Pseudo-partial-derivative information-driven adaptive fault-tolerant tracking control for discrete-time systems

Abstract

The fault-tolerant tracking control problem is studied for the discrete-time systems with actuator faults. To lessen adverse impacts of actuator fault, a PPD information-driven fault estimation algorithm is established to adaptively estimate actuator fault information online, which avoids the additional construction and training process of neural network. With the aid of the adaptive fault compensation, a model-free adaptive fault-tolerant tracking control algorithm is constructed to ensure that the expected output reference trajectory can be tracked by system output. Moreover, only input and output data are employed throughout the design process, system dynamics are not demanded. Ultimately, the availability of developed strategy is proved through a simulation.
