First, the NSP is introduced, and it is used to extend the conventional generic model control (GMC) to nonlinear processes with large input time-delay. Then the STF is adopted to estimate process states and sensor bias, the estimated sensor bias is used to drive a fault detection logic. When a sensor fault is detected, the estimated process states by the STF will be used to construct the process output to form a 'soft sensor', which is then used by the NSP (instead of the real outputs) to provide state predictors. These procedures constitute an active fault tolerant control scheme. Finally, simulation results of a three-tank-system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

Under the background of passive tracking where the target's state can be seen as a time-varying random parameter, PCRB of the state estimate error is analyzed in this paper, and the relation between PCRB and varied condition is also fully in- vestigated using different simulation examples. The presented analytical method provides a theoretical base for performance assessment of all kinds of suboptimal estimate algorithms used in practice.展开更多
