Abstract:
Fault tolerance in model predictive control (MPC) of dynamic systems is important for both safety and economic optimality of operations. Among possible fault scenarios, a partial or full loss of actuation may be detrimental on the control performance or in worst case destabilize the system. In this talk, I will present a proactive approach for accommodating incipient actuator faults in linear control systems operated with economic MPC, by means of invariant safety sets and L1 exact penalty functions. I will further present an extension of the scheme to nonlinear control systems and discuss related challenges, as well as connections between the proposed approach and minimum-time control.
