sup kx(t xo to )k < "

(Asymptotic Lyapunov stability) The equilibrium point is said

to be asymptotically stable, if it is stable and if there exists  such that for kxo k < , one has lim kx(t xo to )k = 0

The denitions above can be interpreted geometrically as follows. As illustrated in Figure 3.1, given the circle A2 with radius R2 , then the equilibrium point is stable if

24

CHAPTER 3. STOCHASTIC STABILITY

it is possible to nd another circle A1 with radius R1 such that the trajectory which starts in A1 will never leave A2 regardless how large t becomes. The equilibrium point is asymptotically stable if it is stable and in addition a circle A3 can be found such that all trajectories starting in A3 will eventually tend to the origin x = 0. In the later case, if all trajectories while moving towards x = 0 have exponential envelop then the solution is exponentially stable.

Figure 3.1: Illustration of Lyapunov stability. To extend the above concepts to the stochastic domain, the above denitions are expressed in terms of the three forms of convergence. Moreover, the solution x(t xo to ) is rewritten as x(t xo to w) to emphasize the fact that it is a stochastic process with a random variable w: Based on this, we can state the following stochastic stability concepts: The equilibrium solution is said to be stable in probability, if for a given " > 0,  > 0 there exists ("  to ) such De nition 3.3

The almost sure Lyapunov stability means that the equilibrium solutions are stable almost for all sample systems.

CHAPTER 3. STOCHASTIC STABILITY

An important asymptotic stability concept that has been studied and used for stochastic systems in engineering and applied science is the exponential stability of the mean which is dened as follows 96]: De nition 3.9

The proper concepts of stochastic stability as well as use of descriptive terminology remains to be settled as the subject evolves 107]. For applications to practical systems, we prefer those stability properties which are as close to the deterministic stability as possible. Therefore, we are more interested in almost sure sample stability properties. In stochastic systems, exponential stability in the mean square implies almost sure asymptotic stability 118]. As a result, in this book, we will continue to seek for the conditions that guarantee almost sure asymptotic stability and exponential stability in the mean square. Similar to the deterministic case, the Lyapunov's second (direct) approach is employed to study stability properties of stochastic systems. The Lyapunov function approach has the physical intuition that if the energy of a physical system is always decreasing near an equilibrium point, then that equilibrium point will be stable. 3.3

Conditions for Stochastic Stability

The rst attempt to extend the deterministic Lyapunov function approach to stochastic systems was made by Betram and Sarachick 11] and Kats and Krasovskii 96].

3.3. CONDITIONS FOR STOCHASTIC STABILITY

These two works concerned with the moment stability. Bucy 17] was the rst to realize that stochastic Lyapunov function must have the supermartingale property while studying nonlinear stochastic stability. A systematic treatment was carried out by Kushner 107, 108] and by Khasminskii 99] to study stochastic systems with white noise. Other works include Wonham 188, 189], Khashminskii 98], Kats 95], and Rabotnikov 157]. The Lyapunov function approach for stochastic systems is brie y outlined as follows. (3.1)

Chapter 4 FTCS WITH MARKOVIAN PARAMETERS (FTCSMP) In Chapter 2, it was mentioned that faults may occur randomly at any instant of time, in any form, with various degree of severity, and in any system component. To represent the stochastic behavior of faults and fault-induced changes, a stochastic process, (t), is dened. The decisions of the FDI process are based on statistical tests, and they are not deterministic. A stochastic process, (t), is dened to represent these decisions. Both (t) and (t) are assumed to have Markovian characteristics with nite state spaces S = f1
2
:::
sg and R = f1
2
:::
rg, respectively. The assumption of Markovian behavior for the failure process is practical for physical systems. Typically, a control system is designed assuming that system components are fault-free. However, the system components may undergo certain faults. Fortunately, the occurrence of faults is not frequent instead is rare. For rare events, if we dene a small time interval h, then there is a denite probability that an event will take place and almost zero probability for the occurrence of two or more events in this time interval. Naturally, the behavior of rare events is best described by a Poisson process, which is also a Markov process 175]. An FDI process can be interpreted as a stochastic hypothesis test 168]. This test can be implemented using single sample test, moving window, or sequential test. M.M. Mahmoud, J. Jiang, Y.

4.1. MATHEMATICAL MODELS

For single sample tests, information is collected, processed, and discarded. If the information is corrupted with additive white noise, the FDI process will be memoryless. That is, the future decision of the FDI process is independent of the past decision for the xed state of (t) and (t). Under these conditions, a Markov process can be used to describe the transition behavior of the FDI process 168]. Also, an FDI process can be reasonably represented by a Markov process if the time required by the FDI process to make a decision is su ciently smaller than the time interval between consecutive faults. In some physical systems, the Markovian assumption seems to be strong, however, it may still be satised by a change in the state structure. Hence, no physical system can ever be classied absolutely as either Markovian or non-Markovian 78]. There are several work that have been conducted to study the issue of the convergence of non-Markovian to Markovian processes 79, 171].

4.3. THE UNIQUENESS OF FTCSMP MODEL

4.3

37

The Uniqueness of FTCSMP Model

The model of FTCSMP resembles practical FTCS by dening one Markov process to represent the random failure process and the other Markov process to represent the FDI process. Ideally, the FDI should operate perfectly. That is, at any instant of time the state of the FDI process is the same as the state of the failure process, therefore, both processes can be represented by a single Markov process (similar to the existing results in the literature). However, practical FDI process cannot be expected to provide perfect information on the failure process. Detection delays, false alarms, missed detection, or errors in identication often exist in all FDI processes. Therefore, the existing results for hybrid systems and JLS cannot be directly applied to FTCS.

4.3.1 Errors in detection and identication In reality, the FDI process may provide incorrect decision, which means that the state of the failure process is k 2 S , and the state of the FDI process is i 2 R, and i 6= k. If one tries to deal with this situation using the existing results by assuming the prior knowledge of all error combinations for the failure process and FDI process, then the state of the failure process is implicitly assumed to be directly measurable. This is unrealistic in practical systems. Under this strong hypothetical assumption a controller that stabilizes the system can be designed independent of the errors in detection and identication, which is generally not true. A study for this case was carried out in 125].

4.3.2 Detection delays and false alarms It is even more di cult to represent time-delays and false alarms in FDI by the existing results, these two imperfections are largely related to the characteristics of the residual generation, the method used for residual evaluation, the choice of a decision threshold, and the environmental noise and disturbance. These factors cause

38

CHAPTER 4. FTCS WITH MARKOVIAN PARAMETERS (FTCSMP)

random detection delays and false alarm rates with any possible size. That is, the state space to represent these imperfections can be so large that it is impossible to pre-dene all possible combinations to apply the existing results to deal with practical FTCS. Another factor that limits the usage of the existing results is that there is a conict between sensitivity of the FDI process (to noise) and its alertness (to fault), which create contradictory objectives that cannot be achieved by the existing results. The impact of the detection delays on the stability of FTCSMP was studied in 125]. To summarize, the existing results of hybrid systems and conventional JLS assume that the plant regime is known. If one views these systems as special types of the FTCSs, it implies instantaneous detection and perfect identication of faults, which is not practical from FTCS point of the view. In fact, detection delays, and errors in fault detection and identication have to be considered in FTCSs. In most of the conclusions presented in this book, the results of JLS will be derived as interesting special cases of FTCSs. In the next section, we will study stability properties of FTCSMP, particularly exponential stability in the mean square 104]. It was mentioned that, in stochastic systems, moment stability implies almost sure stability 118], therefore, we will also study almost sure asymptotic stability of FTCSMP.

4.4

Stochastic Stability of FTCSMP

The Markovian assumption has been justied for FTCSMP. Following the techniques used to study stochastic systems, we will use Lyapunov's second (direct) method to seek for conditions for the stability of FTCSMP (4.7). Stochastic Lyapunov function approach is used to derive necessary and sucient conditions for exponential stability in the mean square, while the supermartingale property is employed for almost sure asymptotic stability. Before stating the conditions of exponential stability in the

mean square and almost sure stability of FTCSMP, we will dene some tools and properties that are useful to complete the analysis.

It was shown that f ( ) ( ) ( )g is a joint Markov process. However, only stability properties of ( ) are of prime interest. Therefore, we have to consider this fact when dening stability concepts for FTCSMP. In the following, we will dene almost sure asymptotic stability and exponential stability in the mean square for the FTCSMP (4.7). Conditions for both types of stability were developed in 168].

Chapter STOCHASTIC STABILITY OF FTCSMP .

Introduction

Practical issues that arise in practical control systems add extra complexities when analyzing the behavior of FTCSMP. In this chapter
we will study the stochastic stability of FTCSMP subject to constraints due to the environment and the system to be controlled. Namely
we are concerned with the environmental noises and the existence of multiple faults in the system to be controlled. In Section .
the problem of the inclusion of environmental noises in the dynamical model of the FTCSMP is addressed. Three types of noises are considered state-dependent
control-dependent and purely additive Gaussian white noise. Section . deals with FTCSMP with multiple failure processes. In particular
two independent failure processes with Markovian characteristics are considered one for plant component faults and the other for actuator faults. The analysis is carried out using the Lyapunov function approach. A dynamical FTCSMP model
in each case
will be developed rst. Conditions for the stochastic stability of the FTCSMP will be stated and derived subsequently. The theoretical results will further be illustrated by numerical examples. M.M.

CHAPTER . STOCHASTIC STABILITY OF FTCSMP

Stochastic Stability of FTCSMP in the Presence of Noise

The FTCS can be modelled by stochastic dierential equations and can be viewed as general hybrid systems. The stochastic stability of hybrid systems was studied in    and for JLS in   
  . FTCSMP being another class of hybrid systems was de ned as one type of FTCSs. Sucient conditions for the stability of FTCSMP with detection delays were derived in . These results are unfortunately based on the assumption of certainty of correct fault identi cation. To overcome this limitation two random processes with dierent state spaces were de ned and used to analyze the stochastic stability of FTCSMP in 
. Signi cant results were obtained in 
 without consideration of noise. The FTCSMP model was proposed to better describe practical FTCS where modeling the failure process and the FDI process separately makes the consideration of delays and errors in detecting and isolating the faults much simpler. However practical FTCS are also subject to environmental noises and disturbances which could also aect the behavior of such systems considerably. In this section we will examine the stochastic stability of FTCSMP in the presence of white Gaussian noise. In particular necessary and sucient conditions for the stochastic exponential stability in the mean square are derived. The signi cance of these results is that they are applicable to FTCS without the restrictive assumptions of instantaneous fault detection certainty of correct identi cation or noise-free environment.

Stability of FTCSMP with Multiple Failure Processes

The main objective of FTCS is to maintain the system stability and acceptable degree of performance in the event of malfunctions in sensors actuators plant components or any combination. It has been emphasized that faults are random in nature they may occur at any instant of time with various sizes and in any system component. To represent the random nature of the actuator faults a stochastic process ෈t෉ was dened. ෈t෉ is assumed to have Markovian characteristics with nite state space S = f1
2

sg and transition probabilities as given in . . For the FTCSMP model to better approximate practical control systems faults in other system components have to be considered. However it was mentioned in Chapter that sensor faults can be more eectively dealt with by other means henceforth they are not treated in this book. As a result we are left with possible random faults in plant components which have to be taken into account. Another scenario arises when a FTCSMP is driven by actuators with non-negligible internal dynamics. Unfortunately the model proposed in  considered faults only in actuators and actuators are assumed to have no internal dynamics. In the following analysis two failure processes are considered one for plant components and the other for actuators. The main reason for using two independent failure processes is that it allows the modeling of faults at dierent locations with independent failure characteristics. Furthermore it permits the construction of conditional transition probabilities of the FDI process when there are delays or errors in detection with respect to each failure process individually. Under some special conditions the two failure processes may




CHAPTER . STOCHASTIC STABILITY OF FTCSMP

share a common state space. In this case they may be replaced by an equivalent failure process as will be shown. In the following analysis a stochastic FDI process with Markovian characteristics is dened. The transition probabilities of the FDI process are conditioned on the current states of the two failure processes. In particular a necessary and sucient condition for stochastic exponential stability in the mean square is derived. These results are obtained without the restrictive assumptions of instantaneous fault detection certainty of correct identication limitation to fault in actuators with no internal dynamics or actuator faults only.

t with the nite state space Z f  zg. On the other hand random changes in the actuators are represented by the Markov process  t  and the nondeterministic FDI decisions are represented by the process t . The failure processes

If the plant dynamics undergo a change due to a component fault the system matrix A will change as well. If the actuators are also subject to random variations due to malfunctions then system input matrix B will also change. The FDI process has to consider the combinations of changes in A and B .

The corresponding failure process will also have two states Z = f1 2g. Similarly if the faults in the actuators result in three forms for the input matrix B1 normal B2 and B3 with faults the corresponding failure process will have three states S = f1 2 3g. In this case the FDI process will have six states corresponding to dierent faults encountered in the system i.e. R = f1 2 3 4 5 6g.

Remarks and special cases

Under certain assumptions several special cases can be derived from the above general result. Some of these cases were considered by other researchers in studying the stochastic stability of hybrid systems. Others are new and not available in the literature. These special cases deal with various aspects of FTCS the nature of faulty components the occurrence of faults at dierent locations in the system and the nature of the FDI process.

CHAPTER . STOCHASTIC STABILITY OF FTCSMP

. Chapter Summary In this chapter the stochastic stability of FTCSMP has been analyzed by taking into consideration the eect of environmental noises and the possible multiple failures which may occur in dierent system components. The analysis has been carried out employing the weak innitesimal operator for a quadratic stochastic Lyapunov function. The conventional FTCSMP model with separate Markovian processes to represent random faults and the decisions of the FDI process is used. In Section .
 three types of noise have been considered statedependent control-dependent and state and control independent. The almost sure asymptotic stability and the exponential stability in the mean square have been considered. Specically a testable necessary and su cient condition for the exponential stability in the mean square has been derived. It has been concluded that the closedloop system stability of a FTCSMP may be lost if state or control dependent noises were neglected. Whereas the independent noise do not alter the stability of the FTCSMP even though it eects the variance signicantly. Section . considered the case where the system is subject to random faults in both plant components and actuators. A dynamical model for FTCSMP in such case was developed. It has been shown that the exponential stability in the mean square is su cient for almost sure asymptotic stability. In addition a necessary and su cient condition for exponential stability in the mean square for FTCSMP has been derived. Some existing results were shown to be special cases of this general result. Some of these results included JLS models and systems with dynamic actuators. The above theoretical developments were illustrated by two numerical examples.

the FDI process cannot be expected to provide perfect information on the fault process. Detection delays

the eect of detection delays and errors on the stochastic stability of FTCSMP is studied. A mathematical representation of the detection delays in a FDI process is developed.

To study the eects of errors in fault detection both the failure and the FDI processes are assumed to be available to the controller. It will be shown that the stability of FTCSMP could be lost in the event of long fault detection delays or large detection errors. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the theoretical developments.

Eects of Detection Delays on the Stability of FTCSMP

The eect of fault detection delays on the stochastic stability of FTCSMP is considered rst in this chapter. A work was completed in  to study the stability of FTCS with possible detection delays. Unfortunately the study was made under the assumption that the fault identication is always correct. In the current work the FTCSMP model relaxes such restriction so that one can obtain an important conclusion of the eect of detection delays. In this context a mathematical representation for detection delays associated with the FDI process is constructed. In practice detection delays are random variables which can be modelled by a probability distribution function. In this book two distributions are adopted namely exponential and Gamma distributions. The exponential distribution is chosen because of its unique memory-less property therefore it can be used to represent those memory-less FDI processes such as algorithms employing single sample tests  . On the other hand the Gamma distribution is selected for those FDI processes employing sequential test i.e. tests with data memory. The Gamma distribution is selected because of its ability to approximate several other discrete and continuous distributions. Moreover the Gamma distribution can be considered as a generalization of the exponential distribution . In particular the sum of independent exponential random delays leads to a Gamma distribution .

Eects of Detection Errors on the Stability of FTCSMP

AFTCS rely on FDI schemes to identify the fault-induced changes and to recongure the control law accordingly. The fact that an important part of the FDI algorithm is a hypothesis test necessitates the existence of error probabilities associated with its

decisions  . Clearly FDI algorithm may provide incorrect decisions about the actual faults in the system. To study the e ect of errors in detection and identication on the stability of FTCSMP a control law is designed using the dynamic programming principle. The controller is assumed to have access to the states of both the FDI algorithm and the failure process. In this section of the book an analytical approach is used to analyze the behavior of FTCSMP in the presence of incorrect FDI decisions.

.. A new FTCSMP model To study the e ect of errors in fault detection on the stochastic stability of the linear FTCSMP .  a new design methodology is proposed. In this methodology it is assumed that both the actual states of the failure process and the decisions of the FDI process are available. That is the control gain is calculated based on the knowledge of the both processes. However it is important to emphasize that the control law in FTCSMP is recongured only upon the decisions of the FDI process and the assumption of fault process availability is only to study analytically the e ect of errors in detection.

designed. The designed controller allows the study of detection delays and errors. The results revealed that large delays and errors in fault detection may lead to a complete loss of the stochastic stability of FTCSMP. The ndings conrm that the integration of FDI algorithms and controller reconguration mechanisms should take into account of the real-time and stochastic aspects of these two parts. This is to say that the design of an integrated AFTCS is a problem which needs further investigation. Theoretical results were veried by several numerical examples.

Chapter FTCSMP WITH ACTUATOR SATURATION AND PARAMETER UNCERTAINTIES .

Introduction

In this chapter the behavior of FTCSMP subject to some physical limitations is studied. The rst problem to be addressed is the case where the system to be controlled is driven by actuators with saturation. The second issue is associated with imprecisely estimated parameters in FDI process. In Section . actuator with non-linear characteristics are considered they operate linearly within their certain limits and saturate to xed levels if the limits are exceeded. In practice estimation techniques employed by FDI algorithms can only provide system parameters with some inaccuracies. As a result the model of the system to be controlled will include parameter uncertainties. Section . is dedicated to study exponential stabilization of FTCSMP with time-varying unknown-but-bounded parameter uncertainties. In particular an algorithm that provides a necessary and sucient condition for exponential stabilization in the mean square is derived. The stabilizing controller is calculated based on the solutions of Riccati-like matrix equations. Several interesting special cases are derived from the general result. M.M. Mahmoud, J. Jiang, Y.

CHAPTER . FTCSMP WITH ACTUATOR SATURATION AND PARAMETER UNCERTAINTIES

Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the theoretical developments.

. Stability of FTCSMP Driven by Actuators with Saturation Recently some investigations have been conducted to characterize the behavior of practical FTCSMP. The stochastic stability of FTCSMP was studied in   the e ect of detection delays and false alarms was considered in 

. Stochastic stability with multiple faults was reported in   conditions for stability of FTCSMP subject to environmental noises was developed in   and with parameter uncertainties in  . A vital problem which often arises in practical control systems is actuator saturation. A control valve is a good example of actuator with saturation. A valve has a range of operation limited by being fully open and fully closed. Unfortunately actuator saturation is usually unavoidable. If such behavior is not taken into account in the control system design an integral wind-up may be induced which could lead to a large overshoot in system response a limit cycle or an unstable closed-loop system . The consequences of actuator saturation are more severe when the system encounters sudden changes such as the occurrence of a fault. Special e ort has been devoted to solve the problem of feedback control with nonlinear saturating actuators for deterministic systems. The stability analysis of a continuous system with saturating actuators has been carried out for SISO systems employing the Popov s criteria 
. The tracking problem under similar conditions was considered in 
. The problem was treated in time domain in   . The combined problem of actuator saturation with state-delays was reported in   and with parameter uncertainties in  . Despite of its practical importance to the best of our knowledge the problem of nonlinear saturation for FTCSMP has not been addressed. A FTCSMP model




.. STABILITY OF FTCSMP DRIVEN BY ACTUATORS WITH SATURATION

subject to random faults and saturation in actuators will be developed. In particular this work denes and derives sucient conditions for the exponential stability in the mean square of FTCSMP with potentially saturated actuators. The derivations are completed employing Lyapunovs second method. Sucient conditions involve the solution of Riccati-like matrix equations. Stochastic stability of JLS driven by potentially saturated actuators can be established as an interesting special case of this general result. The results are compared with those of FTCSMP with linear non saturating actuators.

The stochastic stability of the FTCSSA with actuator fault is to be investigated. To illustrate the theoretical results developed in this chapter this example considers several dierent scenarios.

CASE
Actuator saturation and stability of FTCSMP If the conditions in Theorem .
are satised the FTCSSA is exponentially stable in the mean square otherwise the stability cannot be determined. Three scenarios are considered FTCSSA with actuator saturation in the sector  FTCSSA with actuator saturation in the sector a and FTCSMP without actuator saturation. Positive-denite solutions of Riccati-like matrix equations and associated constants  for the three scenarios are summarized in Table . and .
 respectively.

. Stabilization of FTCSMP with Parameter Uncertainties To achieve a satisfactory performance in fault tolerant control an FDI algorithm should be able to provide the recon guration mechanism with the most accurate

.. STABILIZATION OF FTCSMP WITH PARAMETER UNCERTAINTIES




and up-to-date information after the occurrence of a fault. Since the FDI algorithm usually relies on statistical tests to detect and identify faults it takes time to make a reliable decision. In practice an FDI algorithm is not able to provide exact post-fault system information instantaneously 
. Such an inaccuracy can be interpreted as uncertainties in system parameters. As a result the controller designed may lead to system performance degradation or even loss of closed-loop stability. This issue provides enough motivation to develop an FTCSMP with certain degree of robustness to the model parameter uncertainties in the system to be controlled. The robust control problem has attracted a considerable amount of interest in the last twenty years. The matching condition which provides su cient conditions for the stabilization of uncertain systems was employed by several authors  

. A quadratic upper bound for the Lyapunov derivative was de ned and used to stabilize uncertain systems    . The results have been extended to H1 control in    time-varying systems in   and time-delay systems with normbounded uncertainties in  . For hybrid systems with uncertainties substantial results were developed recently in several work. In 

 a robust state feedback controller for JLS in the presence of structured uncertainties was designed. Discretetime uncertain JLS was studied in  . Robust stability of continuous-time JLS with structured and unstructured uncertainties has been considered in  . On the other hand the stability of FTCSMP with parameter uncertainties has been considered in 
. However this current study concerns with the derivation of stability conditions for a given state feedback control law. Three forms of uncertainty were considered norm bounded linear combination and value bounded. The results revealed that the stochastic stability of FTCSMP may be lost in the presence of large uncertainty. Unfortunately the investigation of the stabilization of FTCSs with given bounded parameter uncertainties has not been carried out in the literature. In the following the phrase admissible parameter is used to denote parameter




CHAPTER . FTCSMP WITH ACTUATOR SATURATION AND PARAMETER UNCERTAINTIES

uncertainties which satisfy the boundness conditions in Section ..
. The phrase uncertain FTCSMP  will be used to denote the FTCSMP with admissible parameter uncertainties in the system to be controlled and certain FTCSMP denotes the FTCSMP without such parameter uncertainties. In this chapter a FTCSMP designed to tolerate faults in plant components is considered. Because of the inaccuracies in estimated parameters the system to be controlled contains parameter uncertainties which are assumed to be time-varying unknown-but-bounded. The norm bounded uncertainty form is used and the Lyapunov s second method is employed to study the exponential stability in the mean square of such systems. Consequently an algorithm to test exponential stabilization of the uncertain FTCSMP is proposed. The test involves the solution of coupled Riccati-like algebraic equations. The main result is that the convergence of the proposed algorithm provides a necessary and sucient condition for exponential stabilization in the mean square of uncertain FTCSMP. When the algorithm converges a stabilizing controller can be obtained. Several interesting results are shown to be the special cases of the general result presented.

Note that the uncertain FTCSMP .  is modelled such that the system matrix A is subject to changes due to random faults in plant components. These changes may take place according to the transition rates of the failure process t
. At the same time  uncertainties in parameters are a function of the FDI process  t
 which has its own transition rates. This model emphasizes the practical aspect of AFTCS where the failure and FDI processes have separable characteristics.

.. CHAPTER SUMMARY




bility of other dynamical systems such as JLS has been established as an interesting special case of this work. Section . considered the eect of parameter uncertainties on the behavior of FTCSMP. A comprehensive study has been completed to characterize the exponential stabilization of the FTCSMP with parameter uncertainties. Parameter uncertainties are assumed to be time-varying unknown-but-bounded. A norm bounded uncertainty form was assumed an upper bound has been used and a stabilization algorithm has been constructed. The algorithm provides the necessary and sucient condition for exponential stabilization in the mean square of the uncertain FTCSMP. It has been concluded that the stability of the certain FTCSMP is necessary for the stability of the uncertain FTCSMP. The conditions involve the solution of Riccati-like matrix equations. JLS and FTCS without parameter uncertainties have been shown to be special cases from this result.

Chapter SYNTHESIS OF FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL LAWS .

Introduction

The FTCSMP can be modelled by stochastic di erential equations and can be viewed as a general hybrid system. The research in this area can be broadly classied into two categories The rst concerns with deriving conditions for the existence of controllers. The second deals with properties of FTCSMP such as stability controllability and observability. The major portion of the book has been focused on studying system properties in particular the stochastic stability. The exponential stability in the mean square was studied in  . Stochastic stability of FTCSMP in noisy environment was considered in   for multiple failure process in   and with parameter uncertainties in  . In this chapter a state feedback controller for FTCSMP will be designed in both noise-free and noisy environments. The matrix maximum principle  is used to minimize an equivalent deterministic cost function. Firstly a fault tolerant control law is designed in noise-free environment. Three scenarios have been considered. The rst scenario assumes that both the failure and the FDI processes are accessible for the controller. In the second scenario the controller is recongured based on the decisions of the FDI algorithm only and does not need accessible failure process. The case where the FDI process itself is not M.M.

.. INTRODUCTION




able to provide any decision on time due to excessive computational delays is the third scenario. In these scenarios control laws are developed to reduce the risk of losing system stability. A computational algorithm is proposed to calculate the corresponding control law gains. Secondly the chapter also investigates the synthesis of control laws in noisy environment. To be consistent with the model of FTCSMP with noise dened in Chapter  three types of noise are considered state-dependent control-dependent and purely additive Gaussian noise. In particular conditions for the existence of a control law in the nite time horizon are derived. The limiting behaviors of the cost function the Riccati-like and the covariance-like di erential equations have been studied. The conditions that guarantee the niteness of the cost function and the existence of steady-state solutions for both Riccati-like and covariance-like di erential equations are stated and veried. Similar to the noise-free case a computational algorithm is proposed. It is shown that under certain conditions the algorithm converges to constant control gains. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples. It has been emphasized that the optimization approach has often been used to achieve a systematic synthesis for fault tolerant control law  . As a matter of fact optimality is not the essential concern in AFTCS. This fact is consistent with the major characteristics of AFTCS dened in Chapter  for which AFTCS should accept degraded performance in the presence of system faults the main objective of AFTCS is to maintain system stability with graceful performance degradation. Furthermore it is pointed out that the optimality collapses in the event of imperfect FDI performance   similar results have been obtained in Chapter . In this chapter and without loss of generality the optimization problem will provide optimal controllers only if system stochastic parameters are known a priori and under the perfect FDI performance. Otherwise the optimization problem is merely a method




CHAPTER . SYNTHESIS OF FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL LAWS

to synthesize a fault tolerant control law.

. Design Approaches to Fault Tolerant Control Laws In this section a fault tolerant control law will be synthesized for FTCSMP. Three scenarios will be considered. The rst reects the nature of the FTCSMP which uses two separate processes to represent the random faults and the decisions of the FDI process. Unfortunately the resulting controller is not realizable in practice. In the second scenario the controller is recongured based on the results of the FDI process and does not need to have access to the failure process. Therefore this scenario is closer to practical FTCSMP. In some situations the FDI process is not able to make any decision. This situation may occur due to a fault in the data acquisition hardware or the excessive amount of time required for the statistical tests to converge to a decision. This is the third scenario where a control law will be developed to reduce the risk of losing stability. To design a control law for the second and the third scenarios the probability distributions for the failure and the FDI processes are used. Depending on the complexity of the system and the assumed distribution functions the probabilities are determined either analytically using stochastic modeling or numerically using Monte-Carlo simulations. A control law is designed in both the nite and the innite time horizon framework. Necessary conditions which guarantee the existence of such controllers are derived and veried.

Both failure and FDI processes are accessible

The model of FTCSMP involves two separate processes
t to represent random faults in the system and t to represent decisions of the FDI process. Therefore a control law for the FTCSMP can naturally lead to a controller as a function of both

Note that for the non-singular Xki the optimal control gain is uniquely determined by the solutions of the Riccati-like di erential equations Pki t . In other words the Riccati-like and the covariance-like di erential equations are not coupled through Kki . Therefore this case is not a boundary value problem. Similar result was obtained in Section . using the principle of dynamic programming. ෈ ෉

Scenario
Only the decision from the FDI process is accessible This is the second scenario where only the decision from the FDI is available for control recon guration. It has been illustrated in the previous chapter that errors in fault detection and identi cation may lead to a degraded system performance or even complete loss of the system stability 
. To reduce the risk of losing system stability the fault probability distribution for the actuator has to be considered. Let the actuator failure process  t have a Markovian transition probability de ned in . and a probability distribution as ෈ ෉

The Riccati-like matrix equations are coupled with the covariance-like dierential equations through the gain matrices i in a non-linear way. This case requires the solution of a boundary value problem to obtain the optimal control gain matrices. Fortunately these calculations can be done o-line and only controller selection is completed on-line. K

Scenario
Neither the failure nor the FDI processes are accessible There are cases where the decision of the FDI process is not available in time. One possible situation arises due to large amount of time required by the FDI algorithm to arrive at a decision. This issue was emphasized by several works in the area of FTCS  
   . Another possible case is malfunctions to the data acquisition hardware from which the FDI algorithm acquires data. To synthesize a control law the actuator failure process
is assumed to have the probability distribution in

Similar to the previous theorems the three optimality conditions provide the covariance-like Riccati-like and the gain equations respectively. Theorem . is similar to Theorem . in the sense that to obtain an optimal control law a boundary value problem must be solved. The couplings between the Riccati-like and the covariance-like dierential equations are non-linear. The nonlinearity will result in increased computation time. Fortunately gain calculations can be carried out o-line.

.. Control laws on innite time horizons As tf approaches in nity the behavior of the optimization problem needs to be carefully examined. The cost function itself may become in nite therefore the solution may not exist. The limiting behavior for the solutions of the dierential equations is not well de ned. In this section these di culties will be examined with and the

conditions for which an optimal control law exists for the innite time horizon are derived. Since the three scenarios considered in the last section have a unied form of solution the development of this section is not restricted to any particular scenario.

the cost function must be nite for some control and associated state trajectories. Under certain conditions this niteness can be guaranteed through the following lemma. t

.. A FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL LAW IN NOISY ENVIRONMENT

. A Fault Tolerant Control Law in Noisy Environment In this section conditions for the existence of a control law in nite time horizon will be derived for FTCSMP in the presence of noise. The optimization problem is solved using the matrix maximum principle applied to an equivalent deterministic cost function. The limiting behaviors of the cost function Riccati-like and covariance-like dierential equations are then studied. Conditions under which the cost function is nite and the steady-state solutions exist for both Riccati-like and covariancelike dierential equations are derived. The calculation of the control law requires the solution of a set of non-linear coupled dierential equations in the form of a boundary value problem. Therefore an algorithm is proposed to design a controller iteratively.

The proof can be completed by satisfying the optimality conditions of the matrix maximum principle technique  similar to those in Section ... Note that to solve the optimization problem and to nd a control law a boundary value problem has to be solved. This boundary value problem is more complex when compared with the case of noise-free environment in Section . . The increased non-linearity arises because of the control-dependent noise term  ki

.. A control law on innite time horizon In this section the limiting behaviors of the cost function and the covariance-like dierential equations in the innite time horizon are studied. In Section . it was mentioned that the limiting behavior is not well treated for hybrid systems in general and for FTCSMP in particular. The results revealed that a boundary value problem has to be solved. Therefore without loss of generality to  tf for the equations to be solved forward in time while to

Computational algorithm This unied computational algorithm can be used to synthesize an optimal control law. The convergence of the algorithm depends largely on the limiting behavior of the solutions of the Riccati-like and covariance-like as t
 Therefore the conditions derived and stated in previous sections to guarantee the niteness of the cost function and the existence of steady-state solutions for both the Riccati-like and covariance-like dierential equations must be taken into consideration.  Choose an initial guess for the control gain matrices Kio The chosen gain matrices should guarantee both the deterministic and the stochastic stability for the system.

the controller is recongured based on the decisions of the FDI process only and does not need direct access to the failure process. In practice there are situations where the FDI process itself may not be able to provide any decision. Although these situations are rare they may lead to a complete loss of system stability if not taken care of properly. For these cases the third scenario has been considered. The lack of information from either the failure process or the FDI process has been replaced by the probability distribution for that process. The more realistic case for which the FTCSMP is operating in noisy environment has been considered as well. The FTCSMP was subjected to three types of noises state-dependent control-dependent and purely additive Gaussian noises. For both environments the design of a fault tolerant controller has been completed using an equivalent deterministic cost function with the matrix maximum principle. In particular conditions for the existence of a control law for nite time horizon have been derived. The limiting behavior of the cost function the Riccati-like and the covariance-like dierential equations has been studied. Conditions that guarantee the niteness of the cost function the existence of steady-state solutions for both the Riccati-like and covariance-like dierential equations have been stated and veried.

.. CHAPTER SUMMARY




A computational algorithm has been proposed. The theoretical results have been veried by numerical examples.

Chapter 9 EPILOGUE This book considered a number of important aspects for the analysis and synthesis of fault tolerant control systems (FTCSs). A FTCS is a collection of techniques which provide a systematic approach to maintain system stability and acceptable performance not only during normal system operation, but also in the presence of system component malfunctions. Based on the available resources of system redundancy, the design approaches of FTCSs can be classied into: passive and active. It was the objective of this book to analyze the stochastic behavior of active FTCSs. General guidelines have been provided in the development process to make the approach more applicable to practical systems. As a general conclusion, a number of innovative ideas have been developed, yet they need to be tested in industrial applications. This chapter summarizes the major accomplishments of the work and provides some suggestions for future investigations.

9.1 Summary The following conclusions can be drawn from this book: Chapters 1 and 2 present a comprehensive overview and literature survey of FTCSs. Chapter 1 denes FTCSs, states basic concepts, classies the design approaches, details the literature survey and recent developments in the area of FTCSs. In Chapter 2, a prime focus was given to the major elements in an AFTCS, namely: M.M. Mahmoud, J. Jiang, Y.

FDI algorithms and control reconguration mechanisms (CRM). For the seek of completeness, classication and modelling of faults in dynamic systems was also discussed. Chapter 3 is an important introduction to the stability concepts of general stochastic dynamic systems. The extension of deterministic stability in the three modes of convergence, dened in probability theory, is outlined and several stochastic concepts have been reviewed. The chapter justied why the Lyapunov second method is used in this book to study the behavior of FTCSMP. Other stochastic tools and properties are stated as well. FTCSMP were dened in Chapter 4. The model of the dynamical system to be controlled, the failure and the FDI processes are dened. An analytical approach to calculate the conditional transition rates of the FDI process was outlined. The chapter concludes by justifying the uniqueness of the proposed FTCSMP representation. Conditions for the stability of the sample solutions of the FTCSMP are dened and stated, with particular interest in exponential stability in the mean square and almost sure asymptotic stability. Important developments to characterize the behavior of FTCSMP in practical environments have been completed in Chapter 5. In particular, the stochastic stability of FTCSMP has been analyzed taking the following into consideration: The e ect of environmental noises in practical control systems and the presence of multiple failures in di erent system components. In Section 5.2, three types of noise have been introduced: state-dependent, control-dependent and independent noise. A testable necessary and sucient condition for the exponential stability in the mean square has been derived. It has been illustrated that the closed-loop system stability of the FTCSMP could be lost if the state and control dependent noises are not considered. Whereas, the independent noise, under the assumption of perfect FDI performance, do not a ect the stability of the FTCSMP. Section 5.3 considered the case where the

system is subject to random faults in plant components and actuators. A necessary and sucient condition for the exponential stability in the mean square for FTCSMP has been derived. Some existing results were shown to be special cases of this general result. In Chapter 6, practical issues related to the imperfect FDI performance on the stochastic stability of the FTCSMP have been studied. A controller which takes into account of detection errors and delays has been designed. The results revealed that long detection delays and large detection errors may lead to a complete loss of the stochastic stability of the FTCSMP. The case where the FTCSMP is driven by actuators with potential saturation has been addressed in Chapter 7. Sucient conditions for the exponential stability in the mean square have been derived. An algorithm to examine the stability of the FTCSMP has been proposed. Stability conditions for JLS and other hybrid systems has been established as interesting special cases of this work. Furthermore, the chapter considered the eect of inaccurately estimated parameters on the stability of FTCSMP . Inaccuracies in estimated parameters are viewed as uncertainties, which are assumed to be time-varying unknown-but-bounded. A stabilization algorithm, with norm bounded uncertainty measure has been proposed. The algorithm provides the necessary and sucient condition for exponential stabilization in the mean square of the uncertain FTCSMP. Several existing results have been shown to be special cases from this result. The results further con rm that the FDI algorithm and the controller recon guration mechanism must be designed taking into account of practical limitations. In Chapter 8, a fault tolerant control law has been synthesized for the FTCSMP in noise-free and noisy environments. Under the noise-free condition, three scenarios have been considered: the rst assumes that the information on both the failure process and the FDI process is available for control recon guration, the second relies

only on the information from the FDI process, and the third deals with the most severe cases where the information from the FDI process itself is not available. To move one step closer to practical control systems, a control law in noisy environment has been considered as well. In both cases, the design of a fault tolerant controller has been completed using an equivalent deterministic cost function and applying the matrix maximum principle. In particular, conditions for the existence of a fault tolerant control law have been derived. A computational algorithm has been constructed. The theoretical results have been illustrated by numerical examples.
