Abstract
Input saturation and actuator faults are common issues in control system engineering. This paper proposes an Error Governor (EG) policy that dynamically manages the feedback error to enhance the tracking error in Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) closed-loop system controlled by Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) regulators. By integrating an Adaptive Kalman Filter (AKF) for optimal fault estimation with the EG scheme, the solution enables fault-tolerant control without requiring modifications to the baseline controller, which can be impractical or unsuitable in certain applications. Furthermore, the proposed control scheme completely avoids windup, thereby replacing conventional Anti-Windup (AW) schemes for PIDs, and is computationally cheap and easy to implement, needing only the same inputs as conventional AW algorithms and the actuator fault estimation. Simulation results on the MIMO model of the Zagi flying-wing aerial vehicle show that the EG reduces the tracking error in presence of actuator faults by (Formula presented.) in terms of Integral Absolute Error (IAE), outperforming conventional AW methods.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
