Fault-tolerant Control and Some Applications
Professor Mogens Blanke (Aalborg University, Denmark)
Fault-tolerant control is the synonym for a set of recent techniques
that were developed to increase plant availability and reduce the risk
of safety hazards. The aim is to prevent simple faults developing into
serious failures. This is obtained through on-line fault diagnosis, automatic
condition assessment and calculation of appropriate remedial actions to
avoid certain consequences of a fault. The seminar introduces tools to
analyze and explore structure and other fundamental properties of an automated
system to determine whether fault-tolerance could be obtained and redundancy
in the controlled process would be fully utilized. The lecture presents
recent examples from applications: the Danish Ørsted satellite, ship
navigation and control of induction motors.
