RESEARCH AREA: DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL SYSTEM
Modern control systems are becoming more and more complex due to high performance requirements of modern industries. At the same time, component failures such as actuator failure, sensor failure and controller failure are inevitable. Faults may change dynamics, lead to performance degradation, and even result in instability. So it is not trivial to consider fault tolerance in control system design.
A Fault-tolerant control system is a control system that possesses the ability to accommodate for system failures automatically and to maintain overall system stability and acceptable performance in the event of component failures.
