Fault Detection and Isolation for Continuous-time Switched Linear Systems: A Set Membership Approach

In this paper, the problem of Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is investigated for continuous-time switched linear systems via a set-membership approach. Under the fulfillment of the relative degree property by all the subsystems, the proposed solution is based on the use of a bank of interval unknown input observers. Under the assumption that disturbances and measurement noise are unknown but bounded with a priori known bounds, cooperativity and stability conditions are given in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) with the fulfillment of an Average Dwell Time (ADT) constraints. Then, upper and lower residuals are computed. A numerical example illustrating the validity of the method in fault detection and isolation is given.
