Zonotope-based fault estimation for Lipschitz nonlinear systems

Abstract An estimation of fault intervals using a T-N-L structured observer is suggested for Lipschitz nonlinear systems. By augmenting state vectors, the augmentation system and its observer are established, enabling the observer to concurrently estimate fault and system states. The L ∞ performance is applied to enhance the resilience of the fault interval estimation to external disturbances and unanticipated inputs. An adequate requirement for the observer design is also presented. The interval estimation of states and faults is ultimately created by using a zonotope. The proposed method exhibits advantages and feasibility when compared to existing simulation techniques.
