Robust Fault Detection and Set-Theoretic UIO for Discrete-Time LPV Systems With State and Output Equations Scheduled by Inexact Scheduling Variables

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel robust fault detection (FD) approach and designs a set-theoretic unknown input observer (SUIO) for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems with both state and output equations scheduled by inexact scheduling variables. First, for such LPV systems, we propose a novel robust FD method by combing the set theory with the unknown input observer, which considers the bounds of measurement errors of scheduling variables to generate FD-oriented sets. In general, as long as sensors with sufficiently high precision are equipped to measure the scheduling variables, the bounds of measurement errors of scheduling variables can be less conservative than those direct bounds of sch..
