About this book
* Numerous comments and remarks provide fundamental understanding of
fault detection and isolation and fault-tolerant control system design
problems
* Many detailed examples of industrial relevance are easily tailored by
practitioners to their specific applications
* Gives the reader a rich collection of state-of-the art, rigorous yet
practical methods, new research topics, and references to significant recent
work on the design of integrated fault detection and isolation and fault-
tolerant control systems for chemical processes
Fault-Tolerant Process Control focuses on the development of general, yet
practical, methods for the design of advanced fault-tolerant control
systems; these ensure an efficient fault detection and a timely response to
enhance fault recovery, prevent faults from propagating or developing into
total failures, and reduce the risk of safety hazards. To this end, methods
are presented for the design of advanced fault-tolerant control systems for
chemical processes which explicitly deal with actuator/controller failures
and sensor faults and data losses. Specifically, the book puts forward:
· a framework for detection, isolation and diagnosis of actuator
and sensor faults for nonlinear systems;
· controller reconfiguration and safe-parking-based fault-handling
methodologies;
· integrated-data- and model-based fault-detection and isolation and
fault-tolerant control methods;
· methods for handling sensor faults and data losses; and
· methods for monitoring the performance of low-level PID loops.
The methodologies proposed employ nonlinear systems analysis, Lyapunov
techniques, optimization, statistical methods and hybrid systems theory and
are predicated upon the idea of integrating fault-detection, local feedback
control, and supervisory control. The applicability and performance of the
methods are demonstrated through a number of chemical process examples.
Fault-Tolerant Process Control is a valuable resource for academic
researchers, industrial practitioners as well as graduate students pursuing
research in this area.
