Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant Control - Blanke, Mogens

. .

Résumé :
Fault-tolerant control aims at a graceful degradation of the behaviour of automated systems in case of faults. It satisfies the industrial demand for enhanced availability and safety, in contrast to traditional reactions to faults that bring about sudden shutdowns and loss of availability. The book presents effective model-based analysis and design methods for fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control. Architectural and structural models are used to analyse the propagation of the fault throught the process, to test the fault detectability and to find the redundancies in the process that can be used to ensure fault tolerance. Design methods for diagnostic systems and fault-tolerant controllers are presented for processes that are described by analytical models, by discrete-event models or that can be dealt with as quantised systems. Five case studies on pilot processes show the applicability of the presented methods. The theoretical results are illustrated by two running examples used throughout the book. The second edition includes new material about reconfigurable control, diagnosis of nonlinear systems, and remote diagnosis. The application examples are extended by a steering-by-wire system and the air path of a diesel engine, both of which include experimental results. The bibliographical notes at the end of all chapters have been up-dated. The chapters end with exercises to be used in lectures.

Professor Blanke is Technical Editor for Fault-Tolerant Systems for IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems and he is Associate Editor for Control Engineering Practice. Michel Kinnaert is professor in the Department of Control Engineering and System Analysis at the Universit? Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium). He has held a visiting professor position at the LAGEP at the Universit? Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and a postdoctoral position at the University of Newcastle (Australia). His research interests include fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control for linear and nonlinear systems with applications in the process industry, in mechatronics and in wind farms. Professor Kinnaert has been the chairman of the IFAC Technical Committee SAFEPROCESS. Jan Lunze is professor of automatic control and head of the Institute of Automation and Computer Control at the Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum (Germany). His research interests include fault diagnosis and reconfigurable control of discrete-event and hybrid systems, control theory with applications in the automotive and process industries, and networked control systems, where he has been the coordinator of a priority program of the German Research Foundation. He is author of numerous research papers and of monographs and textbooks on control theory, discrete-event systems and artificial intelligence with applications to dynamical systems. Marcel Staroswiecki is Honorary Professor of automatic control at the Universit? des Sciences et Technologies de Lille (France). He is the former head of the Laboratoire d'Automatique et d'Informatique Industrielle de Lille (LAIL-CNRS) and is currently with the Laboratoire SATIE-CNRS at Ecole Normale Sup?rieure de Cachan. Professor Staroswiecki and his group have been working on fault detection, isolation and recovery algorithms since 1986. His research addresses model, signal and data-based approaches to the supervision of complex and embedded systems with emphasis on structural analysis, intelligent instruments and components, and applications in the process industry and to transportation systems....
