Research on static fault-tolerant control method of thruster based on MPC

摘要

To ensure that the unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) can still successfully complete the corresponding tasks in the case of thrusters having faults, a novel fault-tolerant control strategy which combines the model predictive control (MPC) algorithm and the fault-tolerant reconstruction algorithm is presented in this paper. Firstly, a cascade control method based on model predictive control algorithm is introduced, and then the problem when the thrusters in the faulty condition are discussed. For different degrees of thruster fault, the method of weighted pseudo inverse and quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) is used for hybrid fault-tolerant control (FTC). At the same time, to overcome the limitations brought by the pseudo inverse reconstruction algorithm, an optimization criterion with the infinite norm as the cost function is introduced into the QPSO algorithm to accelerate the search for the optimal solution in the feasibility space so as to ensure the feasibility of the solution. The simulation results show that the fault-tolerant control method proposed based on MPC (FTC-MPC) in this paper can provide ideal control effects for the unmanned underwater vehicles.
