It is derived from a 3-level non differential double-boost PFC including fly-cap cells. The series-connection of the two low-voltage switching-cells is decoupled by a single flying capacitor that provides a direct fault-tolerant capability and a post-failure operation increasing the availability of converter. The monitoring of the voltages across flying capacitors allows a rapid detection and localization either for open circuit failure or short-circuits failure. A PWM （pulse width modulation） phase-disposition type reconfiguration is also used and presented in order to optimize both normal operation and post-fault continuation. The design and the most important features are highlighted thanks to a digital control frame and a mock-up rated to： AC voltage network 115 V-load 400 V-nominal power 4 kW-switching frequency 62 kHz.展开更多

Subsequently, in order to ensure the normal execution of the online learning algorithm, a stability criterion condition is created to obtain an initial admissible tracking policy. Then, the constructed model neural network(NN) is pretrained to recognize the system dynamics and calculate trajectory control. The critic and action NNs are constructed to output the approximate cost function and approximate tracking control,respectively. The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation of the error system is solved online through the action-critic framework. In theoretical analysis, it is proved that all concerned signals are uniformly ultimately bounded according to the Lyapunov principle.The tracking control law can approach the optimal tracking control within a finite approximation error. Finally, two experimental examples are conducted to indicate the effectiveness and superiority of the developed fault-tolerant tracking control scheme.展开更多

Specifically, a dynamic model is established based on one-tank spacecraft, which explicitly takes into account changing Center of Mass(CM). Then, a control scheme is proposed to achieve attitude tracking.Benefiting from explicitly considering the changing CM during the controller design process, the proposed scheme possesses good robustness to parametric uncertainties with less fuel consumption.Moreover, a fault-tolerant control algorithm is proposed to accommodate actuator faults with no need of knowing the actuators' fault information. Lyapunov-based analysis is provided and the closed-loop system stability is rigorously proved. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.展开更多

文摘The problem of trajectory tracking for a class of differentially driven wheeled mobile robots(WMRs)under partial loss of the effectiveness of the actuated wheels is investigated in this paper.Such actuator faults may cause the loss of strong controllability of the WMR,such that the conventional fault-tolerant control strategies unworkable.In this paper,a new mixed-gain adaption scheme is devised,which is adopted to adapt the gain of a decoupling prescribed performance controller to adaptively compensate for the loss of the effectiveness of the actuators.Different from the existing gain adaption technique which depends on both the barrier functions and their partial derivatives,ours involves only the barrier functions.This yields a lower magnitude of the resulting control signals.Our controller accomplishes trajectory tracking of the WMR with the prescribed rate and accuracy even in the faulty case,and the control design relies on neither the information of the WMR dynamics and the actuator faults nor the tools for function approximation,parameter identification,and fault detection or estimation.The comparative simulation results justify the theoretical findings.

文摘Permanent-magnet synchronous machines(PMSMs)are widely used in robotics,rail transportation,and electric vehicles owing to their high power density,high efficiency,and high power factor.However,PMSMs often operate in harsh environments,where critical components such as windings and permanent magnets(PMs)are susceptible to failures.These faults can lead to a significant degradation in performance,posing substantial challenges to the reliable operation of PMSMs.This paper presents a comprehensive review of common fault types in PMSMs,along with their corresponding fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control strategies.The underlying mechanisms of typical faults are systematically analyzed,followed by a detailed comparison of various diagnostic and fault-tolerant control methods to evaluate their respective advantages and limitations.Finally,the review concludes by identifying key research gaps in PMSM fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control,while proposing potential future directions for advancing this field.
文摘Three-phase grid-connected inverters(GCIs)are essential components in distributed generation systems,where the accuracy of current measurement circuits is fundamental for reliable closed-loop operation.Nevertheless,the presence of a DC offset in the measured current can disrupt the regulation of grid currents and significantly degrade system performance.In this work,a fault-tolerant control approach is introduced to counteract the impact of such offset faults through a dedicated current compensation mechanism.The proposed solution is built around two main stages:(i)detecting and isolating DC offset faults that may appear in one or multiple phases of the measured grid currents,and(ii)estimating the fault magnitude and reconstructing the corrected current signal.The offset magnitude is obtained analytically by examining the grid current projected onto the synchronous d-axis at the grid angular frequency,eliminating the need for any additional sensing hardware.Simulation and experimental investigations conducted under several fault scenarios confirm the robustness of the proposed strategy and highlight significant improvements in detection speed and diagnostic accuracy.

文摘This article presents an adaptive fault-tolerant tracking control strategy for unknown affine nonlinear systems subject to actuator faults and external disturbances.To address the hyperparameter initialization challenges inherent in conventional neural network training,an improved self-organizing radial basis function neural network(SRBFNN)with an input-dependent variable structure is developed.Furthermore,a novel selforganizing RBFNN-based observer is introduced to estimate system states across all dimensions.Leveraging the reconstructed states,the proposed adaptive controller effectively compensates for all uncertainties,including estimation errors in the observer,ensuring accurate state tracking with reduced control effort.The uniform ultimate boundedness of all closed-loop signals and tracking errors is rigorously established via Lyapunov stability analysis.Finally,simulations on two different nonlinear systems comprehensively validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control approach.

文摘In this paper, a fault-tolerant-based online critic learning algorithm is developed to solve the optimal tracking control issue for nonaffine nonlinear systems with actuator faults.First, a novel augmented plant is constructed by fusing the system state and the reference trajectory, which aims to transform the optimal fault-tolerant tracking control design with actuator faults into the optimal regulation problem of the conventional nonlinear error system. Subsequently, in order to ensure the normal execution of the online learning algorithm, a stability criterion condition is created to obtain an initial admissible tracking policy. Then, the constructed model neural network(NN) is pretrained to recognize the system dynamics and calculate trajectory control. The critic and action NNs are constructed to output the approximate cost function and approximate tracking control,respectively. The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation of the error system is solved online through the action-critic framework. In theoretical analysis, it is proved that all concerned signals are uniformly ultimately bounded according to the Lyapunov principle.The tracking control law can approach the optimal tracking control within a finite approximation error. Finally, two experimental examples are conducted to indicate the effectiveness and superiority of the developed fault-tolerant tracking control scheme.
文摘Fault tolerance is essential for reliable and sustainable smart city infrastructure.Interconnected IoT systems must function under frequent faults,limited resources,and complex conditions.Existing research covers various fault-tolerant methods.However,current reviews often lack system-level critique and multidimensional analysis.This study provides a structured review of fault tolerance strategies across layered IoT architectures in smart cities.It evaluates fault detection,containment,and recovery techniques using specific metrics.These include fault visibility,propagation depth,containment score,and energy-resilience trade-offs.The analysis uses comparative tables,architecture-aware discussions,and conceptual plots.It investigates the impact of fault tolerance on decision-making in Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition(SCADA)systems,sensor networks,and real-time controllers.Simulation results and logic-based design support the relationships between evaluation metrics.Findings show a common reliance on redundancy and reactive methods.Many techniques fail to address cross-layer propagation,context-aware adaptation,and silent fault impact on user trust.The study combines these overlooked aspects into a system-level framework.This survey identifies performance bottlenecks and supports the design of adaptive,energy-efficient,and transparent IoT systems.The results contribute to bridging technical reliability with public trust,supporting scalable and responsible smart city development.

文摘The aircraft braking system is critical to ensure the safe take-off and landing of the aircraft.However,the braking system is often exposed to high temperatures and strong vibration working environments,which makes the sensor prone to failure.Sensor failure has the potential to compromise aircraft safety.In order to improve the safety of the aircraft braking system,a fault detection and fault-tolerant control(FDFTC)strategy for the aircraft brake pressure sensor is designed.Firstly,a model based on a bidirectional long short-term memory(Bi-LSTM)network is constructed to estimate the brake pressure.Then,the residual sequence is obtained by comparing the measured pressure with the estimated pressure.On this basis,the improved sequential probability ratio test(SPRT)method based on mathematical statistics is applied to analyze the residual sequence to detect the fault.Finally,simulation and hardware-in-the-loop(HIL)testing results indicate that the proposed FDFTC strategy can detect sensor faults in time and efficiently complete braking when faults occur.Hence,the proposed FDFTC strategy can effectively deal with the faults of the aircraft brake pressure sensor,which is of great significance to improve the reliability and safety of the aircraft.

文摘For mission-oriented unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarms,mission capability assessment provides an important reference in the design and development process,and is a precondition for mission success.For this multi-criteria decisionmaking(MCDM)problem,the current literature lacks a way to unambiguously present criteria and the popular fuzzy analytic network process(ANP)approaches neglect the hesitancy of subjective judgments.To fill these research gaps,an MCDM method based on unified architecture framework(UAF)and interval-valued spherical fuzzy ANP(IVSF-ANP)is proposed in this paper.Firstly,selected viewpoints in UAF are extended to construct criteria models with standardized representation.Secondly,interval-valued spherical fuzzy sets are introduced to ANP to weight interdependent criteria,handling fuzziness and hesitancy in pairwise comparisons.A method of adjusting weights of experts based on their decision similarities is also included in this process to reduce ambiguity brought by multiple experts.Next,performance characteristics are non-linearly transformed regarding to expectations to get final results.This proposition is applied to assess the mission capability of UAV swarms to search and strike surface vessels.Comparative analysis shows that the proposed method is valid and reasonable.

文摘This paper is devoted to adaptive attitude tracking control for rigid spacecraft in the presence of parametric uncertainties, actuator faults and external disturbance. Specifically, a dynamic model is established based on one-tank spacecraft, which explicitly takes into account changing Center of Mass(CM). Then, a control scheme is proposed to achieve attitude tracking.Benefiting from explicitly considering the changing CM during the controller design process, the proposed scheme possesses good robustness to parametric uncertainties with less fuel consumption.Moreover, a fault-tolerant control algorithm is proposed to accommodate actuator faults with no need of knowing the actuators' fault information. Lyapunov-based analysis is provided and the closed-loop system stability is rigorously proved. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

文摘This paper considers a fault-tolerant control and vibration suppression problem of flexible spacecraft.The attitude dynamics is modeled by an interconnected system,in which the rigid part and the flexible part are coupled with each other.Such a model allows us to use the interconnected system approach to analyze the flexible spacecraft.Both distributed and decentralized observer-based fault-tolerant control schemes are developed,under which the closed-loop stability of flexible spacecraft can be ensured by using the cycle-small-gain theorem.Compared with the traditional method,this paper considers the faults occurred not only in the rigid parts,but also in the flexible parts.In addition,the application of the interconnected system approach simplifies the system model of flexible spacecraft,thereby the difficulty of theoretical analysis and engineering practice of fault-tolerant control of flexible spacecraft are greatly reduced.Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed methods and the comparison of different fault-tolerant control approach.
