Design Approach to the Generalised Virtual Actuator for Control Reconfiguration

Keywords: fault-tolerant control, control reconfiguration, virtual actuator, dual observer, Markov parameters

This article presents a novel design approach to control reconfiguraton of linear plants after actuator faults. The known generalised virtual actuator is extended to make best use of redundancies within the plant, and to maximally use the faster static virtual actuator part. To this end, the notion of static I/O-reconfigurability is introduced using the Markov parameters of the plant. The approach is demonstrated by an example.
