The Fault-Adaptive Control Framework
Given a switching hybrid system with state space X and
input set U. The control problem for a set point
specification is to:
· Drive the system from any state in X to a set-point
region Xs in finite time
· Maintain the system in Xs
In the case of utility function specification, the
controller aims to reach the optimal state that
maximizes the system utility.
Model-based Fault Diagnosis
· Selection of the next step is based on a
map that defines how close the current
state is to Xs
