Sampled-data sliding mode observer for robust fault reconstruction: A time-delay approach

Abstract

A sliding mode observer in the presence of sampled output information and its application to robust fault reconstruction is studied. The observer is designed by using the delayed continuous-time representation of the sampled-data system, for which sufficient conditions are given in the form of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the ultimate boundedness of the error dynamics. Though an ideal sliding motion cannot be achieved in the observer when the outputs are sampled, ultimately bounded solutions can be obtained provided the sampling frequency is fast enough. The bound on the solution is proportional to the sampling interval and the magnitude of the switching gain. The proposed observer design is applied to the problem of fault reconstruction under sampled outputs and system uncertainties. It is shown that actuator or sensor faults can be reconstructed reliably from the output error dynamics. An example of observer design for an inverted pendulum system is used to demonstrate the merit of the proposed methodology compared to existing sliding mode observer design approaches.

A Survey of Fault Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant Techniques—Part I: Fault Diagnosis With Model-Based and Signal-Based Approaches

“…Advanced observer techniques such as proportional and integral (PI) observers [66,67], proportional multipleintegral (PMI) observers [68][69][70], adaptive observer [71][72][73], sliding mode observers [74,75], and descriptor observers [76,77] are usually utilized for fault estimation/reconstruction. The essence of the advanced observers is to construct an augmented system by introducing the concerned fault as an additional state and the extended state vector is thereafter estimated, leading to the estimates of the concerned fault signal together with original system states.…”

“…Nevertheless, there are several studies that have considered the effect of sampled information on the STA effectiveness. The works presented by Salgado et al (2010) and Han et al (2014) have used different technical methods to prove how the sampling period affects the convergence quality of the differentiator. Even when the exact convergence cannot be ensured when sampled information is used, there is still the opportunity to recover the derivative of noisy signal with some degree of uncertainty.…”

Integrated fault estimation and fault‐tolerant control for stochastic systems with Brownian motions

“…Before implementing signal compensation, the size and shape of the faults should be available, which can be obtained by using a variety of fault estimation/reconstruction techniques such as augmented system approaches, adaptive observer techniques,() and sliding mode observer methods. () Among the aforementioned fault estimation approaches, the augmented system approach can provide a simultaneous estimate of the system states and the faults concerned, which can thus be utilized for signal compensation–based tolerant control.…”
