Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to achieve active fault-tolerant control (AFTC) in networked control systems (NCSs) under the presence of packet losses. An essential aspect of this approach is the design of a proportional-integral observer, which accurately estimates the characteristics of actuator faults. Leveraging the observer’s outputs, a compensatory controller is computed to mitigate the impact of actuator faults on the system’s performance. The AFTC problem is formulated using linear matrix inequalities to ensure system stability and fault tolerance. Through a simulation example and a comparative study, the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed study are demonstrated.
