Reconfigurable control system design using eigenstructure assignment: static, dynamic and robust approaches

New approaches to design static and dynamical reconfigurable control systems are proposed based on the eigenstructure assignment techniques. The methods can recover the nominal closed-loop performance after a fault occurrence in the system, in the state and output feedback designs. These methods are capable of dealing with order-reduction problems that may occur in an after-fault system. The problem of robust reconfigurable controller design, which makes the after-fault closed-loop system insensitive as much as possible, to the parameter uncertainties of the after-fault model is considered. Steady state response of the after-fault system under the unit step input is recovered by the means of a reconfigurable feed-forward compensator. The methods guarantee the stability of the reconfigured closed-loop system in the case of output feedback. For the faulty situations, in which the order of the pre-fault and after-fault closed-loop systems are the same, sufficient regional pole assignment conditions for the reconfigured system are derived. Finally, simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods for two aircraft models.
