Abstract

By combining the disciplines of control design, condition monitoring and fault detection identification and accommodation, it should be possible to provide actuators that possess: consistent and tuneable closed-loop performance, a tolerance to sensor faults and the ability to detect actuator deterioration early. This will lead to improved reliability and availability of the actuator. This paper discusses research carried-out to enable the inclusion of advanced control design, fault detection and condition monitoring schemes in an electro-mechanical actuator. The results in the paper were obtained on a laboratory scale actuator in test laboratories at the ALSTOM Power Technology Centre, Whetstone, UK.
