Operator-based robust nonlinear control and fault detection for a Peltier actuated thermal process

Abstract

a b s t r a c tIn this paper, operator-based robust nonlinear control design scheme and fault detection technique using robust right coprime factorization approach are considered for a Peltier actuated thermal process. The Peltier actuated thermal process is a typical nonlinear control affine system, where the process temperature depends not only on input current, but also on the square of the input current. In addition, the real system is likely to contain a fault signal owing to various factors. As a result, it is difficult to stabilize the control system and to achieve high accurate control performance, and to detect the fault signal to guarantee the engineering safety when a fault occurs. In this paper, for pursuing robust stability and tracking performance of the nonlinear closed-loop control system, a design scheme of operator-based robust tracking control system is proposed by using robust right coprime factorization approach. Then, for the tracking operator control system, a fault detection design technique based on robust right coprime factorization approach is also investigated. Finally, simulation and experimental results are given to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

“…Some uncertain factors, such as the change of condition, the disturbance of parameter, various failures, and other external disturbances, will have an effect on the system modeling. To ensure the accuracy and efficiency of experiment, it is necessary to have a certain experiment environment [10,11].…”

Modeling on the fluid temperature distribution of a spiral heat exchanger

“…The heat exchange process is of importance to many fields such as chemical plants and power generation, waste heat recovery, air-conditioning [1] which attracts more and more researchers' attention and many relevant results have been obtained [1][2][3][4][5]. The heat exchange process is performed between two fluids which are at different temperatures and separated by a solid wall.…”

“…Moreover, in [2] for the nonlinear process of water level and temperature, the realization of operator based on the robust nonlinear control system with nonlinear feedback controllers was considered. In [3] model and operator based on a nonlinear control system design for a spiral heat exchange process was proposed.…”

Optimal tracking control for a peltier refrigeration system based on PSO

“…Especially, robust stability against perturbations can be guaranteed under an inequality condition [1]. The robust stability and tracking performance of the nonlinear affine system with unknown bounded perturbations have been studied by Chen, Deng and so on in [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Robust stability of the nonlinear system under perturbations mainly is considered by Chen [3].…”

“…Then, based on the research result of Chen, some new conditions to ensure robust stability were proposed by Deng [1]. At the same time, Deng also made further research on tracking control of nonlinear feedback systems, and has achieved some satisfactory results [4][5][6]. For example, operator based robust nonlinear feedback control combing with optimal tracking control are discussed in [6].…”
