We address a fault tolerant control (FTC) issue about an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) under possible simultaneous actuator saturation and faults occurrence. Firstly, the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models representing nonlinear flight control systems (FCS) for an UAV with unknown disturbances and actuator saturation are established. Then, a normal H-infinity tracking controller is presented using an online estimator, which is introduced to weaken the saturation effect. Based on the normal tracking controller, we propose an adaptive fault tolerant tracking controller (FTTC) to solve actuator loss of effectiveness (LOE) fault problem. Compared with previous work, this approach developed in our research need not rely on any fault diagnosis unit and is easily applied in engineering. Finally, these results in simulation indicate the efficiency of our presented FTC scheme.
As the scale of the distribution network continues to increase, the importance of distribution network is getting higher and higher. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve fault location and restore it as soon as possible after the fault occurs. This paper proposes a new fault location algorithm for the radial distribution network, which is improved on the basis of traditional matrix algorithm. First, the power failure incidence matrix (PFIM) and power interruption information matrix (PIIM) is constructed based on the topological connection and fault information at each node. The fault location matrix (FLM) is then obtained through PFLM and PIIM to realize the fault location. Second, the accuracy of the proposed algorithm is verified by mathematical derivation. Finally, an 11-node radial distribution network is illustrated to testify the proposed algorithm. Results show that the improved fault location matrix algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively achieve fault location in radial distribution network.
A study on anomalous nuclear fusion reaction by using 1OkV pulsed high voltage discharge in deuterium was completed. During high voltage (HV) pulses no neutronsignal was detected, but two peaks of gamma rays were detected. The energies of two gamma rays are at 425 and 870keV, respectively. It might be explained as lo8Pd* and 56Fe' excited by high energy charged particles de-exciting radiations. Neither neutron signd nor gamma signal was detected in the intervals between the pulses.
