In this paper, a novel fault‐tolerant control scheme is designed and analyzed for multi‐agent systems (MASs) with incipient faults, disturbances, parameter uncertainties, time delay, and nonlinear terms, and the proposed MAS with switching communication topologies. Firstly, the proposed distributed extended state observer estimates the incipient fault and system states in follower agents, which extends the incipient fault vector to a new system state. Meanwhile, the designed observer considers the output errors of itself and other agents. Further, a state estimation feedback‐based fault‐tolerant controller is constructed, composed of a delay estimator and a non‐delay estimator to guarantee the proposed MASs have good operation performance. Then, some stability analysis conclusions of the MAS with incipient faults, time delay, disturbances, parameter uncertainties, and nonlinear terms are obtained. The proposed results can also be applied to practical systems like the wireless power transfer system. Finally, two simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fault‐tolerant control technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A fault observer of the MIMO (multiple input multiple output) feedback fault system with measurement error and system error is designed and analysed based on the linear time-invariant system. First, the disturbance system with system error and measurement error in the case of failure is given. Second, the expression form of system error is obtained, and the system error is divided into the random error part and the error part generated by the system error at the last moment. Then, a fault diagnosis observer is given for a fault system with both system error and measurement error. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In the work, the observer-based control is designed and analyzed for a class of large-scale interconnected systems subject to parameter uncertainty. In the beginning, we build a large-scale interconnected system with parameter uncertainty and apply this model to a multi-level wireless power transfer system. By using this modeling method, the order of multi-level wireless power transfer system is greatly deduced. In addition, the multi-level wireless power transfer system include coupling terms and uncertain parameters considered in the observer-based control law design. We earn sufficient conditions of this model stability for multi-level wireless power transfer systems under this control law through the Lyapunov stability theorem and Young’s inequality. The stability analysis method suggested in the work could also be adopted in other practical plants. At last, the correctness and availability of this suggested approach are verified through simulation results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
