Observer Based Multi-Level Fault Reconstruction for Interconnected Systems

The problem of local fault (unknown input) reconstruction for interconnected systems is addressed in this paper. This contribution consists of a geometric method which solves the fault reconstruction (FR) problem via observer based and a differential algebraic concept. The fault diagnosis (FD) problem is tackled using the concept of the differential transcendence degree of a differential field extension and the algebraic observability. The goal is to examine whether the fault occurring in the low-level subsystem can be reconstructed correctly by the output at the high-level subsystem under given initial states. By introducing the fault as an additional state of the low subsystem, an observer based approached is proposed to estimate this new state. Particularly, the output of the lower subsystem is assumed unknown, and is considered as auxiliary outputs. Then, the auxiliary outputs are estimated by a sliding mode observer which is generated by using global outputs and inverse techniques. After this, the estimated auxiliary outputs are employed as virtual sensors of the system to generate a reduced-order observer, which is caplable of estimating the fault variable asymptotically. Thus, the purpose of multi-level fault reconstruction is achieved. Numerical simulations on an intensified heat exchanger are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A Topological Minimax Theorem

We present a topological minimax theorem (Theorem 2.2). The topological assumptions on the spaces involved are somewhat weaker than those usually found in the literature. Even when reinterpreted in the convex setting of topological vector spaces, our theorem yields nonnegligible improvements, for example, of the Passy–Prisman theorem and consequently of the Sion theorem, contrary to most results on topological minimax. This work is part of our ongoing effort to elaborate a coherent theory of minimax.     

Boundaries of the receding horizon control for interconnected systems

In recent years, the finite-horizon quadratic minimization problem has become popular in process control, where the horizon is constantly rolled back. In this paper, this type of control, which is also called the receding horizon control, is considered for interconnected systems. First, the receding horizon control equations are formulated; then, some stability conditions depending on the interconnection norms and the horizon lengths are presented. For -coupled systems, stability results similar to centralized systems are obtained. For interconnected systems which are not -coupled, the existence of a horizon length and a corresponding stabilizing receding horizon control are derived. Finally, the performance of a locally computed receding horizon control for time-invariant and time-varying systems with different updating intervals is examined in an example.     

Robust exponential stability of switched delay interconnected systems under arbitrary switching

The problem of robust exponential stability for a class of switched nonlinear dynamical systems with uncertainties and unbounded delay is addressed. On the assumption that the interconnected functions of the studied systems satisfy the Lipschitz condition, by resorting to vector Lyapunov approach and M-matrix theory, the sufficient conditions to ensure the robust exponential stability of the switched interconnected systems under arbitrary switching are obtained. The proposed method, which neither require the individual subsystems to share a Common Lyapunov Function (CLF), nor need to involve the values of individual Lyapunov functions at each switching time, provide a new way of thinking to study the stability of arbitrary switching. In addition, the proposed criteria are explicit, and it is convenient for practical applications. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed theories.     

A novel non‐upwind,interconnected, multi‐grid,overlapping numerical procedure for problems involving fluid flow

A novel numerical procedure for heat, mass and momentum transfer in fluid flow is presented. The new scheme is passed on a non‐upwind, interconnected, multi‐grid, overlapping (NIMO) finite‐difference algorithm. In 2D flows, the NIMO algorithm solves finite‐difference equations for each dependent variable on four overlapping grids. The finite‐difference equations are formulated using the control‐volume approach, such that no interpolations are needed for computing the convective fluxes. For a particular dependent variable, four fields of values are produced. The NIMO numerical procedure is tested against the exact solution of two test problems. The first test problem is an oblique laminar 2D flow with a double step abrupt change in a passive scalar variable for infinite Peclet number. The second test problem is a rotating radial flow in an annular sector with a single step abrupt change in a passive scalar variable for infinite Peclet number. The NIMO scheme produced essentially the exact solution using different uniform and non‐uniform square and rectangular grids for 45 and 30° angle of inclination. All other schemes were unable to capture the exact solution, especially for the rectangular and non‐uniform grids. The NIMO scheme was also successful in predicting the exact solution for the rotating radial flow, using a uniform cylindrical‐polar coordinate grid. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于复杂网络理论的互联电网Braess悖论现象分析

为了探究互联电力网络中的Braess悖论现象, 采用二阶类Kuramoto相振子模型对电网进行动力学建模, 将两个子网通过大度节点相连构建互联电网。当两个子网间有功率传输时, 分别在两个子网内部新增传输线路探究互联电网发生Braess悖论现象的概率并分析其原因。研究发现: 当互联电网中两个子网间的功率传输达到某一临界值时, 受电子网的同步能力远优于供电子网的同步能力, 供电子网新增传输线路引起互联电网发生Braess悖论的概率远高于受电子网新增传输线路引发的Braess悖论概率。通过定义子网序参数对上述现象的产生进行深入分析。本研究对互联电网的拓扑优化具有重要意义。
