This paper presents a systematic and straightforward fault estimation approach for process fault detection. isolation and accommodation. The approach includes the design of a reduced-order observer and an algebraic-fault estimator. The observer is designed for an unknown input and fault-free system, which is obtained by coordinate transformations of original systems with unknown inputs and faults. The observer information is devoted to- the fault estimation for fault detection and isolation. The fault estimates can be used to form an additional control input to accommodate the fault. The suggested scheme is verified through simulation studies performed on the control of a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft in the vertical plane.

This paper deals with the estimation of unknown actuator faults for linear dynamic systems with sensor noise. The presented method based on the integral observer permits to achieve good convergence and exact estimation of unknown faults. The validity of proposed method is established by using the simulation results which compare to the existing methods.

This paper deals with an estimation method far sideslip angle by using an unknown input observation technique in 4WS passenger car systems. Firstly, a 4WS vehicle model with 3DOP is derived under the constant velocity and same tyre's properties. The induced model is transformed into the linear state space model with considering the external disturbance. Secondly, an unknown input observer is introduced and its property which estimating the states of system without any disturbance information is shown. Lastly, the estimated sideslip angle of the 4WS system is verified through numerical simulation.

In this paper, and estimation method for estimating the states of underwater vehicle systems with external unknown disturbance is proposed. First, the dynamics of underwater vehicle are induced by Taylor series expansion in the vertical plane and horizontal plane, respectively. For constructing the system model, the external efforts, i.e., the sea surface disturbances, the current, wave and etc., are regarded as external unknown disturbances. Thus the disturbance is added as external input into state-space form of underwater vehicle system. To estimate the state of systems with unknown disturbance, a disturbance observer which does not effected the external unknown input is proposed, and the existence condition for the observer is given. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed disturbance observer for robust control of underwater vehicle systems is verified by using numerical simulation.

In this paper, a parallel bank of multiple adaptive unknown input observers approach suggested by D.Wang is applied to detect a single fault of control surface actuator and to estimate the actuator position of lock-in-place fault using a small fixed-wing UAV model with eight control surfaces. This paper shows that not only the fault diagnosis algorithm detects and estimates each faults of lock-in-place in 1 second by simulation but also it may be unavailable to isolate among two same-shaped rudders.

Two GOS (Generalized Observer Scheme) type Fault Detection Isolation Schemes (FDIS), employing the bank of unknown input functional observers (UIFO) as a residual generator, are proposed to make the practical use of the multiple observer based FDIS. The one is IFD (Instrument Fault Detection) scheme and the other is PFD (Process Fault Detection) scheme. A design method of UIFO is suggested for robust residual generation and reducing the size of the observer bank. Several design objectives that can be achieved by the FDI schemes and the design methods to meet the objectives are described. An IFD system is constructed for the Boeing 929 Jetfoil boat system to show the effectiveness of the propositions. Major contributions of this paper are two folds. Firstly, the proposed UIFO approaches considerably reduce the size of residual generator in the GOS type FDI systems. Secondly, the FDI schemes, in addition to the basic functions of the conventional observer-based FDI schemes, can reconstruct the failed signal or give the estimates of fault magnitude that can be used for compensating fault effects. The schemes are directly applicable to the design of a fault tolerant control systems.

One of the important challenges facing control engineers in developing automated machineryis to be able to monitor the machines using remote sensors. Observrs are often used to reconstruct the machine variables of interest. However, conventional observers are unalbe to observe the machine variables when the machine models, upon which the observers are based, have inputs that cannot be measured. Since this is often the case, the authors previsously developed a steady-state optimal state and input observer for time-invariant systems [1], this paper extends that work to time-variant systems. A recursive observer, similar to a Kalman-Bucy filter, is developed . This optimal observer minimizes the trace of the error variance for discrete , linear , time-variant, stochastic systems with unknown inputs.

전형적인 상태 관측기에서는, 외란이 시스템 입력에 가해지는 경우 시스템의 상태 추정이 불가능하다. 이러한 상태관측 문제에 대한 한가지 대책법으로서 비례적분(PI) 관측기가 제안되어 스텝외란의 소거에 대한 유효성이 밝혀져 로바스트 제어기 설계에 대한 응용으로서 널리 연구가 행해져 왔다. 그러나, 미지입력에 대한 PE 관측기 설계는 여전히 문제로 남아 있다. 이 논문에서는 미지입력 PI 관측기의 설계법을 제안하고, 이에 대한 응용으로서 완전 LTR을 실현할 수 있는 결과를 보인다. 먼저, 입력의 정보없이 시스템의 상태를 추정할 수 있는 미지입력 PI 관측기의 충분조건을 제안하고, PE 관측기의 설계에 요구되는 필요충분조건을 보인다. 이러한 조건은 완전 LTR의 실현을 위한 직접적인 요구조건임을 보인다. 따라서, 완전 LTR을 달성하면서 지정한 관측기의 극을 지니는 PI 관측기 설계가 가능하다.

In this paper, a novel motor control method is proposed to improve the performance of sensorless drive of BLDC motors. The unknown input (back-EMF) is modelled as the additional state of system in this paper. Taking into account the disturbance adopted by the back-EMF, the observer can be obtained by the augmented system equation. An algorithm to detect the back-EMF of the BLDC motor using the state observer is constructed. As a result, the novel sensorless drive of BLDC motors that can strictly estimate rotor position and speed is proposed.

A technique of indirect adaptive control based on certainty equivalence for input output linearization of nonlinear system is proven convergent by Teel. It incorporates an adaptive observer for identifying unknown system states and parameters and input-output linearizing controller for robust tracking. In this study, we show that robustness and tracking performances are improved considerably by using its normalized form of Teel's observer-based identifier. Simple examples are presented as illustration.
