Abstract

This paper deals with a design method of fault-tolerant control system based on Generalized Internal Model Control (GIMC) structure consisting of a standard outer loop feedback controller and an extra inner loop controller. The distinguished feature of GIMC structure is that the controller design for performance and robustness may be done separately. The outer loop controller is designed for nominal performance using some controller synthesis to meet (nominal) control specification, while the inner loop controller is designed to make a trade-off between robustness and performance. This feature is suitable for fault-tolerant control. The outer loop controller is designed for fault-free case, and the inner loop controller for faulty case. In the conventional methods, the inner loop controller is designed to maximize the robust stability margin without information on fault. Therefore, the performance in the faulty case tends to become conservative. In this paper, the inner loop controller is directly designed from experimental data collected from the faulty system. Since the collected data contains information on the fault, conservativeness in the conventional methods is decreased. The inner loop controller is designed by Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT). VRFT is a direct design method from input-output data without identifying any models. Since complexity of the controller can be specified by the designer, no complexity reduction has to be required, which becomes advantageous upon implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed design method is confirmed by an experiment.
