abstract = {This paper deals with the design of an Active Fault Tolerant Control (AFTC) approach for polytopic uncertain Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems subject to uncertainties and actuator faults. First, a fault estimation method is developed by integrating robust observer design with zonotopic techniques. The proposed observer is developed using L∞ norm to attenuate the effects of the uncertainties and to improve the accuracy of the estimation. Then, an AFTC strategy is used to compensate actuator fault effect and maintain system stability. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a case study on a 4.8MW wind turbine benchmark system. © 2022 European Control Association},

abstract = {This paper proposes an active Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) scheme for polytopic uncertain Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems subject to uncertainties and actuator faults. First, a fault estimation interval observer is designed to estimate the system state and the actuator fault. A novel approach is developed using the L∞ norm to attenuate the effects of the uncertainties and to improve the accuracy of the proposed observer. Then, based on the fault estimation information, the FTC strategy is designed using a linear state feedback control law and H∞ technique to compensate actuator faults and maintain system performance and stability, even under faulty conditions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by its application to a vehicle lateral dynamic nonlinear model. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {A discrete-time robust controller design method is proposed for optimal tracking of future references in preview systems. In the context of preview systems, it is supposed that future values of the reference signal are available a number of time steps ahead. The objective is to design a control algorithm that minimizes a quadratic error between the reference and the output of the system and at the same time achieves a good level of the control signal. The proposed solution combines a robust feedback controller with a feedforward anticipative filter. The feedback controller's purpose is to assure robustness of the closed-loop system to model uncertainties. Any robust control methodology can be used (such as μ-synthesis, qft, or crone control). The focus of this paper will be on the design of the feedforward action in order to introduce the anticipative effect with respect to known future values of the reference signal without hindering the robustness achieved through the feedback controller. As such, the model uncertainties are taken into account also in the design of the feedforward anticipative filter. The proposed solution is validated in simulation and on an experimental water tank level control system. © 2019 American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). All rights reserved.},

abstract = {This paper deals with the design of interval observers for singularly perturbed linear systems. The full-order system is first decoupled into slow and fast subsystems. Then, using the cooperativity theory, an interval observer is designed for the slow and fast subsystems assuming that the measurement noise and the disturbances are bounded and the singular perturbed parameter is uncertain. This decoupling leads to two observers that estimate the lower and upper bounds for the feasible state domain. A numerical example shows the efficiency of the proposed technique. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor \& Francis Group.},
