A Novel Data-Based Fault-Tolerant Control Method for Multicontroller Linear Systems via Distributed Policy Iteration

This article presents a novel data-based fault-tolerant control method for multicontroller linear systems via distributed policy iteration. The traditional fault-tolerant control methods based on policy iteration may cause a huge-computational burden under the situation of high-dimension control laws. In order to solve this problem, a novel distributed policy iteration method is presented, where only one iterative control law is updated in each iteration, to realize the fault-tolerant control of multicontroller linear systems. The main contributions can be highlighted as follows: 1) a novel data-based distributed policy iteration method is presented to reduce the computational burden; 2) the fault-tolerant control method is presented via designing fault compensators; and 3) the developed data-based method only requires the partial system information. First, the model-based fault-tolerant control via distributed policy iteration and fault compensation is provided. Based on the model-based method, a data-based fault-tolerant control method is presented. Finally, numerical experiments are given to show the performance of the presented method.
