Abstract

A Fault Tolerant attitude control system has been designed in this paper, which provides abilities of fault detection, identification and recovery. For this purpose, nonlinear dynamics of satellite is modeled based on Takagi-Sugeno method, which enables us to extend advantages of linear adaptive observer for nonlinear dynamics of satellite. In the designed adaptive observer, occurrence of fault in satellite reaction wheels are estimated based on an adaptive law which provides abilities of fault detection and identification in these actuators. Also, a back stepping feedback linearization control law has been applied for recovery which uses estimated fault term provided by adaptive observer as a compensation term in control law. So, bounded error of attitude control has been guaranteed even in faulty conditions. Finally, fault detection, identification and recovery algorithms have been verified by simulation results.
