Fault Estimation and Fault-Tolerant Control Via a Novel Proportional–Integral Observer in Singular Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Systems

Abstract

This paper deals with the fault observer and fault-tolerant controller design for singular Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems subject to actuator faults. First, a novel proportional-integral observer is constructed to estimate the system states and faults. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the proposed observer are given in linear matrix inequality (LMI) terms. Furthermore, based on the state and fault estimation (FE), a fault-tolerant controller (FTC) is designed to effectively accommodate the influence of fault upon state and ensure that the closed-loop system is stable. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the presented method.
