The considered system has a time-varying state delay and its matrices are dependent on some parameters that are measurable online. It is assumed that the measured parameters are inexact due to the existence of noise in real situations. The system with inexact measured parameters is converted to an uncertain system. Actuator fault diagnosis is carried out based on fault size estimation. For this purpose, the system is transformed to a polytopic representation and then a polytopic proportional integral unknown input observer (PI-UIO) is designed. The proposed observer provides simultaneous state and actuator fault estimation while attenuating, in the H8H8 sense, the effects of input disturbance, output noise and the uncertainty caused by inexact measured parameters. The design procedure of PI-UIO is formulated as a convex optimisation problem with a set of Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) constraints in the vertices of the parameter domain, guaranteeing robust exponential convergence of the PI-UIO. The efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated with an electrical circuit example modelled as an SDLPV system.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Sensor fault diagnosis of singular delayed LPV systems with inexact parameters: an uncertain system approach

In this paper, sensor fault diagnosis of a singular delayed linear parameter varying (LPV) system is considered. In the considered system, the model matrices are dependent on some parameters which are real-time measurable. The case of inexact parameter measurements is considered which is close to real situations. Fault diagnosis in this system is achieved via fault estimation. For this purpose, an augmented system is created by including sensor faults as additional system states. Then, an unknown input observer (UIO) is designed which estimates both the system states and the faults in the presence of measurement noise, disturbances and uncertainty induced by inexact measured parameters. Error dynamics and the original system constitute an uncertain system due to inconsistencies between real and measured values of the parameters. Then, the robust estimation of the system states and the faults are achieved with H8 performance and formulated with a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The designed UIO is also applicable for fault diagnosis of singular delayed LPV systems with unmeasurable scheduling variables. The efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated with an example.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Simultaneous actuator and sensor fault reconstruction of singular delayed linear parameter varying systems in the presence of unknown time varying delays and inexact parameters

In this article, robust fault diagnosis of a class of singular delayed linear parameter varying systems is considered. The considered system has delayed dynamics with unknown time varying delays and also it is affected by noise, disturbance and faults in both actuators and sensors. Moreover, in addition to the aforementioned unknown inputs and uncertainty, another source of uncertainty related to inexact measures of the scheduling parameters is present in the system. Making use of the descriptor system approach, sensor faults in the system are added as additional states into the original state vector to obtain an augmented system. Then, by designing a suitable proportional double integral unknown input observer (PDIUIO), the states, actuator, and sensor faults are estimated. The uncertainty due to the mismatch between the inexact parameters that schedule the observer and the real parameters that schedule the original system is formulated with an uncertain system approach. In the PDIUIO, the uncertainty induced by unknown inputs (disturbance, noise and actuator, and sensor faults), unknown delays, and inexact parameter measures are attenuated in H8 sense with different weights. The constraints regarding the existence and the robust stability of the designed PDIUIO are formulated using linear matrix inequalities. The efficiency of the proposed method is verified using an application example based on an electrical circuit.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Robust fault detection of singular LPV systems with multiple time–varying delays

In this paper, the robust fault detection problem for LPV singular delayed systems in the presence of disturbances and actuator faults is considered. For both disturbance decoupling and actuator fault detection, an unknown input observer (UIO) is proposed. The aim is to compute a residual signal which has minimum sensitivity to disturbances while having maximum sensitivity to faults. Robustness to unknown inputs is formulated in the sense of the ℋ∞-norm by means of the bounded real lemma (BRL) for LPV delayed systems. In order to formulate fault sensitivity conditions, a reference model which characterizes the ideal residual behavior in a faulty situation is considered. The residual error with respect to this reference model is computed. Then, the maximization of the residual fault effect is converted to minimization of its effect on the residual error and is addressed by using the BRL. The compromise between the unknown input effect and the fault effect on the residual is translated into a multi-objective optimization problem with some LMI constraints. In order to show the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method, a part of the Barcelona sewer system is considered

State and fault estimation in singular delayed LPV systems

In this paper, the state and fault estimation problem of singular delayed LPV systems in the presence of disturbances and actuator faults is considered. The system under consideration has multiple unknown time varying delays. For both state and actuator fault estimation, an Unknown Input Observer (UIO) is proposed. Robustness to unknown inputs and uncertainty induced by unknown delays is formulated by means of the Bounded Real Lemma (BRL) for delayed LPV systems. UIO design procedure with a certain level of unknown input attenuation is formulated using LMIs. Also the best achievable attenuation level is computed in a convex optimization framework with LMI constraints.

UIO design for singular delayed LPV systems with application to actuator fault detection and isolation

In this paper, the unknown input observer (UIO) design for singular delayed linear parameter varying (LPV) systems is considered regarding its application to actuator fault detection and isolation. The design procedure assumes that the LPV system is represented in the polytopic framework. Existence and convergence conditions for the UIO are established. The design procedure is formulated by means of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Actuator fault detection and isolation is based on using the UIO approach for designing a residual generator that is completely decoupled from unknown inputs and exclusively sensitive to faults. Fault isolation is addressed considering two different strategies: dedicated and generalised bank of observers' schemes. The applicability of these two schemes for the fault isolation is discussed. An open flow canal system is considered as a case study to illustrate the performance and usefulness of the proposed fault detection and isolation method in different fault scenarios
