| Abstract: | The problem of fault identification in hybrid systems is investigated. It is assumed that the hybrid systems under consideration consist of a finite automaton, the set of nonlinear differential equations, and so-called mode activator that coordinates the action of these two parts. To solve the fault identification problem, sliding mode observers are used. The suggested approach for constructing sliding mode observers is based on the reduced order model of the original system. This allows to reduce complexity of sliding mode observers and relax the limitations imposed on the original system. Examples illustrate details of the solution. |
