Fault tolerance evaluation of nonlinear systems using viability theory

Trabajo presentado a la 3rd Conference on Control and Fault Tolerant Systems, celebrada en Barcelona (España) del 7 al 9 de septiembre de 2016.This paper presents a computational procedure based on viability theory to evaluate the fault tolerance admissibility of a given fault configuration of a nonlinear system controlled by means of a predictive control law. The admissible solution set for the control problem, including the effect of faults, is determined using viability kernel and capture basin. Finally, water heater part of pasteurization process is provided as benchmark in order to show the usefulness of viability theory for fault tolerance evaluation.This work has been partially funded by the Spanish Government (MINECO) through the project CICYT ECOCIS (ref. DPI2013-48243-C2-1-R), by MINECO and FEDER through the project CICYT HARCRICS (ref. DPI2014-58104-R).Peer Reviewe
