This paper proposes an approach for the joint state and fault estimation for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with simultaneous unknown input and actuator faults. This is achieved by designing an unknown input observer ...

In this work it is presented a framework for a global optimization tool that will take into account air craft dynamics and performances, noise nuisances and RNAV radionavigation requirements in order to assess an optimum ...

This paper proposes a new algorithm to reduce the number of gains of a polytopic LPV controller considering generic tuples of vertices, for which a common controller gain can be used. The use of Frobenius norm and the ...

In this paper, a fault tolerant control (FTC) strategy using virtual actuators and sensors for linear parameter varying (LPV) systems is proposed. The main idea of this FTC method, initially developed for LTI systems, is ...

This paper presents a fault tolerant control (FTC) strategy for unstable linear systems subject to actuator saturation and fault isolation delay. The solution relies on virtual actuators, an active fault-hiding method that ...

In this paper, the problem of joint state and parameter estimation in switching Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems is considered. The proposed solution relies on an adaptive observer, which is designed finding a solution ...

In this paper, the problem of fault diagnosis of a wind farm is addressed using interval nonlinear parameter varying (NLPV) parity equations. Fault detection is based on the use of parity equations assuming unknown but ...

The linear parameter varying (LPV) approach has proved to be suitable for controlling many non-linear systems. However, for those which are highly non-linear and complex, the number of scheduling variables increases rapidly. ...
