Abstract:In this paper, we present a methodology for actuator and sensor fault estimation in nonlinear systems. The method consists in augmenting the system dynamics with an approximated ultra-local model (a finite chain of integrators) for the fault vector and constructing a Nonlinear Unknown Input Observer (NUIO) for the augmented dynamics. Then, fault reconstruction is reformulated as a robust state estimation problem in the augmented state (true state plus fault-related state). We provide sufficient conditions that… Show more
