Closed‐loop design of fault detection for networked non‐linear systems with mixed delays and packet losses.

This study is concerned with the problem of fault detection (FD) for networked control systems with discrete and infinite distributed delays subject to random packet losses and non‐linear perturbation. Both sensor‐to‐controller and controller‐to‐actuator packet losses are modelled as two different mutually independent Bernoulli distributed white sequences with known conditional probability distributions. By utilising an observer‐based fault detection filter (FDF) as a residual generator, the FD for networked non‐linear systems with mixed delays and packet losses is formulated as an H∞ model‐matching problem. Attention is focused on designing the FDF in the closed‐loop system setup such that the estimation error between the residuals and filtered faults is made as small as possible and at the same time the closed‐loop networked non‐linear system is exponentially stable in the mean‐square sense. To show the superiority and effectiveness of this work, two numerical examples are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
