본 논문에서는 BLDC 전동기 구동용 인버터의 한 상에서 개방된 형태의 스위치 고장이 발생하여도 구동 시스템의 제어 성능을 유지하기 위한 고장 허용 시스템이 제안되었다. 고장의 확인 방법은 실제 전류와 기준 전류의 오차를 이용하는 방법과 인버터 하단에 전압센서를 추가하는 방법 등 두 가지 형태가 제안되었다. 시스템의 재구성 방법은 고장이 발생한 상을 양방향 스위치에 의해 직류-링크 중성점과 연결하여 4 스위치 구동의 형태로 구성하였다. 제안한 고장 허용 시스템은 짧은 고장 검출 시간과 시스템 토폴로지의 재구성에 의해 고장 발생 후 제어 성능을 빠르게 회복하여 연속적인 시스템 운영이 가능하다. 제안한 고장 허용 시스템의 우수한 성능은 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다.

This paper presents a systematic design methodology for fault tolerant controller against a fault in actuators and sensors of linear stochastic systems with uncertainties. The scheme is based on fault detection and diagnosis(isolation and estimation) using a bank of robust two-stage Kalman filters, and accommodation of the actuator fault by eigenstructure assignment and immediate compensation of the sensor's faulty measurement. In order to clarify the fault feature in test statistics of residual, noise reduction method is given by multi-scale discrete wavelet transform. The effectiveness of our approach Is shown via simulations for a VTOL(vertical take-off and landing) aircraft subjected to parameter variations, external disturbances, process and sensor noises.

Reverse matrix converters, which can step up voltages, are suitable for applications with source voltages that are lower than load voltages, such as generator systems. Reverse matrix converter topologies are advantageous because they do not require additional components to conventional matrix converters. In this paper, a detection method and a post-fault modulation strategy to operate a converter as close as possible to its desired normal operation under the open-switch fault condition in the rectifier stage are proposed. An open-switch fault in the rectifier stage of a reverse matrix converter causes current distortions and voltage ripples in the system. Therefore, fault-tolerant control for open-switch faults is required to improve the reliability of a system. The proposed strategy determines the appropriate switching stages from among the remaining healthy switches of the converter. This is done based on reference currents or voltages. The performance of the proposed strategy is experimentally verified.

This paper deals with a design of fault tolerant state feedback controllers for continuous time nonlinear time delay systems with actuator failures. The goal is to find an asymptotically stabilizing controller such that the closed loop system achieves the prescribed $H_{\infty}$ performance objective in the actuator fault cases. Based on a sum of squares (SOS) approach, a design method for $H_{\infty}$ fault tolerant controller is presented. In order to demonstrate our design method, a numerical example is provided.

A fault tolerant satellite attitude control scheme with a modified iterative learning law is proposed for dealing with actuator faults. The actuator fault is modeled to reflect the degradation of actuation effectiveness, and the solar array-induced disturbance is considered as an external disturbance. To estimate the magnitudes of the actuator fault and the external disturbance, a modified iterative learning law using only the information associated with the state error is applied. Stability analysis is performed to obtain the gain matrices of the modified iterative learning law using the Lyapunov theorem. The proposed fault tolerant control scheme is applied to the rest-to-rest maneuver of a large satellite system, and numerical simulations are performed to verify the performance of the proposed scheme.

As a means of improving the reliability of a process control system, a FTCS(Fault Tolerant Control System) is designed and applied to the boiler controller of a thermal power plant. The proposed FTCS has capabilities of fault detection and diagnosis as well as back-up control and bumpless switching. A prototype of FTCS is implemented on an IBM PC as an add-on system and it is experimentally verified by using a boiler process simulator together with simplified analog controllers and a switching unit that an one-fold fault is detected in real time and back-up controller takes over the role of the original controller, controlling the faulty loop.

This paper proposes a fault tolerant and high efficiency operation algorithm for a 4 LEG DC/DC converter for a battery energy storage system(BESS) forming a main power source in a standalone DC micro grid. The BESS for the main power supply in the stand-alone DC micro-grid is required to operate at high speed according to fault tolerant control and load by operating at all times. Fault-tolerance control changes the short-circuit fault to an open-circuit fault by using a fuse in case of leg fault in 4 legs, and operates stably through phase shift control. In addition, considering the loss of the power semiconductor, the number of LEG operation is adjusted to operate at high efficiency in the full load region. In this paper, fault tolerant control and high efficiency operation algorithm of DC/DC converter for BESS in standalone DC micro grid is presented and it is proved through simulation and experiment.

A fault tolerant control system, in which a digital back-up controller system is added on the existing analog control system, is developed for enhancing reliability of boiler control system in power plant. The digital back-up controller system(DBCS) has a multi-processor structure with capabilities of fault diagnosis, back-up control, self test, and graphic monitoring. Specifically, switching mechanism composed of expandable modules is designed so that back-up controller takes over any faulty control loops and the number of back-up control loops is determined as that of simultaneous faults. A process simulator that simulates the boiler analog control system is developed for safety test and performance evaluation prior to real plant application. DBCS is installed at the Ulsan thermal power plant, and fault tolerant control performance is assured under the faults that some controller modules are pulled out.

BACnet(Building Automation and Control networks) is a standard data communication protocol designed specifically for building automation and control systems. BACnet provides BACnet/IP Protocol for data communication through the internet. BACnet device transmits BACnet broadcast messages and BACnet/IP messages using conventional IP technologies. Specially, BBMD(BACnet Broadcasting Management Device) is used to deliver BACnet broadcast messages. In this study, we propose a mechanism of fault tolerant BBMD in the BACnet/IP protocol. The Fault Tolerant BBMD mechanism(FTBM) improves the connectivity of BACnet/IP networks by inheriting the operation of BBMD in the networks. The FTBM is implemented with added functions to the original BACnet/IP protocol so that it can be applied together with original BACnet/IP devices. We also prove the FTBM's backward compatibility with original BACnet/IP protocol using experimental analysis.

In this paper, fault tolerant mechanisms are presented for a servo manipulator system designed to operate in a hot cell. A hot cell is a sealed and shielded room to handle radioactive materials, and it is dangerous for people to work in the hot cell. So, remote operations are necessary to handle the radioactive materials in the hot cell. KAERI has developed a servo manipulator system to perform such remote operations. However, since electric components such as servo motors may fail by radiation, fault tolerant mechanisms have to be considered. For fault tolerance of the servo manipulator system, duplication mechanism increasing the reliability of the transport's driving motors and reconfiguration algorithm accommodating the slave's motor failure have been presented. The reconfiguration algorithm recovering the end effector's motion in spite of one motor's failure is based on control allocation redistributing redundant axes. The constrained optimization method and pseudo inverse method have been adopted for control allocation. Simulation examples and real test results have been presented to verify the Proposed methods.
