Abstract

This paper investigates the problems of actuator fault estimation and accommodation for discrete-time switched systems with state delay. By using reduced-order observer method and switched Lyapunov function technique, a fault estimation algorithm is achieved for the discrete-time switched system with actuator fault and state delay. Then based on the obtained online fault estimation information, a switched dynamic output feedback controller is employed to compensate for the effect of faults by stabilizing the closed-loop systems. Finally, an example is proposed to illustrate the obtained results.
