Hybrid Active-Passive Robust Fault-Tolerant Control of Event-Triggered Nonlinear NCS

Abstract: In this paper, the authors aimed to analyze uncertain nonlinear networked control systems (NCS) under discrete eventtriggered communication scheme (DETCS), in which an integrated design methodology between robust fault detection observer and active fault-tolerant controller is proposed. Moreover, the problem of hybrid active–passive robust fault-tolerant control, which integrated passive fault-tolerant control, fault detection, and controller reconstruction, is researched. In consideration of the impact of uncertainties and network-induced delay on system performance, a new class of uncertain nonlinear NCS fault model is established based on T-S fuzzy model. By employing Lyapunov stability theory, H∞ control theory, and linear matrix inequality method, the fault detection observer and hybrid fault-tolerant controller are both appropriately designed. In addition, the sufficient condition that guaranteed the asymptotically robust stability of nonlinear NCS against any actuator failures is deduced. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
