Generalized Correntropy Filter-Based Fault Diagnosis and Tolerant Control for Non-Gaussian Stochastic Systems Subject to Sensor Faults

In this paper, a generalized correntropy filter-based fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant control (FTC) strategy is proposed for stochastic systems with heavy-tailed distributed noises. In order to deal with the non-Gaussian noises involved in the stochastic systems, a generalized correntropy criterion (GCC) is reviewed first. Then, based on this criterion, an output feedback controller is designed for the healthy stochastic system to make the system output track the set-point as closely as possible. Considering the sensor fault, a GCC filter-based FD method is established, where residuals are used to detect and isolate the sensor fault. Moreover, when the sensor fault is diagnosed, normal signals are used to reconstruct the system so that the system can maintain run normally. Finally, the wind energy conversion system with three types of sensor faults is used to verify the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed FD and FTC method.
